Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the personality and demographic characteristics of adjusted and maladjusted couples, to identify the risk factors and predict the probability of maladjustment through discriminant analysis. In this regard, one group of 40 adjusted couples and one group of 40 maladjusted couples who had referred to the Family Judiciary Assembly were selected to answer the Marital Problems Questionarie (MPQ) and a demographic questionnaire. The correlation coefficient of the husbands, and the wives scores on the MPQ items constituted the adjustment score for a couple. It was hypothesized that there would be significant differences between the two groups with regard to marital problems and demographic characteristics. The results of multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) showed that adjusted couples scored significantly higher than did the maladjusted couples on the following variables: motivation for marriage (p = 0.007), sexual adjustment (p = 0.04). adjustment in making decisions (p = 0), husbands education (p = 0), wifes education (p = 0.003) and husbands job (p = 0.05). The result of discriminant analysis showed that the correlations between these variables and group - membership (adjusted or maladjusted)were as follows: Adjustment in decision making (r = 0.583), husbands education (r = 0.58), wifes education (r = 0.46), motivation for marriage (r = 0.425), husbands job (r = .323), and sexual adjustment (r = 0.32). The group membership prediction equation was: y = 0.674 husbedu + 0.16 wifedu + 0.387 husbjob + 0.674 sexadj + 0.904 marrmotive + 1.62 decision - 4.92. If the scores of a couple are put in this equation and the resulting discriminant score (y score) becomes positive, the couple is predicted to be adjusted and if it becomes negative, the couple is predicted to be maladjusted. The probablity of becoming maladjustedfor each couple can also be computed. A discriminant analysis was performed on total adjustment scores and the following equation was obtained for prediction of group membership: y = 4.21 totaladj + 0.55 husbedu + 0.14 wifecu + 0.42 husjob - 5.1. If the scores for each couple are put in to this equation and the resulting discriminant (y) scores were positive, the couple is predicted to be adjusted and if it were negative they arepredicted to be maladjusted.
