Abstract

ABSTRACT The goal of this study was to investigate the cultural predictors of relational satisfaction in intercultural marriages: self-construals, power distance, and relational models. Participants in an intercultural marriage (N = 248) completed an online questionnaire assessing these variables. Results indicated that both self-construals and power distance predicted relational satisfaction, as did the communal sharing relational model. Mediation analyses further revealed that communal sharing was a significant mediator of the relationship between each cultural variable and relational satisfaction. These findings are discussed in light of intercultural communication, with a focus on practical implications for intercultural relationships.
