INVESTIGATING INFIDELITY TENDENCY AND CONFLICT MANAGEMENT BASED ON ATTACHMENT STYLES AND GENDER

Abstract

Öz Bu araştırmanın amacı, bağlanma stillerinin çatışma çözüm biçimleri ve aldatma eğilimi üzerindeki etkisinde cinsiyetin rolü olup olmadığını; ayrıca aldatma eğilimi ve çatışma yönetim biçimleri arasındaki ilişkileri incelemektir. Bu amaçla 145 kadın, 55 erkek olmak üzere 200 evli katılımcıya Yakın İlişkilerde Yaşantılar Envanteri, Aldatma Eğilimi Ölçeği ve Çatışma Yönetim Biçimleri Ölçeği verilmiştir. Yapılan analizler sonucunda, güvensiz bağlanma stiline sahip bireylerin, güvenli bağlanma stiline sahip olanlara ve erkeklerin kadınlara göre aldatma eğilimlerinin daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Güvensiz bağlama stiline sahip olanların güvenlilere göre daha fazla olumsuz aktif ve olumsuz pasif çatışma yönetimine ve kadınların erkeklere göre daha fazla olumlu aktif çatışma yönetim biçimine yöneldikleri bulunmuştur. Son olarak aldatma eğilimi ile olumsuz aktif çatışma yönetim biçimi arasında da anlamlı ve olumlu yönde ilişkiye rastlanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular literatür ışığında tartışılmıştır. Anahtar kelimeler: Bağlanma stilleri, aldatma, çatışma yönetimi, cinsiyet
