Examining the Relationship Between Positive Thinking Skills and Patience Tendency in Women.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between positive thinking skills and patience tendencies among women in Istanbul, Turkey. A sample of 405 female participants with an average age of 32 years completed measures of positive thinking and patience. Results revealed a significant positive correlation between positive thinking and overall patience tendency, as well as its sub-dimensions (short-term, long-term, and interpersonal patience). Furthermore, positive thinking was found to be a significant predictor of patience disposition. These findings suggest that positive thinking may serve as a valuable resource for enhancing women's patience tendencies, potentially contributing to improved life quality and resilience. This study highlights the interconnected nature of these psychological traits and their potential importance in women's psychological well-being.
