Correlations between Subjective Well-being, Dyadic Adjustment and Marital Satisfaction in Brazilian Married People
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 January 2013
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the relationships between the constructs subjective well-being (SWB), dyadic adjustment (DA) and marital satisfaction (MS). Participants were 106 married Brazilians, of both sexes, with a mean age of 42 (± 11) years. Instruments used for the sociodemographic characterization and socioeconomic classification were the Subjective Well-being Scale (SWBS), the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) and the Marital Satisfaction Scale (MSS). Through the analysis of correlations and of stepwise multiple regression, it was verified that all the factors of the dyadic adjustment showed correlation with the marital satisfaction. The satisfaction with life (factor of the SWBS) and dyadic satisfaction (factor of the DAS), were positively and significantly correlated (r = .20; p = .04), which reveals that people who say they are satisfied with life in different domains also do so in relation to the marital experience.
Este estudio tuvo como objetivo investigar las relaciones entre los constructos del bienestar subjetivo (SWB), el ajuste diádico (DA) y la satisfacción marital (MS). Los participantes que tomaron parte en este estudio fueron 106 brasileños casados, de ambos sexos, con una edad media de 42 (± 11) años. Los instrumentos utilizados para la caracterización sociodemográfica y la clasificación socioeconómica fueron la Escala de Bienestar Subjetivo (SWB), la Escala de Ajuste Diádico(DAS) y la Escala de Satisfacción Marital (MSS). A través del análisis de las correlaciones y de la regresión múltiple por pasos, se ha verificado que todos los factores del ajuste diádico mostraron correlación com la satisfacción marital. La satisfacción con la vida (factor de La SWB) y la satisfacción diádica (factor de La DAS) correlacionan significativa y positivamente (r = 0,20, p = 0,04), lo que revela que las personas que dicen que están satisfechos con la vida en diferentes domínios también lo hacen em relación con la experiencia marital.
