KADINLARIN AŞKA DAİR TUTUMLARININ KİŞİLİK ÖZELLİKLERİ İLE İLİŞKİSİ: UYGULAMALI BİR ÇALIŞMA

Öz

Aşk, psikolojik, biyolojik ve sosyal faktörlerin etkileşimiyle şekillenen çok yönlü bir olgudur. Karmaşık ve çok boyutlu yapısı toplumsal, kültürel ve tarihsel dinamiklerle etkileşimle, bireysel ve duygusal deneyimlerin ötesinde toplumsal kurumlar, değerler ve normlar tarafından inşa edilen bir gerçeklik olduğunu anlatır. Bu gerçekliğin inşası mikro düzeyde bireysel dışavurumlarla yakından ilişkilidir. İnsan davranışını şekillendiren istikrarlı fakat değişen ve gelişen bir özellik yapısı olarak kişilik özellikleri aşk, romantik bağlılık ve güvene yönelik tutumları önemli ölçüde etkilemektedir. Bu çalışma ise toplumsal cinsiyet ve biyolojik faktörler açısından duygusallığın daha çok atfedildiği kadınların kişilik özellikleri ile aşka yönelik tutumları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektedir. Araştırma temel olarak kadınların aşka yönelik tutumlarının kişilik özellikleri ve demografik özellikler açısından ortaya koyduğu ilişkilere odaklanmaktadır. Araştırma Konya'da yaşayan 20 yaş üstü 520 kadın ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada verileri elde etmek için "Büyük Beşli - 50 Kişilik Testi", "Aşka İlişkin Tutumlar Ölçeği" ve demografik bilgi sorularını içeren "Kişisel Bilgi Formu" kullanılarak buradan elde edilen veriler istatistiki testlere tabi tutulmuştur. Ölçeklerin alt boyutları arasındaki ilişkiler kadınların kişilik özellikleri ve demografik özelliklerinin aşka dair tutumlarını etkilediğini ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışma bulgularında kişilik özellikleri ile aşka dair tutumlar arasında tutarlı ilişkiler olduğu görülmüştür.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WOMEN’S ATTITUDES TOWARDS LOVE AND THEIR PERSONALITY TRAITS: AN APPLIED STUDY

Öz

Love is a multifaceted phenomenon shaped by the interaction of psychological, biological and social factors. Its complex and multidimensional structure tells us that it is a reality constructed by social institutions, values and norms beyond individual and emotional experiences through interaction with social, cultural and historical dynamics. The construction of this reality is closely related to individual expressions at the micro level. Personality traits, as a stable but changing and developing structure of characteristics that shape human behavior, significantly affect attitudes towards love, romantic commitment and trust. This study examines the relationship between the personality traits of women, to whom emotionality is attributed more in terms of gender and biological factors, and their attitudes towards love. The research mainly focuses on the relationships between women's attitudes towards love in terms of personality traits and demographic characteristics. The research was conducted with 520 women over the age of 20 living in Konya. In order to obtain the data in the research, the "Big Five - 50 Personality Test" and the "Attitudes Towards Love Scale" and the "Personal Information Form" containing demographic information questions were used and the data obtained from here were subjected to statistical tests. The relationships between the sub-dimensions of the scales reveal that women's personality traits and demographic characteristics affect their attitudes towards love.The study findings showed that there were consistent relationships between personality traits and attitudes towards love. .
