Abstract
The objective of this study is to re-examine the relationship between the self-concept and marital quality. Through application of the interactionist model of the reflected self and a causal model based on path analysis and multiple regression, the direct and indirect effects of the self-concept, perception of spouse's evaluation, and spouse's actual evaluation on indicators of marital quality is examined. Three measures of marital quality and measures of the reflected self were obtained from interviews with 294 couples. The findings supported the prediction of a relationship between the three components of the reflected selfconcept and marital quality and led to a reassessment of the self-concept-marital-quality relationship.
