- Marital Satisfaction in Spanish and Dominican Couples Esther Domínguez Francisco Javier de Santiago Maria Monfragüe García-Mateos Cristina Jenaro Psicología Spain Culture Homogamy Assortative mating Dominican Republic Marriage is an appreciated worldwide institution, although nearly half of first marriages end in divorce. Thus, the relevance of understanding how people choose their partners and what features can predict a satisfactory relationship. More specifically, in search of data supporting similarity or complementarity approaches on marital satisfaction, the current study analyzes the association between different assortative mating options (homogamy, and heterogamy) and marital satisfaction in Spanish and Dominican couples. A stratified quota sampling of 600 participants was selected, corresponding to 300 married couples (50% Spanish and 50% Dominicans). Data were gathered by means of an interview with the 10-item scale on Marital Satisfaction and a 7-item scale on Status. Results suggest that spouses are matched by similarity in their health and education and by the perception of similarity in intelligence and the financial advantages of staying together. Dominican couples experienced higher marital satisfaction than Spanish couples. Findings on hypergamy reveals the persistence of some traditional roles’ distribution among Spanish speaking cultures. The association between status and marital satisfaction revealed that heterogamy rather than homogamy is associated to such satisfaction. These results stress the relevance of taking into account social and cultural differences, beyond biological and psychological factors, to fully understand couples’ satisfaction. 2019 artículo científico 2007-4832 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=358971645006 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3589/358971645006/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3589/358971645006/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3589/358971645006/358971645006.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3589/358971645006/movil 10.22201/fpsi.20074719e.2019.1.05 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3589 Acta de Investigación Psicológica - Psychological Research Records application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Acta de Investigación Psicológica - Psychological Research Records (México) Num.1 Vol.9
