Abstract Details

2020, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Akron, Counselor Education and Supervision.
The goal of the present study was to investigate the association between external stress and relationship satisfaction in couples from the United States. Additionally, given the robust positive associations between dyadic coping and relational outcomes found across cultures (Falconier et al., 2016), we examined how dyadic coping may moderate the association between external stress and relationship satisfaction. To do so, we collected dyadic data from both partners in a relationship. This study extended the research on the moderating effect of dyadic coping (a condensed version of Dyadic Coping Inventory; Bodenmann, 2018) on external stress (a condensed version of Daily Inventory of Stressful Events; Almeida, 2005) and relationship satisfaction. The research design was quantitative, cross sectional, 122 couples of dyadic, secondary data, with APIM and APMoM dyadic models. Because the initial APIM and APMoM were saturated, post hoc, submodels were developed and tested. The results from the submodel APIM were that external stress of male and female partners’ external stress effected their own (actor effects) and not their partners’ (partner effects) relationship satisfaction. The results from the submodel APMoM were that increased female and male dyadic coping moderators increased their own relationship satisfaction. Finally, both models included the results that females stress can affect their own relationship satisfaction, negatively. Limitations, implications, and future directions were discussed.
