Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinin romantik ilişki doyumu ve romantik ilişkilerde öz yeterlik düzeylerinin, ilişkileri sürdürme stratejilerini yordama gücünü belirlemektir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, 2020-2021 eğitim-öğretim yılında Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi’nin çeşitli fakülte ve bölümlerinde öğrenim gören 260’ı (%64) kadın 146’sı (%36) erkek olmak üzere toplam 406 üniversite öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada, veri toplama araçları olarak “İlişkileri Sürdürme Stratejileri Ölçeği”, “Romantik İlişkilerde Doyum Ölçeği”, “Romantik İlişkilerde Öz Yeterlik Ölçeği” ve “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” kullanılmıştır. Verilerin çözümlenmesinde, aşamalı regresyon (stepwise) analizi uygulanmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular, romantik ilişki doyumu ve romantik ilişkilerde öz yeterliğin ilişki sürdürme stratejilerine yönelik toplam varyansın %53.3’ünü açıkladığını ve ilişki sürdürme stratejilerinin en güçlü yordayıcısının romantik ilişki doyumu olduğunu göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak, üniversite öğrencilerinin ilişki sürdürme becerilerinin geliştirilmesine, romantik ilişkilerde doyum ve romantik ilişkilerde öz yeterlik düzeylerinin artırılmasına yönelik programların geliştirilmesi ve uygulanması önerilmektedir.

Abstract

The aim of this study is; to determine the predictive power of university students' romantic relationship satisfaction and self-efficacy in romantic relationships levels on relationship maintenance strategies. The study group of the research consists of 406 university students, 260 (64%) female and 146 (36%) male, studying in various faculties and departments of Dokuz Eylül University in the 2020-2021 academic year. In the research, "Relationship Maintenance Strategies Scale", "Romantic Relationship Satisfaction Scale", "Self-Efficacy in Romantic Relationships Scale" and "Personal Information Form" were used as data collection tools. In the data analysis, stepwise regression analysis was performed. Findings from the study show that romantic relationship satisfaction and self-efficacy in romantic relationships explain 53.3% of the total variance in relationship maintenance strategies, and romantic relationship satisfaction is the strongest predictor of relationship maintenance strategies. As a result, it is recommended to develop and implement programs to improve the relationship maintenance skills of university students, to increase their satisfaction in romantic relationships and their self-efficacy levels in romantic relationships.
