“…This type of behavior, which is more likely to be observed in women aged 20-30 years, is mainly formed by cultural issues. [39] Similar to these results, Allemand and Lehmann also indicated the establishment of character traits using social roles. [40] According to the biological and evolutionary theories, women invest more in their child's growth, compared to men, due to biological reasons, such as pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding.…”

“…However, if conflicts are dealt in a hostile or competitive way, when spouses cannot compromise, and don't allow themselves to try to understand their partner and comply with some of the partner's requests, conflicts can be destructive, causing resentment, hostility, separation or divorce (Gottman, Coan, Carrere & Swanson, 1998). The implications of such conflicts are hard and have an impact on broader circles besides the spouses themselves, such as on children, relatives and the society at large (Igbo, Grace, & Christiana, 2015).…”

“…There are various strategies by which spousal conflicts might be resolved (Igbo, Grace, & Christiana, 2015); in the focus of the present study is the Interpersonal Power Interaction Model (Raven, 1992;Raven, Schwarzwald, & Koslowsky, 1998). This model describes how an individual chooses an influence tactic or rather complies with the influencing agent and specifies cultural-social, situational and personal factors, as well as cost-benefit considerations that determine influence tactics preference and compliance.…”

“…Those conflicts can either weaken or strengthen the relationship, it can be destructive, causing resentment, hostility, separation or divorce, but it can also be productive, creating understanding, closeness and respect for one another. The determining factor in healthy and unhealthy relationships is how conflicts get resolved, and not necessarily their frequency in the relationship (Igbo, Grace, & Christiana, 2015). Emotions take a critical role in effecting conflict management style; negative emotions lead to aggressive management style while positive emotions lead to softer, friendlier, management style (Laslo-Roth & Schwarzwald, 2016).…”

This study was aimed to examine the relationships between emotion regulation and compliance among spouses in conflict. Furthermore, because compliance in conflict situations has been associated with individual differences in cognitive closure and emotions, we examined how these factors modulate the effect of emotion regulation on compliance. To this end, 70 praticipates, randomly assigned to reappraisal and control groups, reported the influence tactics they would comply, their affective state and their cognitive closure level. Results indicated that as compared to control, reappraisal strengthened the tendency to comply during conflict and that this effect was stronger among participants with low cognitive closure. Moreover, the interaction between emotion regulation and cognitive closure on harsh influence tactics was mediated by inward-directed negative affect, suggesting that the reappraisal instruction promoted better resiliency to negative affect among high cognitive closure participants. We discuss the role of emotion regulation techniques in treatment and in interpersonal relationships.

“…Conflict is an unavoidable part of marriage. Conflicts can involve sexual disagreements, differences in temperament, interests, values, religion, and parenting styles (Igbo, Grace, & Christiana, 2015). Additionally, conflict can also be triggered by economic problems, recreation, and decision-making in the household, as well as the execution of duties or roles in the household (Scanzoni, 1985).…”

The study was conducted on a total of 144 subjects consisting of 90 full-time working wives and 54 non-working wives. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires. Results of linear regression analysis showed a difference in the factors affecting marital satisfaction in working and non-working wives.
