posted on 2018-10-25, 11:41 authored by Sevinc CirakClose relationships play an integral role in our lives. Problems associated with close relationships
could have social and psychological effects on individuals. Research has documented that
disruption of a relationship is considered as one of the major life stressors.
In this context, the present research aims to identify differences between the intact marriages and
those which ended in divorce, in Turkey, in relation to problems experienced during premarital level and marital level. Furthermore, this research has examined the perceived problem solving
behaviour of the currently married and divorced individuals with respect to premarital and
marital problems experienced. Retrospective survey interviewing was adopted as a data
collection strategy in order to study self-reported problems and problem-solving behaviour by
respondents. It has been hoped that the findings from the present study would be beneficial for
relationship enhancement programs to be developed in Turkey. [Continues.]
