Associations of Quality of Family Communication and Well-Being with Marital Attitudes among Turkish Emerging Adults

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between Turkish emerging adults’ marital attitudes, and their quality of family communication and well-being. The study participants consisted of 386 (266 female, 120 male) never-married emerging adults, selected by the method of convenience sampling. Hierarchical multiple linear regression technique was used for data analysis. The results revealed that emerging adults' quality of family communication and well-being were both predictors of marital attitudes. A higher level of well-being and quality of family communication were associated with more positive attitudes toward marriage.
