Abstract
This study was carried out to underscore the impact of coping
mechanisms on the marital quality of dual career couples in
Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa of Pakistan. Coping mechanism
was selected as independent variable and marital quality was
selected as dependent variable of our study. Further, coping
mechanism was explored through three constituent variables
including problem-based coping, emotion-based coping and
negotiation-based coping while the constituent variables of marital
quality were marital satisfaction, communication, togetherness and
marital disagreement. Data was collected through three-point Liker
type scale from 388 purposively selected respondents in the six
selected universities and three hospitals in Peshawar city of Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa. The collected data was analyzed through means and
standard deviation to ascertain the level and degree of marital
quality and the adopted coping mechanisms of dual career couples.
Regression and correlational analysis were conducted to explore
relationships between the selected variables. It was found that
problem focused, emotion focused, and negotiation-based coping
were positively and significantly related with marital satisfaction,
marital communication and marital togetherness while negatively
related with marital disagreement. It was concluded from this study
that quality problem solving skills, positive emotional responses,
and friendly communication enhances marital satisfaction, marital
interaction and overall marital quality of dual career couples in
Pakistan.
