Year: 1994
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: In this study, differences between individuals involved in couple- and family-initiated marriages were investigated with respect to educational background, relationship duration, context and nature of interactions with partner, degree of perceived disclosure, and ratings of different reasons for marriage. Questionnaires were administered to a sample of Turkish men and women who applied for a marriage license for their first marriage. The results revealed differences between individuals involved in the two kinds of marriages, in terms of background variables as well as context of interaction with partner and cognitions concerning the relationship.
