Abstract
In this study, marital adjustment level of individuals was investigated in terms of their ambivalent sexism, submissive behaviors, and positive and negative affect. The data was collected with Marital Adjustment Scale, Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, Submissive Behaviors Scale, and Positive and Negative Affect Scale from 378 married individuals. The relationships between the variables were analyzed by Pearson’s correlation coefficient, t-test, and regression analysis. The findings showed that marital adjustment of married individuals was positively correlated with positive affect and negatively correlated with negative affect. On the other hand, marital adjustment was not significantly related to hostile sexism, benevolent sexism, and submissive behaviors. Furthermore, the findings showed that negative affect positively related to hostile sexism, benevolent sexism, submissive behaviors. The results of multiple regression analysis indicated that marital adjustment was positively predicted by positive affect; however, it was negatively predicted by negative affect. Lastly, the present study results showed that marital adjustment and benevolent sexism did not differ significantly between the genders; however, there was a significant difference between genders in terms of hostile sexism, submissive behaviors, and positive and negative affects.
Keywords: Marital adjustment, ambivalent sexism, submissive behaviors, positive and negative affect, multiple regression analysis.
