Abstract

Relationships are an important component of human mental health. In this study, the relationships between romantic relationship satisfaction and basic psychological needs, mindfulness, relationship quality, and attribution styles in university students were examined within the framework of the proposed model of Satisfaction in Romantic Relationships. The study sample consisted of 1057 university students from Türkiye. According to the results of the study, basic psychological needs predict Romantic Relationship Satisfaction. The relationship between basic psychological needs and romantic relationship satisfaction is mediated by causality-responsibility attribution styles, mindfulness, and relationship quality. Relationship quality and mindfulness mediate the relationship between causality-responsibility attribution styles and romantic relationships satisfaction. Mindfulness predicts romantic relationships satisfaction. In the relationship between mindfulness and romantic relationship satisfaction, the relationship quality mediates for the I.Structural Model, and the mediating effect is not significant for the II.Structural Model.
