TI  - Close relationship belief and self-change as predictors of romantic relationship quality in university students
AB  - The aim of this study was to determine the predictive power of university students’
relationship beliefs and self-change on the relationship quality of their romantic
relationships. The sample was composed of 361 university students, 212 women (58%)
and 149 men (41%), enrolled at different state universities in three metropolises and
currently involved in a romantic relationship. The Relationship Beliefs Questionnaire,
The Turkish Version of the Relational Self-Change Scale, Relationship Quality Scale, and
Personal Information Form were used in the study. Data were analyzed by multiple
linear regression analysis. SPSS 23.0 packet programs were utilized in data analysis.
According to the findings, of the factors of close relationship beliefs, “We must be
completely open and honest with each other,” “We must do everything together,”
“We must meet all needs of each other,” and “Romantic idealism” significantly
predicted the social support subscale of relationship quality; “We must meet all needs
of each other” significantly predicted the conflict subscale, and “We must do
everything together,” “We must be able to change each other,” and “Romantic
idealism” significantly predicted the depth subscale. Of the factors of self-change, selfexpansion and self-contraction significantly predicted the social support subscale of
romantic relationship quality while self-expansion, self-contraction and selfadulteration significantly predicted the conflict and the depth subscales.
