The present study attempts to investigate the role of spouses' ego identity levels on their reported marital satisfaction levels. Previous research has documented the importance of adequate communication in a marital relationship. It has also been found that higher levels of communication are associated with higher levels of spouses' perceptions of marital satisfaction. However, the current research is based upon the premise that ego identity and not solely communication, is a powerful and essential psychological variable in the prediction of marital satisfaction. Ego identity as it was formulated by Erikson (1968) was defined as an individual's sense of self and direction in life. Krauss-Whitbourne and Ebmeyer (1990) expanded this formulation to the marital dyad and wrote about the importance for spouses to modify their sense of direction in order to accommodate their partners' ego identity and so arrive at an ego identity that is common for both partners. It was hypothesized that communication and ego identity both predict marital satisfaction levels, but that ego identity would be a better predictor. In addition, higher discrepancies in spousal perceptions toward ego identity and communication would be associated with lower levels of marital satisfaction.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The present study attempts to investigate the role of spouses' ego identity levels on their reported marital satisfaction levels. Previous research has documented the importance of adequate communication in a marital relationship. It has also been found that higher levels of communication are associated with higher levels of spouses' perceptions of marital satisfaction. However, the current research is based upon the premise that ego identity and not solely communication, is a powerful and essential psychological variable in the prediction of marital satisfaction. Ego identity as it was formulated by Erikson (1968) was defined as an individual's sense of self and direction in life. Krauss-Whitbourne and Ebmeyer (1990) expanded this formulation to the marital dyad and wrote about the importance for spouses to modify their sense of direction in order to accommodate their partners' ego identity and so arrive at an ego identity that is common for both partners. It was hypothesized that communication and ego identity both predict marital satisfaction levels, but that ego identity would be a better predictor. In addition, higher discrepancies in spousal perceptions toward ego identity and communication would be associated with lower levels of marital satisfaction.
520 $a Sixty-six randomly selected New York City Board of Education employees and their spouses were the subjects of this study. The subjects answered, independently from each other, a set of questionnaires derived from the Ego Identity Scale (EIS) measuring the subjects' ego identity levels, the Primary Communication Inventory (PCI) measuring the levels of communication and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) measuring the subjects' marital satisfaction levels.
520 $a The results of this study indicate that communication and ego identity are significant predictors of marital satisfaction, but ego identity was not found to be a better predictor of marital satisfaction than communication.
520 $a Higher differences in spouses' reported communication levels were not found to be related significantly to lower levels of marital satisfaction, while higher differences in spouses' perceived ego identity levels were related to lower levels of marital satisfaction significant at the.05 level.
520 $a It was also found, for the overall sample, that communication accounts for about four times as much of the variance in marital satisfaction as ego identity does. No significant interaction effect was evidenced among the variables. Neither the presence of children in the marriage, nor the number of years in the marital relationship influenced the marital satisfaction levels of the subjects. These results may have clinical and practical implications in the psychology of marriage, and for clinical/mental health practitioners involved in marital therapy.
