The Relationship of Marital Satisfaction and Life Satisfaction with Spiritual Orientation: The Mediating Role of Sacrifice and Sensitivity

Year 2019, Volume: 4 Issue: 3, 237 - 256, 15.10.2019

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to test the proposed structural model related to the mediating role of sensitivity and sacrifice on the relationship of marital satisfaction and life satisfaction with married individuals’ spiritual orientations. The research has been performed with a total of 454 married individuals living in Turkey, of which 280 (61.7%) are females and 174 (38.3%) are males. The Relationship Happiness Questionnaire, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Spiritual Orientation Scale, Sensitivity Scale, and Satisfaction with Sacrifice Scale have been used as the data collection tools. The programs SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 20.0 have been used in the data analyses. The structural model proposed in the research has been tested using the structural equation model. The fit-index values from the tested model have been determined to show good fit and the values to be statistically significant. As a result, the structural model established for testing the mediating roles of sensitivity and sacrifice on the relationship of marital satisfaction and life satisfaction with spiritual orientation has been verified; and sacrifice and sensitivity are seen to have a partial mediating role in the model.

Manevi Yönelim ile Evlilik Doyumu ve Yaşam Doyumu Arasındaki İlişki: Fedakarlık ve Duyarlığın Aracı Rolü

Year 2019, Volume: 4 Issue: 3, 237 - 256, 15.10.2019

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, evli bireylerin manevi yönelimleri ile evlilik doyumları ve yaşam doyumları arasındaki ilişkide duyarlılık ve fedakarlıklarının aracılık rolüne ilişkin önerilen yapısal modelin test edilmesidir. Araştırma, Türkiye’de yaşayan 280’i kadın (%61.7) ve 174’ü erkek (%38.3) olmak üzere toplam 454 evli birey ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak İlişkilerde Mutluluk Ölçeği, Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği, Manevi Yönelim Ölçeği, Duyarlık Ölçeği ve Fedakarlık Doyum Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde SPSS 21.0 ve AMOS 20.0 programları kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada önerilen yapısal model Yapısal Eşitlik Modeli ile test edilmiştir. Test edilen modelin uyum indeksi değerlerinin iyi uyum gösterdiği ve elde edilen değerlerin istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, manevi yönelim ile evlilik doyumu ve yaşam doyumu arasındaki ilişkide duyarlılık ve fedakarlığın aracı rolünü test etmek için kurulan yapısal model doğrulanmış ve duyarlılık ile fedakarlığın modelde kısmi aracılık rolü olduğu görülmüştür.
