Abstract

Narsistik kişilik özellikleri ilişki çatışmalarıyla ilişkilendirilir ve ilişkileri algılama biçimi davranış ve tutumları etkileyebilir. Bu nedenle çalışmanın amacı, narsisistik kişilik özellikleri ile aşk stilleri arasındaki ilişkide aşk mitlerinin aracı rolünü incelemektir. Araştırmanın örneklemi basit tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemiyle belirlenmiştir. Örneklemi, romantik bir ilişki içinde olduğunu belirten ve araştırmaya gönüllü olarak katılan, 18-45 yaş aralığında (Ortalama=23,81, Standart Sapma=5,95) 231 kadın 187 erkek toplam 418 birey oluşturmaktadır. Ölçüm araçları sosyo-demografik veri formu, Narsistik Kişilik Envanteri, Aşk Tutumları Ölçeği (Kısa Form) ve Aşk Mitleri Ölçeği'dir. Anketlere verilen cevaplar SPSS 25 programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Pearson Korelasyon Testi ve PROCESS 3.5 kullanıldı. Sonuçlar, sevginin kötüye kullanılması ve aşkın idealleştirilmesine ilişkin aşk mitlerinin, narsisistik kişilik özellikleri ile mani ve ludus aşk tarzı arasında aracılık ettiğini göstermiştir. Sonuçlar, aşkın kötüye kullanılması ve aşk mitlerinin idealleştirilmesinin, narsisistik kişilik özelliklerine sahip kişilerde romantik ilişkilerde oyunbaz gibi davranma, dikkatsiz olma ve istismarcı olma eğilimi yarattığını göstermektedir. Araştırmanın sonuçları, narsist kişilerin ilişki çatışmalarına çözüm bulmada, ilişki doyumunu artırmada ve böylece kıskançlık, sadakatsizlik, dikkatsiz veya manipülatif, saldırgan ve istismarcı tutumların önlenmesinde yardımcı olabilir.
