Özet:

 Understanding marital beliefs during emerging adulthood is notably important as it might help emerging adults create a path in this unique life period to form a marital union. However, the affective factors shaping emerging adults marriage beliefs are multifarious and merit further attention. Therefore, the ultimate goal of this research was to elucidate whether the family of origins quality and marriage age of parents were predictors of emerging adults ideal marriage age and the ideal amount of time needed to get to know a partner before marriage. The study group consisted of 500 unmarried university students and graduates in Turkey. A multivariate regression analysis was performed to analyze the data. The findings revealed that the marital timing of emerging adults was linked to a variety of familial factors. The ideal marital age of emerging adults was significantly predicted by the mothers marital age, parents marital happiness and age. Later mother marriage age was correlated with later ideal age of marriage. Higher levels of perceived happiness in parents marriage was associated with earlier ideal age of marriage. Additionally, the mothers marriage age and emerging adults relationship status and age were significant predictors of the ideal amount of time to get to know a partner before marriage. Later mothers marriage age and having a romantic relationship was linked to a longer time to get to know a partner before marriage. Being older was also related to a shorter time to get to know a partner before marriage and the later ideal age of marriage. The ideal marital age is around 26 years old. Only 5 of emerging adults feel ready to get married. More than two-thirds of emerging adults do not want their marriage to resemble their parents marriage. Besides, most emerging adults give priority to a career in their life plans.

 Beliren yetişkinlik döneminde evliliğe yönelik inançları anlamak, beliren yetişkinlerin bu benzersiz yaşam döneminde evlilik birliği oluşturmak için bir yol oluşturmalarına yardımcı olabileceğinden önemlidir. Bununla birlikte, beliren yetişkinlerin evlilik inançlarını şekillendiren faktörler çok çeşitlidir ve daha fazla araştırma yapılması gerekmektedir. Bu nedenle, bu araştırmanın nihai amacı, kök aile kalitesinin ve ebeveynlerin evlilik yaşının, beliren yetişkinlerin ideal evlilik yaşının ve evlenmeden önce partneri tanımak için gereken ideal sürenin yordayıcıları olup olmadığını belirlemektir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Türkiyedeki evli olmayan 500 üniversite öğrencisi ve mezunu oluşturmuştur. Verilerin analizinde çok değişkenli regresyon analizi tekniği kullanılmıştır. Bulgular, beliren yetişkinlerin evlilik zamanlamasının çeşitli ailesel faktörlerle bağlantılı olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Beliren yetişkinlerin ideal evlilik yaşı, annenin evlilik yaşı, ebeveynlerin evlilik mutluluğu ve yaşı tarafından önemli düzeyde yordanmıştır. Annenin daha geç yaşta evlenmesi ile beliren yetişkinlerin ideal evlilik yaşının daha geç olması arasında ilişki bulunmuştur. Ebeveynlerin evliliğinde daha yüksek algılanan mutluluk seviyeleri ile daha erken ideal evlilik yaşı ilişkili bulunmuştur. Ek olarak, annenin evlilik yaşı ve beliren yetişkinlerin ilişki durumu ve yaşı, evlenmeden önce bir partneri tanımak için gereken ideal sürenin önemli yordayıcılarıdır. Annenin daha geç evlenmesi ve romantik bir ilişkiye sahip olmak, evlenmeden önce bir partneri tanımanın daha uzun sürmesi ile ilişkili bulunmuştur. Yaş arttıkça evlilik öncesi partneri tanımak için ideal sürenin kısaldığı ve ideal evlilik yaşının arttığı belirlenmiştir. İdeal evlilik yaşı 26 yaş civarındadır. Beliren yetişkinlerin sadece 5i evlenmeye hazır hissetmektedir. Beliren yetişkinlerin üçte ikisinden fazlası, evliliklerinin ebeveynlerinin evliliğine benzemesini istememektedir. Ayrıca, beliren yetişkinlerin çoğu, yaşam planlarında kariyere öncelik vermektedir.
