Marital Adjustment In The Light Of Some Variables

Abstract

This study aims at knowing the effect of the ages of the couple, the duration of marriage, and having children on the marital adjustment. We conducted the study on a sample of 60 married people whose ages are between 25-58 years old and who had been chosen at random. The study uses the Dyadic Adjustment Scale of Spinner (1976) which had been adapted to the Algerian
environment by Mansouri & Zouaoui (2017). Findings show that there are no statistically significant differences between the means of the degrees of the studied people regarding the level of the marital adjustment. Moreover, the marital adjustment differs with the ages of the couple, not with the duration of marriage or having children or not
