Abstract(s)
Forms of committed relationships, including formal marriage
arrangements between men and women, exist in almost every
culture (Bell, 1997). Yet, similarly to many other psychological
constructs (Henrich et al., 2010), marital satisfaction and its
correlates have been investigated almost exclusively in Western
countries (e.g., Bradbury et al., 2000). Meanwhile, marital
relationships are heavily guided by culturally determined norms,
customs, and expectations (for review see Berscheid, 1995; Fiske
et al., 1998). While we acknowledge the differences existing both
between- and within-cultures, we measured marital satisfaction
and several factors that might potentially correlate with it based
on self-report data from individuals across 33 countries. The
purpose of this paper is to introduce the raw data available for
anybody interested in further examining any relations between
them and other country-level scores obtained elsewhere. Below,
we review the central variables that are likely to be related to
marital satisfaction.
