Abstract

Romantic beliefs are one of the important correlates of relationship expectancies. For that reason, unrealistic beliefs and expectations about relationships can harm relationship functionality. These kinds of dysfunctional beliefs about relationships seem to be in line with sexist beliefs which depict (romantic) female partner as weak and as in a need for protection. The aim of the study was to investigate the relations between sexism and dysfunctional romantic beliefs. One hundred and fifty students (102 females and 48 males) of a private university participated to the study. Participants completed "Romantic Beliefs Scale", "Ambivalent Sexism Inventory", "Ambivalence toward Men Inventory" and Demographic Information Form. Findings showed that benevolent sexist beliefs, but not hostile ones, towards both men and women predicted dysfunctional romantic beliefs. Findings were discussed in relation with gender and relationship experience.

Özet

Romantik inançlar, kişinin ilişkiden beklentilerini belirlemekte ve bu beklentilerin gerçekçi olmaması ilişkinin işlevselliğini bozabilmektedir. İşlevsel olmayan romantik inançlar, kadınların zayıf ve korunmaya muhtaç olduğuna dair cinsiyetçi inançlarla paralellik göstermektedir. Bu doğrultuda, bu araştırmada üniversite öğrencilerinin işlevsel olmayan romantik inançlarıyla cinsiyetçiliğin ilişkisini incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma, bir vakıf üniversitesinin çeşitli bölümlerinde okuyan 102 kadın ve 48 erkek olmak üzere toplam 150 katılımcıyla yürütülmüştür. Katılımcılardan, "Romantik İnançlar Ölçeği", "Çelişik Duygulu Cinsiyetçilik Ölçeği" ve "Erkeklere İlişkin Çelişik Duygular Ölçeği" ile birlikte demografik bilgi formunu doldurmaları istenmiştir. Çalışmanın bulguları hem erkeklere hem de kadınlara yönelik korumacı tutumların gerçekçi olmayan romantik inançları pozitif yönde yordadığını göstermiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, cinsiyet ve ilişki deneyimi değişkenleriyle ilişkilendirilerek tartışılmıştır.
