ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF ROLES IN THE FAMILY AND EMOTIONAL COMPETENCE ON SATISFACTION WITH MARITAL AND FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS

Abstract

The article analyzes the satisfaction with marital and family relations of spouses, in particular, its dependence on the distribution of roles between partners, the emotional competence of partners, and the possibility of developing adequate psychotherapeutic measures to help the family.

It has been proven that marital satisfaction has a certain dependence on the distribution of roles and emotional competence. The more adequately the distribution of roles between partners is carried out, the more communication is present, that is, the more they are satisfied with this distribution, the higher the marital satisfaction. It should be noted that men demonstrated higher satisfaction with marriage, as well as satisfaction with the distribution of roles, than women.

The generalized results showed that most couples have the potential to further improve their relationships through increasing emotional openness, developing empathy, and improving communication skills.

It was determined that most respondents have an average level of emotional cohesion, which indicates the ability of spouses to maintain togetherness and mutual respect, but at the same time demonstrates the presence of certain difficulties in achieving full emotional openness.

It was found that almost half of the respondents are characterized by an average level of role flexibility, which indicates the desire of most couples for adaptability, but not always for a deep understanding of the individual characteristics of the partner. This may indicate a certain stereotype in the perception of marital roles or insufficient emotional reflection. It has been shown that most respondents have an average level of role structure formation, which means a generally agreed, but not completely stable system of family roles.

The results obtained in the research process can be effectively used in the practice of counseling couples who are getting married, in order to predict risk factors, as well as prevent or correct maladjustment of young partners and in working with families in crisis.
