ÖZ. Genç yetişkinlik dönemi, bireylerin yakın ilişki inanç, tutum ve alışkanlıklarını oluşturdukları, ve bu tutum ve alışkanlıklarının evlilik ilişkisi gibi gelecekteki daha ciddi ilişkilerinin temelini oluşturduğu son derece önemli bir gelişimsel evredir. Dünya genelinde artan boşanma oranları ve bunun aile yapısı, çocukların ve yetişkinlerin ruh sağlığı üzerindeki olumsuz etkileri göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, gelecek nesillerin ruh sağlığı adına tedbirler alınması gerekmektedir. Ulusal çapta yapılan bazı boylamsal çalışmalar, ilişkilerde bağlılık eksikliğinin boşanmanın bir numaralı sebebi olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Bu yazı, genç yetişkinlerin romantik ilişkilerinde bağlılık kavramının önemi ve bu kavramın olası yordayıcıları konusunda literatür özeti sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Mevcut kuram ve araştırmalar ışığında, bağlılığın önemli bir bilişsel yordayıcısı olarak bağlanma stilleri üzerinde özellikle durulmuştur.

Young adulthood is an important developmental period during which the individuals tend to create their relationship beliefs, attitudes and habits which constitute the basis of their future serious relationships such as marriage. Considering the increasing divorce rates all around the world and its harmful impact on family life, children's and adults' mental health, cautions should be taken for the psychological health of future generations. Some longitudinal nationwide studies indicate that lack of commitment is the number one reason for divorce. This paper aims to review the importance of the commitment for the romantic relationships of young adults and the possible predictors of commitment. In the light of theories and research, this paper specifically emphasizes attachment styles as a significant cognitive factor to explain the construct of commitment. Keywords: Romantic Relationships, Young Adulthood, Commitment, Attachment Styles INTRODUCTIONAccording to Erikson (1968), one of the crucial developmental tasks of young adulthood is to establish and sustain a committed romantic relationship, which in turn help the individuals establish more mature and serious adult relationships, and promote their mental health throughout the life span. Several factors have been proposed to explain the predictors of commitment in romantic relationships and attachment styles, which has been comprehensively conceptualized in attachment theory, has been considered as one of the most promising individual and interpersonal factor in relation to commitment in romantic relationships since it is one of the earliest schemas about self and others. This paper aims to present a review on the literature on attachment styles and commitment in romantic relationships of young adults.
