Çevrimiçi Aldatmayı Etkileyen Faktörler: Bir Gözden Geçirme

Öz

Çevrimiçi aldatma son yirmi yılda insanların gündemine girmiş bir problemdir. Bu sebeple güncel çalışmaların da gündemine dahil olmakla beraber faktörleri henüz yeteri düzeyde netleştirilememiştir. Mevcut tarama çalışması çevrimiçi aldatmayı etkileyen faktörleri Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis yönergeleri doğrultusunda incelemektedir. İncelen araştırmalar (i) ampirik bir çalışma olması, (ii) Türkçe ve İngilizce dillerinde yazılmış olması, (iii) akran denetimine tabi dergilerde yayınlanmış olması (iv), çevrimiçi aldatmaya etki edebilecek en az bir faktörü değerlendirmiş olması kriterleri gözetilerek tarama çalışmasına dahil edilmiştir. Çevrimiçi aldatmaya etki eden faktörleri inceleyen sekiz çalışma incelenmiş ve bu araştırmaların bulguları değerlendirilmiştir. Aldatmaya dair daha olumlu tutum, daha düşük ilişki bağlılığı, daha yüksek kalitede alternatif partnerler, düşük evlilik kalitesi, yüksek yalnızlık, daha düşük ilişki tatmini, daha yüksek ilişki belirsizliği, kaygılı ve kaçıngan bağlanma ve güçlü konumda olma çevrimiçi aldatmayla anlamlı düzeyde ilişkili bulunmuştur.

Factors Affecting Online Infidelity: A Review

Abstract

Online infidelity has been a topic of discussion for the past two decades. Hence, while it is on the agenda of current researches, the associated factors of online infidelity have not yet been sufficiently clarified. The current review examines factors affecting online infidelity in line with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guidelines. In the review the studies were included considering the criteria of (i) being an empirical study, (ii) being written in Turkish or English, (iii) being published in peer-reviewed journals (iv), evaluating at least one factor that may affect online infidelity. Eight studies which include factors affecting online infidelity were examined and the findings of these studies were evaluated. More positive attitudes towards infidelity, lower relationship commitment, higher quality of alternative partners, lower marital quality, higher loneliness, lower relationship satisfaction, higher relationship uncertainty, anxious and avoidant attachment, and being in a strong position were found significantly associated with online infidelity.
