Abstract :
The purpose of present study was that investigate the predictive role of information processing styles on marriage expectation. This study performed on 376 students (227 males and 149 females) in Azad university of Kermanshah. The experiential – rational inventory (ERI) and marriage expectation questionnaire (MES) used as date gathering tools. For data-analyzing the descriptive and inferential statistics used; for investigating the relation and level of power in above mentioned predictive variables, the Pearsons product-moment correlation coefficient, and concurrent regression were used and the MANOVA (Multivariate Analysis Of Variance) was used for comparing the study variables between males and females. The results of concurrent regression showed that the rational style could not predict the idealistic expectation while that the experiential style can do this significantly. The experiential style with a negative coefficient can predict the pessimistic expectation. The rational and experiential style can predict about 0/05 of realistic expectation. The results of MANOVA showed that females in compare to males significantly have more realistic and idealistic expectations.
