Aim: This study assessed the various aspects of marital functioning among the spouses of patients with schizophrenia and recurrent depressive disorder (RDD). Methodology: Spouses were assessed on Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS), Marital Forgiveness Scale, Quality Marriage Index, New Sexual Satisfaction Scale, and Arizona Sexual Experience Questionnaire. Results: Compared to the spouses of patients with RDD, spouses of patients with schizophrenia reported poor marital adjustment (in the consensus and satisfaction domains of DAS), lower quality of marriage, and significantly lower sexual satisfaction. Spouses did not differ significantly on account of marital forgiveness and prevalence of sexual dysfunction. Higher age of onset of schizophrenia in the patients was associated with better quality of marriage as assessed by using quality of marriage scale, better consensus, and satisfaction as per the DAS. Higher residual psychopathology and poor socio-occupational functioning in patients with schizophrenia were associated with poor marital adjustment and sexual satisfaction. Conclusion: To conclude, the present study depicts that the spouses of patients with schizophrenia have poorer marital adjustment and sexual satisfaction, in comparison to the spouses of patients with RDD.

The purpose of this study was to determine the level of sexual satisfaction and type of relationship between spouses, and then to determine the correlation between these variables and independent variables. These include: disability type of the child, the number of children in the family, and the gender of the parents. The hypothesis was that ‘the level of sexual satisfaction in parents is significantly related to the type of disability possessed by their children’ and similarly it was found that disability type significantly affects the type of relationship between parents. The research was conducted using the Matched Marriage Questionnaire (MMQ) and the Sexual Satisfaction Scale (SSS). The data obtained in the study showed that most spouses experience high and average sexual satisfaction and no particular differences between men and women were observed. The differences appeared when analyzing parents of a child with autism. In this group the results were more diverse in the detailed descriptions of the scale. The results obtained regarding marital relationship satisfaction indicate a not very favorable picture of the relationships of the surveyed subjects.

ZusammenfassungDie New Sexual Satisfaction Scale (NSSS) ist ein international etablierter Fragebogen zur Erfassung der sexuellen Zufriedenheit mit ursprünglich 2 Subskalen (selbstfokussierte bzw. partner-/aktivitätenfokussierte sexuelle Zufriedenheit). Ziel der vorliegenden Studie war es, die deutsche Kurzversion des Fragebogens (NSSS-SD) im Rahmen einer Repräsentativerhebung in Deutschland (N=2524) zu überprüfen. Zusätzlich wurden Zusammenhänge zwischen sexueller Zufriedenheit und soziodemografischen Faktoren (Alter, Geschlecht, Bildungsstand) sowie Aspekten der Partnerschaft und Sexualität (Beziehungszufriedenheit, Koitusfrequenz, Anzahl der Sexualpartner) untersucht. Die interne Konsistenz der NSSS-SD lag bei 0,96. Die 2-dimensionale Struktur der Langversion konnte für die Kurzversion nicht bestätigt werden. Es konnte ein Faktor extrahiert werden, welcher 68,94% der Varianz aufklärt. Varianzanalysen ergaben signifikante Unterschiede in der sexuellen Zufriedenheit bezüglich Alter, Bildungsstand, Beziehungszufriedenheit und Koitusfrequenz, nicht aber bezogen auf Geschlecht oder Anzahl der Sexualpartner. Die NSSS-SD ermöglicht die Messung der sexuellen Zufriedenheit für sexuell aktive Personen. Für sexuell inaktive Personen sollte eine Änderung der Instruktion in Betracht gezogen oder eine visuelle Analogskala angeboten werden.

Work and organizational psychology has long been concerned with measuring job satisfaction in organizational contexts, and this has carried across to the field of education, leading to a research focus on the work-related satisfaction of teachers. Today, a myriad of organizations continue to assess employees’ job satisfaction on a routine basis (Liu, Borg, & Spector, 2004). Unfortunately, a sort of balkanization of the field has resulted in the production of dozens of specific measurement tools, making it difficult to cross-compare samples and contexts. The present paper tested the measurement invariance of the Teacher Job Satisfaction Scale (TJSS) in six international cohorts (Netherlands, United States, Russia China, Italy and Palestine) of in-service teachers (N = 2,819). Confirmatory factor analysis and multi-group invariance tests were applied. The TJSS-9 displayed robust psychometric proprieties and no substantial departures from measurement invariance (configural and metric). Future research is required to further test equivalence across additional countries, with view to developing a truly international tool for measuring job satisfaction in teaching.
