Özet:

 Marital satisfaction is considered as a critical criterion that determines the quality of couples interactions with each other. Attachment styles, which are determined to have an effect on marital satisfaction, shape the attitudes and behaviours adopted by individuals in close relationships, and anxiety and avoidance dimensions are considered as significant predictors of marital satisfaction. For this purpose, in the present study, the mediating role of cognitive distortions in the relationship between attachment styles and marital satisfaction in married individuals was examined. The study group of this research, which was conducted in accordance with the relational survey model, consisted of 210 152 female, 58 male married individuals. Experiences in Close Relationships Scale, Marital Life Scale, Cognitive Distortions in Relationships Scale and Personal Information Form were used as data collection tools. As a result of the study, significant negative relationships were found between avoidant and anxious attachment and marital satisfaction. However, both avoidant and anxious attachment sub-dimensions in attachment styles were positively and significantly related to the total score of cognitive distortions, unrealistic relationship expectancy and intimacy avoidance sub-dimensions. Finally, the mediating role of avoidance of intimacy was found to be statistically significant in the relationship between anxious attachment and marital satisfaction.

 Evlilik ilişkisi, bireylerin psikolojik ve duygusal sağlığını derinden etkileyen karmaşık bir ilişki türüdür. Evlilik doyumu ise çiftlerin birbirleriyle olan etkileşimlerinin kalitesini belirleyen kritik bir ölçüt olarak ele alınmaktadır. Evlilik doyumu üzerinde etkisi olduğu belirlenen bağlanma stilleri, bireylerin yakın ilişkilerinde benimsedikleri tutum ve davranışları şekillendirmekte, kaygı ve kaçınma boyutları evlilik doyumunun anlamlı yordayıcıları olarak ele alınmaktadır. Ancak bu iki değişken arasındaki ilişkide aracı değişkenlerin neler olduğunu belirlemek için yeni çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır. Bu amaçla, mevcut araştırmada evli bireylerde bağlanma stilleri ile evlilik doyumu arasındaki ilişkide ilişkilerde bilişsel çarpıtmaların aracı rolü incelenmiştir. İlişkisel tarama modele uygun olarak gerçekleştirilen bu araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 210 152 kadın ve 58 erkek evli birey oluşturmaktadır. Yakın İlişkilerde Yaşantılar Ölçeği, Evlilik Yaşamı Ölçeği ve İlişkilerde Bilişsel Çarpıtmalar Ölçeği ile Kişisel Bilgi Formu veri toplama aracı olarak kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda kaçınma ve kaygılı bağlanma ile evlilik doyumu arasında negatif yönlü anlamlı ilişkiler tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, bağlanma stillerinde hem kaçınma hem de kaygılı bağlanma alt boyutlarının bilişsel çarpıtmaların toplam puanı, gerçekçi olmayan ilişki beklentisi ile yakınlıktan kaçınma alt boyutlarının pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı ilişkili olduğu görülmüştür. Son olarak, yakınlıktan kaçınmanın aracılık rolünün kaygılı bağlanma ile evlilik doyumu arasındaki ilişkide istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu belirlenmiştir.
