Abstract

Bu çalışma, borderline kişilik organizasyonu ile aldatma eğilimi sebepleri arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma, 251 (%62.0) kadın katılımcı ve 154 erkek (%38.0) olmak üzere toplamda 400 genç yetişkinin gönüllü olarak katılımından oluşmaktadır. Çalışmada araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan Sosyo-Demografik Bilgi Formu, Borderline Kişilik Ölçeği (BKÖ) ve Aldatma Eğilimi Sebepleri Ölçeği (AESÖ) kullanılmıştır. Çevrim içi olarak toplanan veriler SPSS 25 programına uygun şekilde kodlanarak aktarılmıştır. Analizlere başlamadan önce normal dağılım varsayımı kontrol edilmiş ve araştırmaya ilişkin tüm ölçüm araçlarının normal dağılılma uygun olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına göre, borderline kişilik özellikleri ile aldatma eğilimi arasında pozitif yönde bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Sonrasında tespit edilen bu ilişkiyi referans alarak regresyon modeli kurulmuştur. Kurulan regresyon modelinin sonucuna göre, dürtüsellik, terk edilme ve psikoz benzeri durumlar bağımsız değişkenleri aldatma eğilimi bağımlı değişkeni için anlamlı yordayıcı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Dürtüsellik, terk edilme ve psikoz benzeri durumlar bağımsız değişkenlerinin aldatma etkisinin pozitif olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Aldatma eğilimindeki değişimi en iyi açıklayan değişkenin dürtüsellik olduğu saptanmıştır. Bu bulgular ışığında dürtüselliğin aldatma eğilimindeki değişimi en iyi açıklayan değişken olduğunu göstermiştir.

The Investigation of the Relationship Between Borderline Personality Organization and the Reasons for the Tendency Towards Infidelity

Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between borderline personality organization and tendency to infidelity. The research consisted of a total of 400 young adults, 251 (62.0%) of whom were female participants and 154 (38.0%) were male, who volunteered to participate. The Socio-Demographic Information Form, Borderline Personality Questionnaire (BPQ), and Infidelity Tendency Scale (SCIT) prepared by the researcher were used in the study. The data collected online were coded appropriately and transferred to SPSS 25 program for analysis. Prior to conducting the analysis, the assumption of normal distribution was checked and it was found that all measurement tools were suitable for normal distribution. According to the research findings, a positive relationship was found between borderline personality traits and tendency to infidelity. Subsequently, a regression model was established based on this relationship. According to the result of the regression model, impulsivity, abandonment, and psychosis-like situations were found to be significant predictors for the dependent variable of tendency to infidelity. It was observed that the effect of impulsivity, abandonment, and psychosis-like situations as independent variables on infidelity was positive. Impulsivity was found to be the best variable that explained the changes in the tendency to infidelity. These findings indicate that impulsivity is the best variable that explains the changes in the tendency to infidelity.
