Abstract

NEUMANN, Angélica Paula; WAGNER, Adriana; MOSMANN, Clarisse Pereira  and  FALCKE, Denise. Adhesion to the myths of conjugality by men and women: associations with marital quality and conflict. Est. Inter. Psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.10, n.3, suppl.1, pp.66-84. ISSN 2236-6407.  https://doi.org/10.5433/2236-6407.2019v10n3suplp66.

The purpose of this study was to identify the adhesion of men and women to conjugal myths, comparing the sexes and checking associations with sociodemographic variables, marital quality and style of conflict resolution strategies. Participated 65 heterosexual couples, officially married (45.3%), in a stable union (35.9%) or dating (18.5%). The instruments used were: sociodemographic questionnaire, questionnaire of conjugal myths, Golombok and Rust Inventory of Martital State e Conflict Resolution Style Inventory. The results revealed that there was high or moderate adhesion to the conjugal myths. For men, greater adherence was associated with perceived higher marital quality, greater use of submission strategy and less involvement in conflict. For women, adherence to myths was positively correlated with the strategies of positive resolution of conflicts and submission and negatively with involvement in the conflict. It is discussed the need to consider adherence to the myths of conjugality in interventions with couples.

Keywords : conjugal myths; gender; conjugal quality; conjugal conflict.
