Background: The main aim of this study is to examine the relationship between addiction in romantic relationships and attachment styles of young people.
Methods: A total of 456 university students aged between 18-24 years participated in this descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational study. Demographic Information Form, Addiction in Romantic Relationships Scale and Three Dimensional Attachment Style Scale were used as data collection tools. Independent groups t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Tukey post hoc test and Pearson correlation analysis tests were used to analyse the data. The statistical significance level was accepted as 0.05
Results: Of the 456 young people who took part in the study, 96.1% (n=438) were female and 3.9% (n=8) were male. The majority of participants were aged 20-21 years (41.4%). Although there were more undergraduate students (71.7%), most participants were in their first year (43.4%). More than half of the participants were in a romantic relationship (56.8%). As a result of the study, the mean dependency in romantic relationships of participants was determined as x̄=2.03±0.654. The mean of self-commitment in romantic relationships was found to be low (x̄=1.79±.0626) and the mean of obsession was found to be high (x̄=2.29±0.872). In addition, the findings show that the majority of participants have a secure attachment style. In terms of gender, women had higher levels of anxious-ambivalent attachment. Participants in romantic relationships had higher levels of dependency, self-commitment, deprivation and obsessive-compulsive attachment in romantic relationships.
Conclusions: It was also found that participants in romantic relationships had a secure attachment style, while participants without romantic relationships had an anxious-ambivalent attachment style. |
