Abstract

Ethical decision-making is often evaluated in the literature through deontological and teleological approaches, commonly referred to as ethical positions. Ethical decision-making requires an awareness of ethical sensitivity and ethical dilemmas. It involves understanding the emotional experiences of others and assisting them. In cases of alexithymia, where there is difficulty in understanding and expressing emotional experiences, empathy may be limited, and emotions may not be effectively used. In this research, the impact of the level of alexithymia on ethical positions in students of the School of Health Services, along with demographic variables, was evaluated. In this descriptive research using a quantitative research approach, data was obtained using the "Ethical Position Scale-EPQ" and the "Toronto Alexithymia Scale-TAS." Analysis was performed using the reliability testing, t-test, One-Way ANOVA Test, LSD multiple comparison test, and Pearson Correlation and Regression Analysis test were used. In ethical decision-making, it has been found that women are more idealistic than men, while men tend to be more alexithymic and deficient in outward thinking. As students' levels of alexithymia increase, they are determined to adopt a more relativistic approach. It has been observed that relativism increases and idealism decreases significantly among individuals with high alexithymia scores. These findings indicate that the level of alexithymia has a significant impact on ethical positions. The fact that individuals with high levels of alexithymia adopt a subjective position that is less concerned with the consequences of an action on others and resembles egoism suggests that these individuals may have difficulty in empathizing due to emotional inadequacy.

述情障碍是改变道德立场的一个因素：对土耳其大学健康服务职业学校学生的实证研究

摘要

文献中经常通过义务论和目的论方法（通常称为道德立场）来评估道德决策。道德决策需要了解道德敏感性和道德困境。它涉及理解他人的情感经历并帮助他们。在述情障碍的情况下，理解和表达情感体验有困难，同理心可能会受到限制，并且可能无法有效地利用情感。在这项研究中，评估了述情障碍水平对卫生服务学院学生道德立场的影响以及人口统计学变量。在这项使用定量研究方法的描述性研究中，数据是使用“道德立场量表-EPQ”和“多伦多述情障碍量表-TAS”获得的。使用可靠性检验、t检验、单因素方差分析检验、LSD多重比较检验以及皮尔逊相关和回归分析检验进行分析。在道德决策方面，人们发现，女性比男性更理想主义，而男性则更倾向于述情障碍，且缺乏外向思维。随着学生述情障碍程度的增加，他们决心采用更加相对主义的方法。据观察，在述情障碍得分较高的个体中，相对主义显着增加，唯心主义显着下降。这些发现表明述情障碍的水平对道德立场有重大影响。事实上，具有高度述情障碍的个体采取的主观立场不太关心行为对他人的后果，并且类似于利己主义，这表明这些个体可能由于情感不足而难以共情。
