Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to find out the effects of
predicting variables on Dyadic Adjustment (DA) and to examine them by a
psychoeducational programme. Values and Social Support are considered to be the
predictor variables of Dyadic Adjustment (DA) here in this study. The sample
participants of this study are randomly chosen, married, and employed two
hundred and eleven Turkish couples (211 males and 211 females, 422 participants
totally) who were born in the cities of Adana, Çanakkale, Bursa, İstanbul, Osmaniye
and Zonguldak. Among these samples,  ten participants with low Dyadic
Adjustment were chosen randomly for the experiment and control groups. 
According to the results of experimental study, it can be said that x time
effect is reasonable (p<.05) for all the dependent variables of the study,
namely Dyadic Adjustment Psychoeducational Programme (DAPP), Marriage
Adjustment, Values and Social Support. Psychoeducational Programmes to foster
Dyatic Adjustment are effective to increase the marriage adjustment , and
values and social support level. Moreover, this effect proved to be ongoing and
increasing even after two months’ time. The results of the descriptive study
and experimental study were discussed in the light of the findings, and
suggestions for future researches were investigated and made.
