Özet:

 This study aims to investigate the association between the dimensions of differentiation of self-emotional reactivity, I-position, emotional cutoff, and fusion with others- and perceived romantic relationship quality among Turkish emerging adults. The sample consists of 424 individuals aged 18 to 29 who have been in a romantic relationship for at least six months. Data were collected using the Perceived Relationship Quality Components Inventory, Differentiation of Self Inventory- Short Form, and a demographic form. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed to determine whether the dimensions of differentiation of self-predict overall perceived romantic relationship quality, after controlling for gender, student status, education, income, and relationship type. Results revealed that I-position and the low level of fusion with others positively albeit weakly predicted perceived romantic relationship quality. In contrast, emotional reactivity and emotional cutoff were not significant predictors of perceived romantic relationship quality. The findings were discussed in relation to the relevant literature, with implications highlighted, and recommendations presented.

 Bu çalışma Türkiyede yaşayan beliren yetişkinlerde benliğin ayrımlaşmasının boyutları -duygusal tepkisellik, ben-pozisyonu, duygusal kopma ve başkalarıyla iç içe geçme- ile algılanan romantik ilişki kalitesi arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Örneklem, 18-29 yaş aralığında ve en az altı aydır romantik bir ilişki yaşayan 424 kişiden oluşmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak Algılanan Romantik İlişki Kalitesi Ölçeği, Benliğin Farklılaşması Envanteri-Kısa Formu ve demografik form kullanılmıştır. Cinsiyet, öğrencilik durumu, eğitim, gelir düzeyi ve ilişki tipi kontrol edildikten sonra, benliğin ayrımlaşması boyutlarının algılanan romantik ilişki kalitesini yordayıp yordamadığını görmek için sıralı çoklu regresyon analizi yapılmıştır. Sıralı çoklu regresyon analizinin sonuçları ben-pozisyonu ve düşük düzeyde başkalarıyla iç içe geçmenin algılanan romantik ilişki kalitesini olumlu yönde ve zayıf şekilde yordadığını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Buna karşılık, duygusal tepkisellik ve duygusal kopma alt boyutları algılanan romantik ilişki kalitesini anlamlı düzeyde yordamamıştır. Bulgular ilgili alanyazın çerçevesinde tartışılmış, uygulama önerileri vurgulanmış ve öneriler sunulmuştur.
