Abstract
The objective of this research is to examine the predictive role of attachment dimensions and contact disturbances in irrational romantic relationship beliefs. The study group of the research consisted of 349 university students studying at a state university in Turkey. The data on the dependent variable in the research were obtained using the Irrational Romantic Relationship Beliefs Inventory. The data on the independent variables were obtained using the Experiences in Close Relationships Inventory II and the Contact Disturbances Scale. The standard multiple regression analysis was used in the research to test the predictive role of attachment dimensions and contact disturbances of university students in their irrational romantic relationship beliefs. According to the research findings, it was found that the anxiety dimension of attachment and dependent contact predicted excessive expectations positively; full contact and the anxiety dimension of attachment predicted the social time use positively; the anxiety dimension of attachment predicted mind-reading positively; the avoidance dimension of attachment predicted physical intimacy positively; contact and full contact predicted gender differences positively, whereas dependent contact predicted gender differences negatively among irrational beliefs.
