Journal Title: Ankara Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the relation among demographic variables, expressed emotion, depression, empathy and the marital adjustment. In accordance with this aim, Marital Adjustment Scale, Level of Expressed Emotion Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, and Empathetic Tendency Scale were applied to 167 married individuals (102 women, 65 man). Level of Expressed Emotion Scale’s Emotional Response Subscale was determined as the variable, predicting marital adjustment. It was found out that the scores of Tolerance/Expectance and Emotional Reaction Subscales, as well as the scores of Depression differed between two groups with a high and low level of marital adjustment. The significance of the findings on expressed emotion of married couples increases, since the research was not conducted by using a clinical sample. Accordingly, it would be worth taking into consideration the variable of expressed emotion in further studies on marriage.
