Bu çalışma, anket verilerini kullanarak Kırgızistan’da evlilik ve evliliğe hazırlanmada bazı algı ve davranışları araştırmaktadır. Sonuçlar, öğrencilerin çoğunun evlilik öncesi flört deneyimine ve evliliğe olumlu baktıklarını göstermektedir. Hemen hemen bütün örnekler temelde evliliğe kendi tercihleri olarak karar vermektedirler. Bununla beraber yarısından daha azı evlilik için hazır olduklarını hissetmektedirler. Tek tek yapılan görüşmelerin büyük bir çoğunluğu evlilik ve aile hayatı için bir hazırlığa gerek olduğunu bildirmişlerdir. Bu çalışma, aynı zamanda, evliliği algılama ve flörte dair etnik gruba ve cinsiyete göre fakları da bulmuştur

Öz

This study explores dating behaviours and perceptions of students on some aspects of marriage and marital preparation in Kyrgyzstan by using questionnaire data. The results indicated that the majority of students had dating experiences to date and also had a positive approach towards marriage. Almost entire sample preferred self-initiated marriage. However, less than half of them felt that they were ready for marriage. Vast majority of the individuals reported a need for preparation in relation to marriage and family life. The Most frequently cited topics for possible marital preparation courses were communication and conflict management. This study also found ethnic group and gender differences regarding dating and perceptions of marriage
