Spouses' perceptions of each other's coping ability with possible stressful life events and marital quality

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This study examines the effect on marital quality of spouses' appreciation of partner's coping ability with possible stressful life events. Results show that while higher appreciation of partner's coping ability contributes to marital quality in wives, only the extent of being threatened by stressful life events and sense of being needed by partner for support when confronting with stressful life events contribute to marital quality in husbands.
