Popis: The attitudes of single and married individuals towards marriage may differ. In this research, the marriage attitudes of married and single individuals were examined in terms of various variables. For this purpose, the marriage attitudes of married and single individuals were examined in terms of gender, marital status, employment status, age, economic level and education level variables. In the research, descriptive survey design, one of the quantitative research methods, was used. The population of this research consists of married and single individuals. The sample group of the research was selected using the random sampling method to reflect the universe. Considering the possible data loss, a total of 383 individuals consisting of 228 female and 155 male participants were selected as the sample group. The "Personal Information Form" and the "Marital Attitudes Scale" were administered to the individuals who participated in the study. Independent samples t-test and one-way analysis of variance were used to analyse the data obtained from the research. If there was a difference in the results of the analyses, post hoc Tukey and LSD tests were used to see which group the difference came from. According to the results of the analyses, it was found that the variables of marital status, parental marital status, age, socio-economic level and educational level created a statistically significant difference between married and single individuals. In the analyses carried out on the variables of gender and employment status, the difference was not significant. Married persons are more likely to be married than single persons.
