“…"A gente vai discutir a novelinha todo dia, mas ela também pode discutir o futebolzinho de vez em quando, porque mulher não gosta entendeu, né" (H-3). Os resultados apresentados nessa categoria são apontados também na literatura como motivos de conflito (Faulkner et al, 2005;Giudici et al, 2011;Iveniuk, et al, 2014;Karahan, 2009;Pazo & Aguiar, 2012;Silva & Vandenberghe , 2009;Torossian et al, 2009). São problemas que os casais referem, normalmente, no início do casamento e que são resolvidos paulatinamente, enquanto outros surgem ao longo do ciclo vital.…”

“…Esses resultados corroboram outros estudos (Miller & Rempel, 2004;Sanford, 2006) quanto à expressão negativa das emoções que emergem das situações de conflito. As semelhanças e as diferenças encontradas quanto à canalização das emoções podem estar associadas às características individuais de cada participante, como autocontrole (Iveniuk et al, 2014;Pazo & Aguiar, 2012), ou apontar para a oscilação natural de emoções e de reações às quais as pessoas, especialmente nas relações amorosas, estão suscetíveis (Bolze et al, 2013).…”

“…Alguns estudos indicam que os conflitos estão associados mais fortemente à forma como os cônjuges se comunicam do que ao conteúdo comunicado (Karahan, 2009;Silva & Vandenberghe, 2009;Torossian, Heleno & Vizzotto, 2009). Outras pesquisas apontam que a negociação frente aos conflitos será construtiva se os cônjuges forem empáticos, otimistas e valorizarem mais os aspectos positivos do parceiro e do relacionamento, e que será destrutiva se os cônjuges forem individualistas, pessimistas, tenderem à racionalização e à culpabilização (Cundiff, Smith & Frandsen, 2012;Iveniuk, Waite, Laumann, Mcclintock, & Tiedt, 2014;Pazo & Aguiar, 2012;Veldorale-Brogan, Lambert, Fincham, & DeWall, 2013). Nesse sentido, identifica-se que existem fatores individuais e interacionais que se relacionam à ocorrência dos conflitos conjugais.…”

RESUMO.Os conflitos conjugais constituem um fenômeno complexo que têm repercussões na saúde física e mental dos cônjuges, entretanto ainda é pouco estudado no contexto nacional e, especialmente, em casamentos de longa duração. Objetivou-se identificar e comparar os motivos de conflitos conjugais, assim como compreender os sentimentos associados aos mesmos em casamentos de longa duração. Trata-se de um estudo misto, exploratório e sequencial. Na etapa quantitativa, 200 indivíduos responderam à escala de conflito conjugal e, na qualitativa, nove pessoa s participaram de um grupo focal. Os dados quantitativos foram submetidos à análise de comparação de médias, e os qualitativos à análise de conteúdo. Os resultados apontaram a concordância dos participantes de que os conflitos fazem parte da conjugalidade e podem ser construtivos ao casamento. Os motivos de discórdia encontrados foram os filhos, as experiências nas famílias de origem, as finanças, as diferentes características, as preferências de cada parceiro e o tempo para ficar juntos. Identificou -se também que os sentimentos dos cônjuges no decorrer das situações de conflito interferem em sua resolução. Estudos com casais recém-casados e em diferentes etapas do ciclo vital familiar poderiam contribuir para ampliar a compreensão do tema em questão. Palavras-chave: Casamento; conflito conjugal; relações conjugais. MARITAL CONFLICTS IN LONG-TERM MARRIAGES: MOTIVES AND FEELINGSABSTRACT. Marital conflicts are complex phenomena that have an impact on physical and mental health of the spouses. However, they have been little studied in the national context, and, in particular, in longterm marriages. The aim of this article is to identify and to compare the motives of marital conflicts, as well as to understand the feelings associated with them in long -term marriages. It is a mixed, exploratory and sequential study. In the quantitative phase, 200 individuals responded to marital conflict scale and in the qualitative one, nine people participated in a focus group. Quantitative data were submitted to average comparison analysis and qualitative data were submitted to content analysis. The results indicated the agreement of the participants that conflicts are part of the conjugality and can be constructive to marriage. The found discord motives were: children, the e xperiences in the families of origin, finance, different characteristics and preferences of each partner and the time to be together. It also identified that the feelings of the spouses in the course of conflict situations interfere in their way of solving this situation. Studies with newly married couples at different stages of family life cycle could help to broaden the understanding about the issue at hand.

“…The married tend to ignore problems with their spouses because the relationship is an important source of emotional closeness and intimacy (Luong, Charles, & Fingerman, 2011). Recent empirical research however suggests that in marriage, the husband's health has numerous effects on the wife's wellbeing while the wives' health does not have comparable effects on the husband's satisfaction with life (Iveniuk, Waite, Laumann, McClintock, & Tiedt, 2014), Researchers have identified a little relationship between education and life satisfaction. However, the relationship seems to disappear when income and occupation are statistically controlled.…”

The independent association between socio-demographic characteristics and subjective well-being is well studied, however, the moderating impact of those characteristics are yet to be established in literature. This study examines the moderating influence of socio-demographic characteristics on subjective well-being among residents in Ibadan metropolis. Using a descriptive survey design and a multistage sampling technique, 10 enumeration areas each were selected from the five major Local Government Areas (LGAs) with simple random technique. The number of participants on the selected enumeration areas were determined with enumeration area maps. Two hundred and twenty participants each were selected from each LGA, using a systematic technique, making a total of 1,100 participants. A questionnaire focusing on socio-demographic profile and life satisfaction scale (r=0.74) was administered to the participants. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, co-relational analysis, moderated hierarchical multiple regression and analysis of variance at 0.05 level of significance. Two hypotheses were tested. The result reveals that socio-demographic factors jointly predicted life satisfaction (F (1, 1007) =4.61, p<.001). Age and marital status also interacted to predict life satisfaction (β=-0.13, t=-3.58, p<.01; β = -0.08, t=1.98, p<.05). The interaction effect of social demographic factors should be considered in a comprehensive examination of subjective wellbeing.

“…This can be defined as perceiving the same emotion in a partner as that which is perceived by outside observers" (p. 1). Iveniuk et al (2014) showed high neuroticism and low positivity of men are associated with more conflict among couples. Randall et al (2013) showed the association between marital cooperation and emotional coordination.…”

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to gain a deeper understanding of interactional pathology among couples with the morbidly jealous male partners by examining the lived experiences of 5 female partners. The study attempted to answer the main research question which was, "How do women experience their communication with their morbidly jealous husbands?" along with some sub questions in different dimensions of marital life. The major data collection tool consisted of semi-structured interviews (Seidman, 2013). Forty to sixty-minute interviews were conducted with each participant. Data analysis included a three-phase process: description, reduction, and interpretation. The latter was completed using the qualitative content analysis by Colaizzi (Colaizzi, 1973). Four categories of lived experiences indicating interactional difficulty among the couples were obtained from the data analysis. These interactional damageswere evident in the experiences of all the women interviewed and consisted of themes related to boundaries, control, intimacy and 'meta-damages'. The results of the study revealed that the damages begin with those related to boundaries, develop to control and intimacy rooted in meta-damages and finally terminate marital relationships.
