Özet

This study explored whether young adults' priorities in their life plans (career or marriage) are predicted by marital salience, marital readiness status, self-efficacy in making a career plan and well-being. The study utilized a sample of 878 never married Turkish young adults. The findings put forth that young adults' priorities in their life plans are significantly predicted by marital salience, marital readiness status and self-efficacy in making career plan. As a results, greater belief in marital salience was associated with an increased likelihood of prioritizing marriage in the life plan.
