Blame, Control, and Marital Satisfaction: Wives' Attributions for Conflict in Marriage.

Madden, Margaret E.; Janoff-Bulman, Ronnie

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v43 n3 p663-74 Aug 1981

Supported the hypotheses that blaming one's spouse for marital problems is negatively associated with marital satisfaction and perceived personal control over conflicts is positively associated with marital satisfaction. The wife's satisfaction was found to be related to her perception of both husband's and wife's contributions. (Author)
