Self-capacity in romantic relationships is the belief that the individual has its own resources in starting andining a relationship. The study of the variables that examine relationship self-sufficiency contributes to individuals to experience more satisfying romantic relationships. This study also aims to study the relationship self-capacity of adults in terms of dealing with jealousy and linking in close relationships. To reach the work group of the research, the ethical board decision was taken by the Decision No. 24 of the Board of Scientific Research and Publishing Ethics of the University of Muş Alparslan dated 23/02/2021 and adopted at the meeting No. E.4790. The study included 201 women (63.2 percent) and 117 men (36.8 percent). The age of the participants varies from 18 to 40 and the average age is 26.02 (Ss=6.74) This study used the relationship self-sufficiency scale, the reserve of relationships and the romantic jealousy scale/sub scale of dealing with jealousy to collect data. Data analysis used t-test for independent samples, one-way variance analysis, Pearson correlation analysis and multi-regression analysis. The findings found that the level of relationship self-sufficiency of participants, the level of connectivity in close relationships and the level of dealing with jealousy varied significantly by gender. Participants found that the relationship level of self-sufficiency was not different according to the relationship status. The correlation analysis found that there were significant relationships between relationship self-sufficiency, connectivity in close relationships and dealing with jealousy. Finally, it has been found that in close relationships linking and dealing with jealousy are meaningful contributors to the self-sufficiency of the relationship and that about 30% of the total variance is explained. It has been concluded that it is effective to deal with connectivity and jealousy in close relationships in increasing sexual self-capacity of adults.
