| dc.description.abstract | The main purpose of this research was to compare early, age appropriate-arranged, and love-matched married persons in terms of their marital adjustment. A sample of 210 married individuals (105 males and 105 females) was selected from Motta Administrative Town through purposive sampling technique. The data were collected through rating scale and analyzed statistically. The results showed that the general patterns of marital adjustment scores were found above the average/ mid point of the scale. The results also indicated that there were statistically s ignificant differences in marital adjustment among early, age appropriate-arranged, and love-matched ma/Tied individuals in the sense that love-matched married have significantly better marital adjustment than the two groups. As regards marital adjustment dimensions, ""--' early married.Jv.dividuals had significantly lower mean score on consensus and satisfaction dimensions than both age appropriate-arranged and love-matched ma.rried individuals. In addition, early married individuals had significantly lower mean score on cohesion dimension than love-matched married individuals. Moreover, love .. matched participants had higher mean score than both early and age appropriate-arranged married participants on affectional expression dimension. ~ Concerning demographic factors, marital adjustment was significantly related to age at the present marriage. As regards sex difference in ma.rital adjustment, statistically significant difference was fOUnd between early married males and females. That is, males have higher marital adj;;s[rnent than females . However, significant sex differences in marital adjustment were not found in both age appropriate-arranged and love-matched married individuals. Bes ides, early ma/Tied males were significantly higher than females on satisfaction and affedional expression dimensions. Moreover, age appropriate-arranged' married males were significantly higher on affectional expression dimension than female counter parts. On the other hand, there were no significant differences observed between love-matched males and females on the four dimensions of marital adjustment. At las t; the findings of this research are only paint part of the picture, so in the future in-depth research should be conducted on this very basic issue including other variables that may influence marital adjustment. | en_US |
