Interparental Conflict and Emerging Adults’ Couple Satisfaction: The Mediating Roles of Romantic Relationship Conflict and Marital Attitudes

Öz:
The aim of the present study is to explore the mediation effects of conflict in romantic relationship and general attitudes towardmarriage in accounting for the association between interparental conflict and emerging adults’ couple satisfaction. Three hundred andone emerging adults (229 women, 76.1%; 72 men, 23.9%) studying at a university located in the western part of Turkey took par t inthis study. The age range was between 18 and 25 (M = 20.24; SD = 1.55). The participants completed a battery of self-report measuresassessing interparental conflict, conflict in romantic relationship, general attitudes toward marriage, and couple satisfaction. Astructural latent model was used to test direct and indirect effects among research variables. The findings of the study indicated thatthe conflict in the romantic relationship and the attitudes towards marriage had a full mediating effect on the relationship between theconflict between parents and the relationship satisfaction of the emerging adults. As a result, all these findings offer significantevidence about the mechanisms by which interparental conflict influences emerging adults’ couple satisfaction.

Öz:
Bu çalışmanın amacı, ebeveynler arası çatışma ve beliren yetişkinlerin romantik ilişki doyumu arasındaki ilişkide romantik il işkide yaşanan çatışmanın ve evliliğe yönelik genel tutumların aracı rolünü incelemektir. Araştırmaya Türkiye’nin batısında yer alan bir üniversitede eğitimlerine devam eden toplam 301 beliren yetişkin (229 kadın, %76.1; 72 erkek, %23.9) katılmıştır. Katılımcıla rın yaşları 18 ile 25 arasında değişmiştir (ORT = 20.24; SS = 1.55). Katılımcılar; ebeveynler arası çatışma, romantik ilişkide yaşanan çatışma, evliliğe yönelik genel tutumlar ve ilişki doyumunu ölçmek amacıyla hazırlanmış bir kendini bildirim ölçek bataryasın ı doldurmuştur. Araştırmanın değişkenleri arasındaki doğrudan ve dolaylı etkileri test etmek için yapısal örtük model kullanılmıştır. Araştırma bulguları, romantik ilişkide yaşanan çatışmanın ve evliliğe yönelik tutumların ebeveynler arası çatışma ve beliren yetişkinlerin ilişki doyumu arasındaki ilişkide tam aracı etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Sonuç olarak, tüm bu bulgular ebeveynler arası çatışmanın beliren yetişkinlerin romantik ilişki doyumunu hangi mekanizmalar üzerinden etkilediğine ilişkin önemli kanı tlar sunmaktadır.
