- Description:
- The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of domestic violence on marital satisfaction. The sample for this study consisted of forty female respondents from one women's shelter in Atlanta, Georgia. One questionnaire consisting of eighteen items was administered by the researcher and one assistant. The variables tested in the domestic violence section were hitting, kicking, shoving, and slapping. Marital satisfaction was measured by the respondents assessment of the couples cohesiveness, agreement on issues, sexual relationship, and love and affection displayed. The results were analyzed utilizing frequency distribution, means, standard deviation, chi-square and GAMMA. The findings indicate a statistical significance between domestic violence and marital satisfaction existed, with a meaningful relationship between the variables. Thus the null hypothesis was rejected.
