Dysfunctional Relationships

This study investigated the association between dysfunctional relationship beliefs and marital relationships of Turkish nonclinical married individuals. The Interpersonal Cognitive Distortions Scale (Hamamci & Büyüközturk, 2004), Dyadic Adjustment Scale (Spanier, 1976), and Marriage Life Scale (Tezer, 1986), which measure marital satisfaction, were administered to the sample of 190 married females and males. Analysis revealed that married individuals with low dyadic adjustment endorsed significantly more dysfunctional relationship beliefs than did those with high dyadic adjustment. It was found that dysfunctional relationship beliefs, including especially beliefs concerning being very close to others in their relationships causing negative consequences, have negative and moderate level correlation with the marital adjustment of males, and negative and very low level correlations were found between marital satisfaction and dysfunctional relationships beliefs. But mindreading beliefs were positively associated with the marital satisfaction of females. Although there were no significant age or gender differences in dysfunctional relationship beliefs, significant differences were observed in dysfunctional relationship beliefs in terms of the education level of married individuals.

Specific Impact

It has been found that the presence of negative communicative techniques and emotional flooding in marital relationships negatively relates to marital satisfaction. However, current literature has not consistently included known demographical differences (e.g., race, gender, etc.) to truly test how these variables impact marital satisfaction. This study investigated the specific impact that both emotional flooding and negative communicative techniques had on 591 married individuals’ marital satisfaction while controlling for gender, race, and length of relationship. The results indicated that emotional flooding tends to decrease as marriages go on, and refusing to talk with the partner had the greatest negative impact on relationship satisfaction regardless of demographical differences. Suggestions are provided for how therapists and practitioners can use these findings to assist couples who are using negative communication techniques and are, subsequently, experiencing marital dissatisfaction.

Among the multiple determinants of marital satisfaction, evidence points to the social skills of married couples. This study investigates the correlations between these constructs, cross-correlating data from husband and wives. A total of 406 married individuals, 188 men and 218 women, completed the Marital Satisfaction Scale, Social Skills Inventory (SSI-Del-Prette) and Marital Social Skills Inventory (MSSI-Villa&Del-Prette). The results revealed a significant correlation among the scores of the three instruments, confirming the relationship between marital satisfaction and the social skills of married couples. In the cross-correlations, three classes of marital social skills (proactive self-control, reactive self-control and expressiveness/empathy) were more strongly correlated to husbands’ marital satisfaction, and husbands’ three social skills (assertive conversation, self-assertiveness and expressiveness/empathy) were correlated with wives’ marital satisfaction. Gender differences concerning the importance of one spouse’s social skills leading to the other spouse’s satisfaction are stressed as an item to be used in detailed diagnostics and effective interventions with couples. Some issues for future research are also discussed.

Using Data

Using data from 501 married individuals living in Northern Cyprus, an understudied context, this study tests the effect of intimate partner violence (specifically, verbal and physical spousal aggression) on marital satisfaction. In particular, this study explores whether marital communication mediates the effects of verbal and physical spousal aggression on marital satisfaction, and whether these effects differ between men and women. Results suggest that respondents who report only verbal spousal aggression or both verbal and physical spousal aggression have significantly lower marital satisfaction than those who report no verbal or physical spousal aggression. Marital communication partially mediates the effect of only verbal spousal aggression, and of both verbal and physical spousal aggression, on marital satisfaction. Furthermore, the results indicate that the effect of only verbal spousal aggression on marital satisfaction is stronger for husbands, while the effect of both verbal and physical spousal aggression on marital satisfaction is stronger for wives.

We sought to understand that individuals who sext in their marital relationships by looking at sexting behaviors in relation to both relationship status and marital satisfaction. Three hundred twenty-seven individuals completed the sexting behavior scales and the Kansas marital satisfaction scale. Results indicate that about 91% of the population report sending or receiving sext text messages. Although they still partake, this study also found that married individuals have a more negative view of sexting compared to other relationship statuses, except for younger females who despite their negative views of sexting, reported high marital satisfaction. Finally, sexting within the marital relationship does not seem to increase marital satisfaction.

Abstract Objectives Social participation is important to the quality of life of older adults, especially widows. This is the first study to test whether older widows’ formal and informal social participation rises or declines using multiple panel observations pre- and post-bereavement. The paper also tests the moderating effects of economic and marital satisfaction, depression, and husband’s illness before death on these trends. Methods Seven waves of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing are used to track changes in four measures of social participation – meeting and contacting a child, meeting friends, and attending a formal group. A comparison group of married individuals, weighted with coarsened exact matching, controls for age and time trends. Mixed model regressions estimate the effects of widowhood over time. Results Social participation shows little change before bereavement and rises significantly after bereavement for all measures. However, frequencies of meeting and contacting a child peak and decline early post-bereavement, while meeting friends and attending a group show delayed but long-lasting effects. Moderators economic and marital satisfaction are positively associated with overall social participation levels, but negatively associated with social participation post-bereavement. Discussion Increased social participation after bereavement underscores the resilience of widows and the social support they receive. However, differences in timing suggest that contact with children is gradually substituted with extra-familial relationships in the long run. The negative moderating roles of economic and marital satisfaction point to a paradox where seemingly well-off individuals may be more vulnerable to widowhood.
