Abstract

Conflict is a common occurrence in marital relationships, and partners display certain behaviors in the event of conflict. One of these is constructive communication. According to this behavior pattern, both partners try to establish contact and constructively handle the conflict. Another behavior pattern is the demand-withdrawal behavior pattern. The main characteristic of this pattern is that in case of conflict, one of the partners attempts to establish more contact while the other partner takes a state of passive inaction to avoid contact. Previous studies showed that adult attachment styles affect behaviors in romantic relationships. Purpose: This study examined the effect of adult attachment styles on the demand-withdrawal behavior pattern. In addition, the concepts of distress intolerance and power perception were also examined as mediating factors. Method: The Communication Patterns Questionnaire, Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised Scale, Distress Intolerance Index, Cognitive-Behavioral Avoidance Scale and Sense of Power Scale were used to collect data. The data group of the study consisted of 242 married individuals (179 female and 63 male). Findings: Findings showed that anxious attachment had a negative direct effect on perceived power, a positive direct effect on distress intolerance, a positive direct effect on both demanding and withdrawing behaviors, and a negative direct effect on constructive communication. Avoidant attachment had a negative direct effect on perceived power but no effect on distress intolerance. Avoidant attachment had a positive direct effect on demanding behavior but no effect on withdrawing behavior. Again, avoidant attachment had a negative constructive communication. Furthermore, power perception played a partial mediating role between attachment and constructive communication, while intolerance of distress had no mediating effect. Power perception and distress intolerance did not play a mediating role between attachment and demand-withdrawal behavior. Conclusion: The findings were discussed in the light of the existing literature, and preventive and developmental suggestions were made to improve the quality of romantic relationships.

Özet

Evlilik ilişkilerinde çatışma sıklıkla yaşanan bir durumdur ve yaşanan çatışma durumunda partnerlerin gösterdiği belli davranış biçimleri mevcuttur. Bunlardan bir tanesi yapıcı iletişimdir. Bu davranış biçimine göre partnerlerden her ikisi de temas kurmak için çaba harcamakta ve çatışmayı yapıcı bir yolla ele almaktadır. Bir diğer davranış biçimi ise talep etme geri çekilme davranış örüntüsüdür. Çatışma durumunda partnerlerden birisinin daha fazla temas kurmak için girişimde bulunması, diğer partnerin ise temastan kaçınmak için pasif eylemsizlik durumuna geçmesi bu örüntünün temel özelliğidir. Literatürde yetişkin bağlanma stillerinin romantik ilişkilerdeki davranış biçimlerini etkilediğine dair araştırmalar bulunmaktadır. Amaç: Bu çalışmada yetişkin bağlanma stillerinin talep etme geri çekilme davranış örüntüsüne etkisi incelenmiştir. Ayrıca sıkıntıya toleranssızlık ve güç algısı kavramları da aracı etken olarak incelenmiştir. Yöntem: Çalışmada veri toplamak amacıyla İletişim Şekilleri Ölçeği, Yakın İlişkilerde Yaşantılar Envanteri-II, Sıkıntıya Toleranssızlık Ölçeği ve İlişkilerde Güç Algısı Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın veri grubunu 242 evli birey (179 kadın ve 63 erkek) oluşturmaktadır. Bulgular: Çalışmanın bulgularına göre kaygılı bağlanmanın güç algısı üzerinde negatif doğrudan, sıkıntıya toleranssızlık üzerinde pozitif doğrudan, hem talep etme hem de geri çekilme davranışı üzerinde pozitif doğrudan, yapıcı iletişim üzerinde ise negatif doğrudan etkisi bulunmuştur. Kaçınan bağlanmanın ise güç algısı üzerinde negatif doğrudan etkisi bulunurken sıkıntıya toleranssızlık üzerinde bir etkisi bulunmamıştır. Kaçınan bağlanmanın talep etme davranışı üzerinde pozitif doğrudan etkisi bulunurken geri çekilme davranışı üzerinde bir etkisi bulunmamıştır. Yine kaçınan bağlanmanın yapıcı iletişim üzerinde negatif doğrudan etkisi bulunmuştur. Ayrıca güç algısı, bağlanma ile yapıcı iletişim arasında kısmi aracı rol oynarken, sıkıntıya toleranssızlığın herhangi bir aracı etkisi bulunmamıştır. Güç algısı ve sıkıntıya toleranssızlık ise bağlanma ve talep etme geri çekilme davranışı arasında aracı bir rol oynamamıştır. Sonuç:  Çalışmadan elde edilen bulgular mevcut literatür eşliğinde tartışılmış ve romantik ilişkilerin kalitesini arttırmaya yönelik önleyici ve geliştirici önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
