Abstract

The present study was to explore whether the difference and misunderstanding on psychological needs between married couples are related to their marital conflicts. 223 married couples living in three different areas responded to the scale so as to measure couple's three basic psychological needs(relationship, autonomy, and capability) developed by Han and Shin(2006). The difference in needs between husband and wife is operationally defined as the difference between husband's self-perceptions and wife's need, and the misunderstanding is defined as the difference between one's perception to spouse and spouse's self-perception. The results of this study are as follows：First, it is shown that the couple's needs were not complementary but similar to each other. Second, the more differences between husband's and wife's needs were, the higher their marital conflict was. Especially the difference between couples' needs of relationship was related to their conflict. Third, the more misunderstanding of his(and her) spouse's relationship need, the higher conflict. Above results suggest that the accurate understanding of spouse's relationship need has a critical role in quality of marriage.
