One form of marital arrangements in Indonesian Muslim society is to get married through arranged marriages, popularly called as ta'aruf. Ta'aruf is related to the individual's religiosity, which may be associated with high marital satisfaction. This study aimed to explore the comparison of marital satisfaction by couple types in the context of marriage through ta'aruf. This research involved 62 persons as couples (M of age = 25.35 years old) in Jakarta as participants. The Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale (RDAS) and Relational Dimensions Instrument (RDI) were used to collect the data. The couple types were derived from K-Means cluster analysis on the RDI score which was further analyzed with one-way ANOVA to test for difference in marital satisfaction. The results show there is a significant difference in marital satisfaction among the couple types in the couples as general, and also particularly in men as husbands. However, marital satisfaction does not differ to the couple type among women as wives. Therefore, gender seems to influence this relationship since husbands and wives differ in their degree of marital satisfaction within the same couple types. The compatibility on the vision and marital scheme between the spouses may enforce to a high marital satisfaction.

There are several sources of stress that social workers probably have, which are heavy workload, conflict in superior-subordinate relationships and family problems. The main purpose of this study was to see the effect of group based brief acceptance commitment therapy (B-ACT) in reducing work stress. The design of study used a pretest-posttest one group design. The subjects involved in this study were seven workers at a nursing home. The data were obtained through interviews, observation, and questionnaires. Statistical analysis using Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test indicated that B-ACT is not significantly effective in reducing work stress. However, a trend of positive improvement was observed, indicating the potential benefit of B-ACT for reducing work stress in social workers. Limitations of this study are explained in the discussion section.

The rise of opportunities for females to work outside household settings in Indonesia has changed the division of traditional roles and responsibilities among married couples and thus may affect the quality of marital relationships. This study aims to observe how income earner status (single or dual earner) within families and couple type play roles in marital satisfaction. The participants comprised 224 spousal couples who are analyzed individually and together to categorize couple types measured using the Relational Dimension Instrument and Couple Satisfaction Index. Results indicate that for income earner status, no significant predominant effect on marital satisfaction was observed. The average marital satisfaction scores between couples with single- and dual-income statuses were insignificantly different, suggesting that dual- or single-income status does not have a direct effect on marital satisfaction. Based on couple type, traditional and separated types showed the highest marital satisfaction mean scores and lowest marital satisfaction scores among other types, respectively. These results reveal that interdependence and conflict resolution communication are important aspects in determining marital satisfaction levels among the Indonesian couples who participated in this study.
