Çiftlerin Aşka İlişkin Tutumlarının Lee'nin Çok Boyutlu Aşk Biçimleri Kapsamında İncelenmesi

Bu araştırmada birbirini izleyen iki ayrı çalışma yapılmıştır. Birinci çalışmada, Lee’nin aşk biçimlerini (tutkulu, sahiplenici, mantıklı, özgeci, oyun gibi, arkadaşça) temel alan Aşka ‹lişkin Tutumlar Ölçeği: Kısa Formunun (LAS) Türk örneklemi üzerinde geçerliği ve güvenirliği incelenmiştir. ‹kinci çalışmada, bu ölçek kullanılarak, duygusal ilişkilerini resmi hale getiren çiftler ile ilişkilerini şört düzeyinde sürdüren çiftlerin aşka ilişkin tutumları karşılaştırılmıştır. Ayrıca, bu çalışmada farklı aşk biçimlerinin, ilişkiden mutlu olma, ilişkiye önem verme ve ilişkide sorun yaşama ile ilişkisi incelenmiştir. Birinci çalışma, LAS’ın Türk örneklemi üzerinde yeterli düzeyde geçerlik ve güvenirlik değerlerine sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. İkinci çalışmada, bu çalışma için uyarlanmış olan LAS, şört ilişkisi olan 53 çifte ve sözlü–nişanlı ya da evli olan 54 çifte uygulanmıştır. Yapılan analizler, erkeklerin kadınlara göre daha fazla özgeci aşk biçimiyle ilişkilerine bağlı olduklarını ve diğer aşk biçimleri yönünden kadınlarla erkekler arasında fark olmadığını göstermiştir. Ayrıca bulgular, aşk biçimlerinin ilişki türüne göre farklılaştığını ortaya koymuştur. Şört ilişkisi olan çiftlerin evli ya da sözlü nişanlı olan çiftlere göre ilişkilerine daha fazla sahiplenici biçimle bağlandıkları bulunmuştur. Çiftlerin mutlu olmaları ile özgeci ve tutkulu aşk biçimleri arasında olumlu; aşkı oyun gibi görme arasında olumsuz yönde ilişki bulunmuştur. İlişkide sorun yaşama ile özgeci ve tutkulu aşk biçimleri arasında olumsuz; aşkı oyun gibi görme ve sahiplenici aşk biçimi arasında ise anlamlı olumlu ilişki bulunmuştur.

A Study of Couples' Love Attitudes Within Lee's Multidimensional Love Styles Framework

In this research, two consecutive studies were conducted. In the first study, the reliability and validity of Love Attitudes Scale-LAS: Short Form developed by Hendrick, Hendrick ve Dicke and based on Lee’s love styles (eros, mania, pragma, agape, ludus, storge) were examined in the Turkish sample. In the second study, the love attitudes of the couples who are engaged or married and the couples who are dating were compared by using the same scale. Moreover, in this study, the relationship between different love styles and satisfaction with the relationship, giving importance to it, and having troubles with it were examined. Study one was demostrated that LAS has satisfactory level of reliability and validity on Turkish samples. In the second study, 53 dating couples and 54 engaged/married couples were given LAS adopted for this research. The analyses have yielded that, men display agape love style in their relationships more than women while there is no difference between men and women with regard to other love styles. Furthermore, the results showed that the love styles were differentiating according to the type of the relationship. It was found that dating couples display mania love style more than engaged/married couples. It was revealed that relationship satisfaction was positively correlated with agape and eros love styles while relation satisfaction was negatively correlated with ludus love styles. It was found that there was a negative correlation between having trouble with relationship and agape and eros love style while there was a positive correlation between having trouble with relationship and ludus and mania love style.
