Social-psychological factors affecting relationship satisfaction among married individuals

The objective of the present study is to understand how relationship satisfaction varies across perceived parenting styles and attachment styles among married couples; to understand if any relationship exists between family environment, family satisfaction, adjustment styles, and relationship satisfaction. To achieve this objective a correlational study was opted and a sample of 37 female and 10 male participants, who were selected using a purposive sampling technique, were studied. Relationship assessment Scale, Family Environment Scale, Satisfaction with Family Life Scale (SWFL), Relationship Questionnaire (RO), Parental Authority Questionnaire, and Dyadic Adjustment Scale were used in the present study to measure the variables. The data is analyzed using SPSS as the statistical measure to test the probability of the hypotheses. The results indicate that relationship satisfaction has a negative correlation with family conflict and a significant positive correlation with family satisfaction among married individuals.
