Genç yetişkinlik dönemi, bireylerin yakın ilişki inanç, tutum ve alışkanlıklarını oluşturdukları, ve bu tutum ve alışkanlıklarının evlilik ilişkisi gibi gelecekteki daha ciddi ilişkilerin temelini oluşturan son derece önemli bir gelişimsel evredir. Dünya genelinde artan boşanma oranları ve bunun aile yapısı, çocukların ve yetişkinlerin ruh sağlığı üzerindeki olumsuz etkileri göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, gelecek nesillerin ruh sağlığı adına tedbirler alınması gerekmektedir. Ulusal çapta yapılan bazı boylamsal çalışmalar, ilişkilerde bağlılık eksikliğinin boşanmanın bir numaralı sebebi olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Bu yazı, genç yetişkinlerin romantik ilişkilerinde bağlılık kavramının önemi ve bu kavramın olası yordayıcıları konusunda literatür özeti sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Mevcut kuram ve araştırmalar ışığında, bağlılığın iki önemli bilişsel yordayıcısı olarak bağlanma stilleri ve yakın ilişki inançları üzerinde özellikle durulmuştur.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Romantik İlişkiler, Genç Yetişkinlik, Bağlılık, Bağlanma Stilleri, Yakın İlişki İnançları
