HOW DOES POWER AND GENDER PREDICT ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP SATISFACTION?

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find out the role of power and gender in romantic relationship satisfaction (used interchangeably in regard to dating relationship) among college students. The sample was composed of 202 college students. For data collection, Relationship Assessment Scale, Sense of Power Scale and Demographic Data Form were utilized. The results of Simultaneous Regression Analysis showed that power had positive relationship with relationship satisfaction while gender did not play a role in predicting relationship satisfaction among college students. Regarding the positive relationship between power and relationship satisfaction, power should be taken into consideration as an important variable in further relationship satisfaction studies.
