Abstract
“Çiftlerin uyum düzeyleri ile duygusal zekâ düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi” konulu bu araştırma 125’i kadın 125’i erkek olmak üzere 250 evli çift üzerinde yapılmıştır. Araştırmada katılımcılara Bar-On Duygusal Zekâ Ölçeği, Çift Uyum Ölçeği ve Demografik Bilgi Formu uygulanmıştır. Bar-on duygusal zeka ölçeğinin 15 alt boyutu olan; iyimserlik, mutluluk, dürtü kontrolü, strese dayanıklılık, esneklik, gerçekçilik, problem çözme, sosyal sorumluluk, kişiler arası ilişkiler, empati, bağımsızlık, kendini gerçekleme, kendine saygı, kararlılık, duygusal benlik bilinci ve çift uyum ölçeğinin 4 alt boyutu olan; fikir birliği, memnuniyet, duygusal ifadelendirme ve çiftlerin uyumu ile demografik özelliklerin ilişkisi incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın bulgularında evli eşlerin çift uyum düzeyi ile duygusal zekâ düzeyi arasında anlamlı ilişki olduğu görülmektedir. Duygusal zekânın iyimserlik alt boyutu ile evlilik uyumunun fikir birliği, doyum, duygusal ifadelendirme boyutları arasında düşük düzeyde ilişkiler olduğu görülmektedir. Duygusal zekânın mutluluk alt boyutu, evlilik uyumunun fikir birliği, doyum, duygusal ifadelendirme ve uyum boyutları ile orta düzeyde ilişkili bulunmuştur. Çiftlerin duygusal zeka ve çift uyum düzeyinde cinsiyete göre anlamlı bir farklılık olmadığı görülmektedir. Ayrıca çiftlerin, yaşamını geçirdiği yer, çalışma durumu, çocuk sahibi olup olmama durumu, eğitim düzeyi, evlilik biçimi gibi demografik özellikler duygusal zekâ ve çift uyumunun alt boyutları açısından nasıl farklılaştığı incelenmiştir. Bulgular literatür ışığında tartışılmış ve önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
