A Behavioral Analysis of the Determinants of Marital Satisfaction.
Abstract
A study has sought to identify the relative contribution or weighting of specified classes of exchanged behavioral events and quality of experience outside of one's relationship believed to be of importance conceptually to the reported satisfaction provided by a dyadic relationship. While previous studies have relied essentially upon retrospective reporting, the investigation utilizes partners' observations of exchanged pleasurable and unpleasurable events as well as daily ratings of quality of outside experience. The study also has sought to illuminate reciprocity between dyadic exchange of pleasant and unpleasant events or consequences. (Author)
