Abstract
Individuals’ perceptions of stressful situations differ. Time and again one’s stress gets spilled onto the partner and vice-versa, which eventually affects their relationship. This research was aimed at studying the relationship between locus of control, dyadic coping and relationship satisfaction among married couples. The sample consisted of 52 heterosexual married couples (104 individuals- 52 males and 52 females) from India. Locus of Control Scale by Terry Pettijohn, Dyadic Coping Inventory by Guy Bodenmann and Relationship Satisfaction Scale by David Burns were used in the study. Correlation analysis was completed using SPSS software. Results showed a high positive correlation between dyadic coping and relationship satisfaction, and low positive correlations between locus of control and relationship satisfaction; and locus of control and dyadic coping. The results were statistically significant. No significant differences were observed between genders.
