Günümüz toplumlarında bireylerin evlenme ve çocuk sahibi olma yaşlarının giderek arttığı

görülmektedir. İlgili yazında ise bireylerin evlenme ve çocuk sahibi olma zamanlamalarındaki

farklılıkların, evlilik yaşantılarının kalitesiyle ilişkili olduğu ortaya konmuştur. Bu kapsamda

yapılan bu çalışmanın amacı, günümüz Türkiye’sindeki genç yetişkinlerin, evlenme ve ilk kez

çocuk sahibi olmalarındaki zamanlamalarının, evlilik doyumlarıyla ilişkisini incelemektir.

Çalışmaya 24-41 yaşları arasında 445 evli birey katılmıştır. Katılımcılar, kendi evlenme ve

çocuk sahibi olma yaşları ile ideal gördükleri evlenme ve çocuk sahibi olma yaşları temelinde;

erken, zamanında ve geç olarak gruplandırılarak karşılaştırılmıştır. Eğitim ve gelirin olası etkisi

kontrol edilerek yapılan kovaryans analizlerinde evlenme açısından sosyal saatini zamanında

algılayan bireylerin, erken ve geç algılayan bireylere göre daha yüksek evlilik doyumuna sahip

oldukları bulunmuştur. Çocuk sahibi olma açısından sosyal saat grupları, eğitim ve gelirin

olası etkisi kontrol edilerek karşılaştırıldığında, erken gruptaki bireylerin, zamanında ve geç

gruptaki bireylere göre daha düşük evlilik doyumuna sahip oldukları görülmüştür. Araştırma

bulguları evlenme ve çocuk sahibi olmadaki zamanlamanın evlilik doyumu ile ilişkili olduğunu

göstermiştir.
