20.500.12556/RUL-153417 Beliefs about romantic relationships and sexual attitudes predicting romantic relationship experiences, intentions, and dating app use Background and Objectives: Recent studies have found changes in romantic relationship (RR) dynamics among emerging adults, such as greater postponement of committed RRs and greater search for new RRs online. In this study, we examined whether one's beliefs about RRs and sexual attitudes are significant predictors of current RR status (in a relationship or single), RR intention (low vs. high), dating app use, dating via a dating app, and number of RRs in one's lifetime. Methods: 440 Slovenian emerging adults participated in the study (319 female, Mage = 22.78). They answered The Brief Measure of Relationship Importance (BMRI), The Brief Sexual Attitudes Scale (BSAS), and some short questions about their RR status, RR intention, use of dating apps, and lifetime number of RRs. The study was conducted online. Results: Using logistic and linear regression analyses, we found that RR dismissal was a significant negative predictor of RR status, RR intention, and dating via a dating app, whereas RR desire did not significantly predict RR outcomes. Sexual permissiveness significantly predicted dating app use, dating via dating apps, and the number of romantic relationships in one's lifetime. Being female, living independently, and having a more instrumental sexual attitude positively predicted “in a relationship” status. Conclusion: Results suggest that certain beliefs about RR and sexual attitudes are related to intentions and decisions to engage in actual RR behaviour. romantic relationships attitudes sexual attitudes dating online dating emerging adulthood partnerski odnosi prepričanja odnos do spolnosti zmenki spletni zmenki prehod v odraslost true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2024-01-04 15:09:11 2024-01-04 15:09:15 2024-01-05 03:43:25 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 10 str. art. 18743501268052 Vol. 16 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2023-01-01 159.922.8-053.81 1874-3501 10.2174/0118743501268052231128111338 179535875 Puklek_Levpuscek_Beliefs_about_Romantic_Relationships_and_Sexual_Attitudes_Predicting_....pdf Puklek_Levpuscek_Beliefs_about_Romantic_Relationships_and_Sexual_Attitudes_Predicting_....pdf 1 566D57DAAF8B1BBB505E6A4728E26874 c2d6153ce4a6022b0c37c060c0f9c38864027d1c9ba143480a74ed15d8897d59 01e82a06-ab0c-11ee-a78a-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=179407 https://openpsychologyjournal.com/VOLUME/16/ELOCATOR/e18743501268052/FULLTEXT/ 1 db858199-ab0a-11ee-a78a-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=179406 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
