“…These results do not meet those by Rempel et al (1985), which defended congruence between personal and perceived motivation, highlighting that our personal motivation influences the way we perceive our partner's motivation. As expected, wives personal and perceived motivation was congruent in all groups, since the women's own motivation style is the only predictor of her perceived motivation (Leslie & Anderson, 1988).…”

The present research intended to study the motivation in couples along the life cycle and its relation to happiness and satisfaction. 185 heterosexual couples, separated into seven groups, participated in this study. Motivation was assessed using MS Motivation Scale (Rempel, Holmes, & Zanna, 1985; Portuguese version by Abreu-Afonso & Leal, 2009), a Unique Index Scale for Assessment of Marital Global Satisfaction and a Unique Index Scale for Assessment of Happiness. We concluded that, although during marriage cycle men and women's motivation does not suffer large fluctuations, there is a decrease in women's intrinsic motivations both personal and perceived. However, small differences can be reported when comparing both genders within each group. For marital satisfaction, perceived motivation is as important as personal motivation, but only in what concerns intrinsic motives. In a general overview, happiness seems to be a broader concept since the results of this variable are less complex than those concerning satisfaction.

There is a gap in nurses' knowledge about how women integrate their multiple roles on a daily basis amidst the economic, social, political, and cultural contingencies of their environments. Quantitative results from a triangulated study of work, maternal, and spousal role experiences of 87 women clerical workers from five ethnic/racial groups indicated that role integration was important in predicting health outcomes. This prior work is extended in this article with an indepth secondary analysis of the qualitative interview data from the same study to develop a theoretical understanding of the construct of role integration. Using techniques of narrative analysis, a theoretical framework was derived to identify and relate aspects, processes, and patterns of role integration as they are experienced in women's everyday lives. Concepts are identified, defined, and visually represented, propositions are elaborated, and implications for further research and practice are suggested.
