Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study investigated the correlation between sexual beliefs, as well as the interpersonal
perception of sexual beliefs within a marriage, and the dyadic adjustment and sexual
satisfaction.
Participants were 38 couples, married less than 10 years. Each participant completed the
Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale, Index of Sexual Satisfaction and the Sexual
Irrationality Questionnaire. Each participant was also requested to complete the latter
questionnaire as he/she would expect hislher partner to complete it.
A significant relationship was found between sexual satisfaction and dyadic adjustment,
as well as between spouses' sexual beliefs and their perceptions of their partners' sexual
beliefs. No support was found for the hypotheses that the interpersonal perception of
sexual beliefs would correlate with either sexual satisfaction or marital adjustment. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie studie is die verband tussen seksuele kognisies, sowel as die interpersoonlike
persepsie van seksuele kognisies binne huweliksverband, en huweliksaanpassing en
seksuele satisfaksie nagegaan.
Deelnemers aan die ondersoek was 38 pare wat korter as 10 jaar getroud was. Hulle het
elkeen die Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale, Index of Sexual Satisfaction en die Sexual
Irrationality Questionnaire voltooi. Elke deelnemer moes laasgenoemde vraelys ook
voltooi soos hy/sy verwag het sy/haar huweliksmaat dit sou voltooi.
'n Beduidende verband is tussen seksuele satisfaksie en huweliksaanpassing gevind,
asook tussen egliede se eie seksuele kognisies en hulle beoordelings van hulle
huweliksmaats se seksuele kognisies. Geen ondersteuning kon in die hipotese gevind
word aan die interpersoonlike persepsie van seksuele kognisies met óf seksuele
satisfaksie óf huweliksaanpassing verband sou hou nie.
