Abuse in romantic relationships, in a general sense, includes provision of power and control by means of physical, psychological and sexual senses by couples who are in an emotional relationship. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between young adults’ perceived abuse in romantic relationships and their self-esteem and contact disturbances. Work group of the study consisted of a total of 255 young adults including 182 women (71.4%) and 73 men (28.6%) whose age ranged between 21 and 35. Considering relationship status in the work group, it was specified that 91 of young adults did not have any relationships, 67 of them had a relationship, 23 of them were engaged, 72 of them were married and 2 of them were divorced. Research data was collected through Romantic Relationships Assessment Scale, Contact Disturbances Scale and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. For the analysis of data obtained, Pearson Moment Correlation technique and multiple linear regression analysis were used. When research results were examined, it was found that full contact disturbances predicted perceived abuse in romantic relationships significantly in positively and self-esteem predicted perceived abuse significantly negatively.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetRomantik ilişkilerde yaşanan istismar en genel anlamda duygusal beraberliği olan çiftlerin birbirlerine karşı fiziksel, psikolojik ve cinsel anlamda baskı yoluyla güç ve kontrol sağlamasıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı genç yetişkinlerin romantik ilişkilerinde algıladıkları istismar ile temas engelleri ve benlik saygısı arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektedir.

The Life Course

Marriage is widely thought to confer mental health benefits, but little is known about how this apparent benefit may vary across the life course. Early marriage, which is nonnormative, could have no, or even negative, mental health consequences for young adults. Using survey data from waves 1 and 3 of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health ( n = 11,695), I find that married young adults exhibit levels of psychological distress that are similar to those of young adults in any kind of romantic relationship. Married and engaged young adults also report lower frequency of drunkenness than those who are not in a romantic relationship. Married young adults, especially those who first married at ages 22 to 26, report higher life satisfaction than those in other type of romantic relationships,those in no romantic relationship, and those who married prior to age 22. Explanations for these findings are examined, and their implications are discussed.

AbstractThe study verified self-esteem, extraversion, neuroticism and health as predictors of subjectively-assessed quality of life. The sample included 109 adolescents (69 healthy adolescents and 40 adolescents with upper respiratory tract disease). The research tools used were WHOQOL-BREF (WHO, 1998), Rosenberg´s self-esteem scale (Rosenberg, 1965) and NEO-FFI personality questionnaire (Hřebíčková et al., 2002). The results were processed using the multiple linear regression analysis stepwise method. Health was not found to be a predictor of subjectively-assessed quality of life in the research sample. Self-esteem was found to be a predictor of psychological (48% of variance) and environmental (25% of variance) quality of life. Neuroticism was confirmed as a predictor only for physical quality of life (8% of variance). Extraversion was established as a universal predictor for all the aspects of quality of life measured: physical (20% of variance), psychological (8% of variance) and environmental (10% of variance).

The sample of the study was determined by stratification sampling method and 310 students were included in the sample. In the collection of the data The questionnaire consisting of the questions about the socio-demographic characteristics of the students and the Social Control Scale Toward Engage In Premarital Romantic Relationship were used Descriptive statistics, t test, ANOVA and Kruskal Wallis test were used in the evaluation of the data. 84.2% of the students participated in the study were women, 15.8% were male, 55.5% of them were in the nursing department, 26,8% midwifery and 17,7% nutrition-dietetics department and 56.1% of them were in their third year and 43,9% fourth year. 50.6% of the students stated that they stayed in the dorm, and 50.3% said that they had flirt.The students who participated in the survey that the average score of in the Social Control Scale Toward Engage In Premarital Romantic Relationship was 34.44±9.35. There were  significant relationships among the total scale scores of university students  and their gender, the class and department they  attend, the presence of their dating relations, the longest living place and the economic situation of the family (p<0.05).According to the average score of the university students' social control scale are slightly above the average the social control perceptions. It is seen that social control was higher in women, those who attended in the nutrition-dietetics department, and those who are the third-grade students, whose family has the equivalent to the income expense, who live in the longest time in the town and who do not have dating relations. For this reason, training and counseling related to gender roles should be provided in counseling centers in universities. Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.  ÖzetBu araştırma hemşirelik, ebelik ve beslenme-diyetetik bölümü üçüncü ve dördüncü sınıf öğrencilerinin evlilik öncesi yaşanan romantik ilişkilerinde ebeveynlerinin ve çevrenin kontrolünü hissedip hissetmediklerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini 2015-2016 eğitim-öğretim yılında Adnan Menderes Üniversitesi Aydın Sağlık Yüksekokulu Hemşirelik, Ebelik, Beslenme- Diyetetik Bölümleri’nde öğrenim gören 1530 öğrenci oluşturmuştur.

Öğrencilerin %50,6’sı yurtta kaldığını, %50,3’ü flörtünün olduğunu dile getirmiştir.Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin Evlilik Öncesinde Romantik İlişki Yaşamada Sosyal Kontrol Ölçeği’nden aldıkları ortalama puan 34.44±9.35 olarak belirlenmiştir. Üniversite öğrencilerinin ölçekten aldıkları toplam puanlar ile cinsiyetleri, okudukları sınıf ve bölüm, flörtlerinin varlığı, en uzun süre yaşanılan yer ve ailenin ekonomik durumu arasında anlamlı ilişkiler saptanmıştır (p<0,05).Üniversite öğrencilerinin sosyal kontrol ölçeğinden aldıkları toplam puan ortalamasına göre, sosyal kontrol algıları ortalamanın biraz üzerindedir. Sosyal kontrolün, kadın olan, beslenme-diyetetik bölümünde okuyan, üçünü sınıf öğrencisi olan, ailesinin gelir giderine denk olan, en uzun süre kasabada yaşayan ve flörtü olmayan öğrencilerde daha yüksek olduğu görülmektedir. Bu nedenle üniversitelerdeki danışmanlık merkezlerinde toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine ilişkin eğitimler yapılmalı ve danışmanlıklar verilmelidir.

The Impact

The present study was aimed to explore the impact of gratitude and forgiveness in predicting subjective well-being in young adults. The sample for the study included 300 participants between the ages of 18 and 24 years who were conveniently selected from a university in Karachi city. Gratitude Questionnaire (McCullough et al., 2002), Heartland Forgiveness Scale (Thompson et al., 2005) and Flourishing Scale (Diener et al., 2010) were used as the measures to collect data. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed gratitude to be nonsignificant predictor of subjective well-being, whereas, forgiveness was found to be a significant predictor of subjective well-being . Further, weak positive relation of gratitude with subjective well-being (r = .14), and forgiveness with subjective well-being (r = .34) has been found. However, the explanatory power of this model was revealed to be significant (R2 = .12), suggesting that the variables share an important association which needs further extensive study. This study implies that forgiveness and gratitude may be effectively used in psychotherapy and substantially integrated in general counselling for young adult clients.

Relationship Importance

In the current study, we provided initial evidence for the factor structure and validity of the Brief Measure of Relationship Importance, a new measure of young adults’ beliefs about the values and costs of being in romantic relationships. Based on exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, this measure consisted of two subscales: relationship desire (two items; viewing relationships as important and satisfying parts of one’s life) and relationship dismissal (four items; viewing relationships as less desirable or valuable for one’s life). Relationship desire and dismissal scores were associated with participants’ happiness with their romantic experiences, relationship satisfaction, having experienced relationship cycling, marriage intentions, and general interest in being in a romantic relationship. Therefore, we concluded that the Brief Measure of Relationship Importance provides a reliable and valid assessment of young adults’ romantic relationship attitudes. We discuss how our measure can be used in future research on young adults’ romantic relationship development.

This research will analyse the use of Instagram from the perspective of uses and gratifications theory. The goal of the study was to know the motives for using Instagram and the role of individual differences in relation to the intrusion of Instagram (understood as an attachment and excessive participation in that social network). An online survey was carried out in which 401 people between 18 and 36 years old (73.1% women) residing in Spain who had an Instagram profile participated. The questionnaire contained several self-report scales to measure the motives for using Instagram, intrusion, and other individual differences measures (self-esteem, social comparison and envy). The results indicated that the main reasons for using Instagram were social interaction, creativity and documentation, and escape and self-promotion were the least relevant motives for our respondents. However, through a multiple linear regression analysis it was observed that the motives that predicted a greater intrusion of Instagram were the search for self-promotion and escape. Finally, it was observed that the orientation towards social comparison and self-esteem were associated with greater intrusion. Our study contributes to the literature on the study of social networks and, in particular, on the predictive factors that explain a more problematic use of Instagram, taking into account motivational variables and individual differences. In this way, our research clarifies the knowledge about the processes underlying the use of Instagram and introduces the concept of intrusion in uses and gratification research. Resumen La presente investigación analiza el uso de Instagram desde la perspectiva de la teoría de los usos y gratificaciones. El objetivo del estudio es conocer los motivos de uso de Instagram y el papel de las diferencias individuales en relación con la intrusión de Instagram (entendida como un apego y una participación excesiva en dicha red social). Para ello, se llevó a cabo una encuesta online en la que participaron 401 personas de entre 18 y 36 años (73,1% mujeres) residentes en España que disponían de perfil en Instagram. El cuestionario diseñado contenía varias escalas para medir los motivos de uso de Instagram, la intrusión y otras medidas de diferencias individuales (autoestima, comparación social y envidia). Los resultados indicaron que las principales razones para utilizar Instagram eran la interacción social, la creatividad y la documentación, siendo los motivos menos representados el escape y la autopromoción. Ahora bien, mediante un análisis de regresión lineal múltiple se observó que los motivos que predecían una mayor intrusión de Instagram eran la búsqueda de la autopromoción y el escape. Finalmente, se observó que la orientación a la comparación social y la autoestima se asociaban a una mayor intrusión. Nuestro estudio contribuye a la bibliografía sobre el estudio de las redes sociales y, en particular, sobre los factores predictores que explican un uso más problemático de Instagram teniendo en cuenta variables motivacionales y de diferencias individuales. De este modo, se esclarece el conocimiento sobre los procesos subyacentes al uso de Instagram y se introduce el concepto de intrusión en la investigación sobre los usos y gratificaciones de las redes sociales.

Despite the consistent, high use of Facebook among adolescents, few studies have examined how adolescents use Facebook when forming and maintaining romantic relationships. Based on the Internet-enhanced self-disclosure hypothesis, romantic relationship–oriented Facebook behaviors are likely to relate to adolescent self-esteem. The goal of this study is to examine romantic relationship–oriented Facebook behaviors (private exchanges, monitoring, public displays, and oversharing information) between adolescents and their romantic partners or crushes, and then test how these behaviors relate to self-esteem. Data come from an online survey of adolescents from the Midwestern United States who are current Facebook users. Results demonstrated that the most common romantic relationship–oriented Facebook behavior was monitoring. Regression analyses revealed that monitoring predicted lower adolescent self-esteem. Relationship satisfaction moderated the association between self-esteem and both private exchanges and oversharing information. Implications for adolescent romantic relationship development are discussed.

The Relationship

Research has suggested that individuals lower in self-esteem restrain from fully valuing romantic relationships because of relatively low confidence in positive regard from their partners (i.e., positive reflected appraisals). MacDonald and Jessica (2006) provided evidence that in Indonesia, where family plays an important role in mate selection, low self-esteem also leads to doubts regarding family approval of the relationship that, in turn, places an additional constraint on fully valuing a romantic relationship. In the current research, Study 1 replicated these findings, showing that the positive relationship between self-esteem and value placed on a romantic relationship was mediated by both reflected appraisals and approval from a partner’s family in Indonesia but only reflected appraisals in Canada. In Study 2, the relationship between self-esteem and relationship value was mediated by reflected appraisals and approval from own, but not partner’s, family in Japan whereas only reflected appraisals played a mediating role in Australia. These data suggest that in cultures involving family in mate selection, placing full value on romantic relationships may be contingent on confidence in both reflected appraisals and family approval of the relationship.

Social science research has recently begun to focus on stalking and other forms of intrusive contact occurring among adolescents and young adults. This article presents results from a survey of 681 undergraduates about their experiences with stalking or other forms of intrusive contact occurring after the end of a dating or romantic relationship. Twenty percent of the respondents had been the target of intrusive contact, 8% had initiated intrusive contact, and 1% had been the target of intrusive contact after one relationship and had initiated intrusive contact after another. More females than males were the target of intrusive contact; however, there were no sex differences associated with initiating intrusive contact. About 20% of the respondents had feared for their safety during the intrusive contact. Thirty-one percent of the respondents described the intrusive contact as having a decidedly negative influence on either their subsequent dating relationships or their lives in general.
