As a result of the study, it was seen that women's family membership was significantly higher than men. The presence of domestic violence experience negatively affects self and family belonging. There is a significant relationship between parents' educational level and attitudes towards young adults and family belonging. It was found that the situation in the family was important in terms of expressing the feelings of the family members and this was related to the family belonging of the individual. It is thought that individual's family belonging can be increased by strengthening the family communication by parents and supporting children in expressing their feelings.
