The effects of the cognitive-behavioral marriage enrichment program on the dysfunctional attitudes of couples

Bu çalışmanın amacı bilişsel-davranışçı evlilik ilişkisini geliştirme programının çiftlerin fonksiyonel olmayan tutumlarına etkisini araştırmaktır. Fonksiyonel Olmayan Tutumlar Ölçeği kullanılarak belirlenen kırk katılımcı random yöntemiyle deney ve kontrol grubuna atanmıştır. Kovaryans analizi sonuçları deney ve kontrol grubundaki katılımcıların fonksiyonel olmayan tutumları arasında anlamlı fark olduğunu göstermektedir. Bilişsel-davranışçı evlilik ilişkisini geliştirme programının çiftlerin fonksiyonel olmayan tutumlarını anlamlı ölçüde azalttığı söylenebilir.
