Özet
This study examined the predictor role of perceived school counselor support (PSCS) on resilience, general mattering, and self-esteem in high school students who have used counseling services. A total of 573 students (263 boys, 310 girls) participated in the study, providing insight into how counselor support may contribute to students' psychological well-being. Structural equation modeling was employed to test the proposed second-order factor model in which PSCS was specified as a higher-order construct. Following minor, theoretically justified modifications, the final model demonstrated acceptable fit to the data (chi(2)(580) = 1965.87, chi(2)/df = 3.39, CFI = 0.896, TLI = 0.887, RMSEA = 0.065). Results indicated that PSCS significantly and positively predicted resilience (beta = 0.15, p < 0.01), general mattering (beta = 0.19, p < 0.001), and self-esteem (beta = 0.24, p < 0.001). Although the explained variance in the outcome variables was modest, findings highlight the importance of perceived counselor support as a meaningful psychological resource in adolescents' well-being. These results underscore the role of school counseling services in strengthening students' resilience, sense of mattering, and self-worth.
