Abstract Personality characteristics have been evaluated due to the reflexes that they provoke in the conjugal satisfaction and adjustment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the actor-partner effects of personality traits on the conjugal adjustment of heterosexual couples. The study, quantitative and explanatory, evaluated 231 couples from different cities of Rio Grande do Sul. Respondents completed the Socio-demographic questionnaire, the Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale and the Personality Adjectives Marker scale. The data was analyzed using the Latent Traits Model. The results indicate that socialization, neuroticism and achievement factors have an effect on the marital adjustment of husbands and wives. There is a partner effect on the wives’ neuroticism factor and on the husbands’ achievement factor. The extroversion and openness factors do not provoke actor-partner effects on the adjustment of the couples. The results are discussed in the light of other studies and research agendas are suggested.

This study investigates the relationship between personality, social axioms, and dyadic adjustment. A sample of 420 participants (210 heterosexual couples), approximately evenly distributed between four ethnic backgrounds (Romanian, Hungarian, German, and Rroma), was investigated in a cross–sectional approach with the Romanian versions of the Social Axioms Survey, the Dyadic Adjustment Scale, and the Revised NEO Personality Inventory. The analyses were based on the actor–partner interdependence model. The results showed that social axioms show incremental validity over personality traits in the prediction of dyadic adjustment, attesting to the usefulness of a worldview measure in predicting interpersonal outcomes over and above that provided by a measure of personality. Three of the five dimensions of social axioms were associated with dyadic adjustment, with either actor or partner effects. A few significant differences have been found between the various ethnic groups on effects of the social axioms on dyadic adjustment: The positive actor effect of reward for application is not visible for German men, the negative partner effect of social cynicism is not detectable for Rroma men, and the negative partner effect of social complexity is not visible for Rroma women.

AbstractOne of the keys to achieving a quality of marriage is the marital adjustment. Marital adjustment is defined as the process of mutual adjustment between husband and wife in all aspects of their life. There are many challenges faced, so it requires patience and gratitude. Patience is self-control from bad actions, accompanied by an optimistic attitude, never giving up, being open to new information and solutions, and not easily complaining. Meanwhile, gratitude can be defined as positive feelings to oneself, others, the environment and even God, and is expressed in behavior. This study aimed to explore effect of patience and gratitude on marital adjustment. The research approach used is quantitative, involving 203 respondents (male = 64, female = 139), taken by purposive sampling technique. Criteria of respondent are married Muslim, age of marriage between 0-2 years. The scale used in this study is the RDAS (Revision Dyadic Adjustment Scale) for marital adjustments with 0.796 reliability, the Patience Scale with 0.749 reliability and the Gratitude Scale in Islamic Psychology with a reliability of 0.839. Statistical analysis techniques use multiple regression. The results of this study indicate an F value of 18,717 with a probability value of 0.000 (p <0.05). This data shows that the variables of patience and gratitude have an effect on marital adjustments by 15.8 percent, or with the R square coefficient (R²) value of 0.158.AbstrakSalah satu kunci dari tercapainya kualitas pernikahan adalah adanya penyesuaian pernikahan.  Penyesuaian pernikahan didefinisikan proses saling menyesuaikan antara suami dan istri pada seluruh aspek kehidupannya.

This study was planned to investigate the relationship between perceived multitasking ability and preferences, gender role attitudes, and marital adjustment of working individuals. It was also intended to explore the moderating effect of multitasking preference for the relationship between perceived multitasking ability and marital adjustment. Data was collected from a sample of 222 married working individuals i.e., (117 men and 105 women). Their ages ranged between 23-65 years (M = 38.75, SD = 9.20). Translated version (Kalsoom & Kamal, 2020) of Communication Specific Multitasking Measurement instrument (Kushniryk, 2008), translated (Kalsoom & Kamal, 2018) version of Multitasking Preference Inventory (Poposki & Oswald, 2010), translated (Nasreen, 2000) Version of Dyadic Adjustment Scale (Spanier, 1976), and indigenously developed (Anila & Ansari, 1992) Gender Role Attitudes Scale (Kamal & Saqib, 2004); was used to collect the data. Results showed significant positive correlation of perceived multitasking ability with marital adjustment and multitasking preferences. Gender role attitude was found positively correlated with multitasking preference and marital adjustment. The results also revealed multitasking preference as a moderator in predicting the relationship between perceived multitasking ability and marital adjustment. From these findings we may infer that higher multitasking preferences play an important role for perceived multitasking ability and marital adjustment of married working individuals.

The Individual

Physical decline will occur gradually in middle adulthood. One of the big things related to the physical condition of middle adult women is the period of perimenopause. Not only physically, the perimenopause period will also affect the emotional aspects of women. In this period, women will experience a higher level of anxiety rather than other developmental periods. The anxiety experienced not only affects the individual, but can also have an impact on the couple, such as affecting marriage satisfaction, marriage quality, and sexual satisfaction. One term that is quite broad and can summarize these aspects is marital adjustment. This study aims to determine the effect of anxiety on marital adjustment in perimenopause women. Participants in this study were 182 women, aged 40-50 years who experienced perimenopause symptoms (hot flashes, vaginal dryness, easy headaches, bone loss, increased levels of bad cholesterol, dry skin, difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, decreased sexual desire and fertility, mood changes, irritability, increased symptoms of depression and anxiety). The measuring instruments used in this study were the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS). In this study, the analysis technique used is simple linear regression. The results showed a negative effect of anxiety on marriage adjustment (B = -0.583, p <0.01). The higher the anxiety, the lower the marriage adjustment, and vice versa. The amount of influence given by anxiety on marital adjustment is 34%. Penurunan fisik akan terjadi secara bertahap pada masa dewasa madya. Salah satu hal besar yang berhubungan dengan kondisi fisik pada wanita dewasa madya adalah periode perimenopause. Tidak hanya berpengaruh secara fisik, periode perimenopause juga akan memengaruhi aspek emosional pada wanita. Pada periode ini, wanita akan mengalami tingkat kecemasan yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan pada masa perkembangan lainnya. Kecemasan yang dialami tidak hanya berdampak pada individu, namun juga dapat berdampak pada pasangan, seperti memengaruhi kepuasan pernikahan, kualitas pernikahan, dan kepuasan seksual, Salah satu istilah yang cukup luas dan dapat merangkum aspek-aspek terseut adalah penyesuaian pernikahan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat pengaruh kecemasan terhadap penyesuaian pernikahan pada wanita perimenopause. Partisipan pada penelitian ini adalah 182 wanita, berusia 40-50 tahun yang mengalami simptom perimenopause (hot flashes, rasa kering pada vagina, mudah sakit kepala, pengeroposan tulang, peningkatan kadar kolesterol jahat, kulit kering, sulit berkonsenterasi, mudah lupa, penurunan gairah seksual dan kesuburan, perubahan kondisi mood, mudah tersinggung, peningkatan gejala depresi dan kecemasan). Alat ukur yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) dan Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS). Pada penelitian ini teknik analisa yang digunakan adalah regresi linier sederhana. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya pengaruh negatif kecemasan terhadap penyesuaian pernikahan (B = -0.583, p < 0.01). Semakin tinggi kecemasan maka penyesuaian pernikahan akan semakin rendah, dan sebaliknya. Adapun besar pengaruh yang diberikan kecemasan terhadap penyesuaian pernikahan adalah sebesar 34%.

Original Scale

The present study aimed to explore psychometric properties of the Lock- Wallace Short Marital Adjustment Scale to use in the context of Bangladesh. The original scale consisted of 15 items and higher scores on the scale indicate greater marital satisfaction. After attaining agreement on the appropriateness of translated items by judges, item analysis was done using 318 clinical and nonclinical samples. The Cronbach’s Alpha and split-half reliability of the adapted scale was 0.92 and 0.95, respectively. The test-retest correlation was also found to be significant (r = 0.95, α = 0.01). Construct validity was measured by computing discriminant validity (F = 38.88, α < 0.001) between the clinical and non-clinical sample. Convergent validity was also ensured by measuring correlation(r = 0.72, α = 0.01) between Lock-Wallace scale and Spanier's Dyadic Adjustment Scale. It is suggested that the scale be used in Bangladeshi context considering that the item may incur low score for couples. Dhaka Univ. J. Biol. Sci. 28(2): 159-165, 2019 (July)

The main objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between self-esteem, specific coping strategies and marital adjustment. The sample consists of 216 subjects from 108 couples who completed the Dyadic Adjustment Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Ways of Coping Checklist. The results confirm the presence of a relationship between self-esteem, specific coping strategies and marital adjustment in men and women. High self-esteem and marital adjustment are associated with the use of problem solving strategies and less avoidance as a way of coping. Moreover, cross analyses reveal that one’s feelings of self-worth are associated with his/her spouse's marital adjustment. The theoretical implications of these results are discussed.

Set Up

This study aimed to test the model set up by Obradović and Čudina-Obradović, according to which marital quality is determined by certain traits of marital quality from each of these groups of factors: the personality traits of the partners, the characteristics of the marriage, the marital processes and the marital environment. We operationalized this model, by testing the effect personality traits and the tendency towards alcohol consumption of marriage partners (as a personal characteristic of the marriage partner), the duration of the marriage (as the characteristic of the marriage itself), satisfaction with the division of household responsibilities (as one of the indicators of the development of the marital processes) and doubt regarding the marriage partner's fidelity (as the feature of the wider marital environment) have on the experienced marital quality. NEO-PI-R, The Dyadic Adjustment Scale and questionnaire designed for the aims of this study were used on a sample of 199 respondents from Serbia. Our model shows an excellent fit (X2 >.05; RMSEA<.05; GFI>.90; AGFI>.90; CFI>.90; NFI>.90). It can be concluded that Neuroticism, The Duration of marriage, Doubt regarding the partner’s fidelity and Dissatisfaction with the division of household responsibilities have a negative effect on marital quality.
