Abstract
In this study the Yucel method, a new measure of psychological well-being, was
researched in order to test the construct validity. The method claims to distinguish
itself by not relaying on language as much as contemporary measures. The aim of the
method is to improve the healthcare of clients with language barriers in treatment and
diagnostics. This study was done by comparing the scores of 85 university students
on theoretically associated psychological constructs in a multiple regression analysis
with the scores of the individual Yucel layer. It was found that self-esteem, selfefficacy,
resilience, well-being, symptomatic stress and distress in a social role are
related to the score of the individual Yucel layer. Distress from interpersonal
relationships is found to be unrelated to the individual Yucel layer. Considering these
findings, it can be concluded that the construct of self-esteem that the individual
layer of the Yucel method measures is validated by other associated constructs.
