Components of Family Life Satisfaction in a Sample of 58 Korean/American Couples
In previous research with middle-class, midwestern couples, family life satisfaction has been predicted primarily by marital satisfaction. In this study, 58 American husbands and 58 Korean wives responded to a survey in their native languages concerning family life satisfaction and its components. For both spouses, marital satisfaction was the most substantial predictor of family life satisfaction. Although parental satisfaction was important for husbands, it was not a significant predictor for wives.
