Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of dysfunctional communication behavior and self-compassion between marital conflict and marital satisfaction. Firstly, we investigated the marital conflict effect on the marital satisfaction. Secondly, we examined if dysfunctional communication behavior, a risk factor, mediated the association between marital conflict and marital satisfaction. Finally, we examined the moderating effect of self-compassion as a protective factor between marital conflict and marital satisfaction. For this study, 282 married people from Daegu, Gyeongbuk, Gyeonggido had assessments for marital conflict, marital satisfaction, dysfunctional communication behavior and self-compassion. The result of the tests showed that marital conflict had a negative effect on marital conflict. In addition, the dysfunctional communication behavior mediated partially between marital conflict and marital satisfaction. The moderate effect of self-compassion between marital conflict and marital satisfaction was not statistically significant. However additional analysis revealed that marital conflict and marital satisfaction were significantly different based on the level of self-compassion. Several implications of these results and limitations of the study were discussed.
