Partner selection is one of the most important decisions for people. Parental attitudes and the relationship of the individual with their parents are effective in the partner selection process. The aim of the research is to examine the relationship between parental relationships and partner selection. For this purpose, a scale application was conducted with 354 participants. Demographic information form, parental attitude scale, romantic relationship and partner selection scale were used within the scope of the research. Relational screening method was used in the research. According to the results of the research, there is a positive relationship between individuals' parental relationships and partner selection, and parental attitudes are effective in individuals' mate selection processes. Good relationships with parents increase the probability of making the right decision in choosing a partner. While the democratic attitudes of the parents have a positive effect on the partner selection decisions, the authoritarian parent attitude has negative effects on the partner selection decisions. As the authoritarian parental attitude increases, the opposite poles attitude increases in romance and mate selection. Among the results of the study, as the protective-demanding parental attitude increases, the love is sufficient in the choice of romance and spouse, the non-effort and the full trust attitude increase. The results of the research show that parents' pressure on partner selection has negative repercussions, while a democratic approach produces positive examples. The fact that the majority of the participants are women is among the limitations of the study.
