Romantik İlişkiler ve Aşk

Öz

Yakın ilişki ya da aşk, bazen kişisel bir ilişki, bazen kişisel ilişkilerin özel bir öğesi, bazen de bir insanın diğerine duyduğu belli bir duyguyu belirtmek için kullanılmaktadır. Aşk konusu son yıllarda psikolojinin çalışma alanı içinde yer alan temalardan biri olmuştur. Aşkın tanımı kültürden kültüre, kişiden kişiye farklılık göstermektedir. Aşk yakınlık, bağlanma, güven, saygı ve sevgi gibi duyguları beraberinde getirmektedir. Bu çalışmada Türkçe literatürde bu konudaki eksikliğin fark edilmesinden dolayı kuramsal olarak ele alınmıştır. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, aşk konusunda farklı açıklamalar yapan kuramları ele almaktır.
