Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, özsever kişilik ve cinsel davranışlar arasındaki ilişkiyi ve bu ilişkinin algılanan aile tutumlarıyla bağını araştırmaktır. Bu çalışma ek olarak, özsever kişiliğin yakın duygusal ilişkilerdeki rolünü de irdelemektedir. Yöntem: Çalışmaya, yaşları 19-38 arasında değişen, yaş ortalaması 25.85 olan 267 genç yetişkin katılmıştır. Sonuçlar: Algılanan aile tutumlarının etkisi kontrol edilerek, özseverlik, romantik ilişkiler ve cinsellik arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek için hiyerarşik analizler uygulanmıştır. Analizlere göre, özseverliğin romantik ilişkiler ve cinsellik ile anlamlı bir bağı vardır. Özsever kişilik özellikleri gösteren bireylerin cinsel onaylayıcılığa yüksek düzeyde eğilimlerinin olduğu gözlenmiştir. Ayrıca özseverlik ilişkide kendine güven, ilişkiyi ayarlama, içsel ilişki kontrolü, ilişki girişkenliği ve ilişki kaygısı değişkenlerini öngörmede önemli bir etken olarak bulunmuştur. Ruh sağlığı uzmanlarının özsever kişilerle yakın ilişkilerde cinsel davranışların ve anne-baba kontrolünün yakın ilişki üzerindeki etkilerinin çalışılması gerekir.
