The main aim of this dissertation is to examine the associations of subjective well-being with online infidelity tendency, gender roles (i.e., masculinity and femininity), and marital satisfaction in married individuals. 319 nonclinical married individuals completed measures of a demographic information form, Subjective Well-Being Scale (SWS), Infidelity Tendency Scale (ITS), Bem Sex-Role Inventory-Short Version (BSRI), and Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS). Separate multivariate regression analyses were conducted for subjective well-being, online infidelity tendency, masculinity, femininity, and marital satisfaction to investigate the unique associations proposed in the hypotheses. Several mediation and moderation analyses were performed via Bootstrapping sampling method to test underlying mechanisms for the associations between study variables and subjective well-being. Results provided considerable support for the associations of study variables in the current sample of married individuals. Masculinity and femininity were found to be positively associated with subjective well-being. Online infidelity tendency was found to be negatively associated with subjective well-being. While the association of online infidelity tendency with masculinity was non-significant, higher online infidelity tendency was found to be associated with lower femininity. Marital satisfaction was positively correlated with subjective well-being. Online infidelity tendency was found to be as a mediator between femininity and subjective well-being. However, the indirect association between masculinity and subjective well-being through online infidelity tendency was non-significant. Additionally, marital satisfaction partially moderated the relationship between online infidelity tendency and subjective well-being. The findings were discussed in accordance with the relevant literature together with their implications for clinical practices and future studies.

The Interplay between self compassion, attachment security & relational attributions on marital functioning
Terzi, Hilal; Sümer, Nebi; Department of Psychology (2015)
This thesis aims to investigate the dyadic effects of adult attachment orientations, self-compassion, and relational attributions on marital functioning (i.e., marital satisfaction and conflict) with a double-mediation model. It is expected that couples’ marital functioning will be predicted by a set of two sequential links from adult attachment dimensions to self-compassion and then to relational attributions. In this study, spouses’ attachment related anxiety was expected to predict their self-compassion ...

Testing the vulnerability-stress-adaptation model in Turkey: a dyadic model
Sakmar, Elçin; Fışıloğlu, Hürol; Department of Psychology (2015)

To that end, it was planned to conduct the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) to investigate not only the association among person’s own dimensions (actor effect) but also the association between person’s own a...
Emotional reactions to infidelity: examining the roles of self-compassion, forgiveness, rumination and cognitive appraisal

Moreover, the nature of the gender differences in reactions to infidelity was searched by testing the proposed model with invariance across gender. The participants of the study were 431 offended partners in their dating relationship that were reached by a purposive sampling method. Posi...
