NINA-ESTRELLA, Ruth e ORTIZ-ORTIZ, Yamil. Relational Dynamics in the Puerto Rican couple. Psicol. caribe [online]. 2022, vol.39, n.2, pp.5-5. Epub 23-Nov-2022. ISSN 0123-417X.
When studying relational dynamics, it is possible to understand the diverse psychosocial variables interacting within the couple. Given the absence of thorough research, the objective of this study consists of examining the relationship love, the quality of communication and maintenance strategies have with marital satisfaction. Also, to know the contribution of these variables in relationship relational satisfaction. The study is a non-experimental quantitative study in which 198 people, chosen by availability, participated. Most of them were in their first marriage. Four Likert-type scales were applied: love, maintenance strategies, quality of communication, and relationship satisfaction. The results confirm a positive and significant relationship between the variables and demonstrate what they contribute to relational satisfaction. Findings suggest these variables play an important role for Puerto Rican couples in how they affect relationship satisfaction. Futures studies should examine the maintenance strategies with the most significant influence on relational satisfaction and their effect on affective behaviors.
