| Summary: | This study aims in studying the relationship between quality in marital relationship and self-
esteem.
In studying the relationship between quality in
marital relationship and self-esteem, researcher
make hypothesis to study the
relationship between quality in marital relationship and self-esteem, the
relationship between task accomplishment and self-
esteem,
the relationship
between communication and self-
esteem, and the relationship between affective
expression and self-esteem.Spearman correlation
Analysis Method was used to
analysis the relationship between these variables.
Besides studying the
relationship between these variables, the researcher also looked at the differences of
participants’ self-esteem base on
selected demographic factor of gender.
The difference in term of gender was
analyzed using t-test. A survey research was
conducted using
questionnaires which we
re selected from Dyadic Relationship
Scale (2003) in Family Assessment Manual,
version III and, Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (1965).
The Dyadic Relationship Scale was
used to measure the
relationship of the participants with their partner while the Rosenberg Self-esteem
Scale was used to measure
self-esteem of the participants. Task accomplishment,
communication
and affective expression are three
of the seven subscales taken
from Dyadic Relationship Scale in this study.
By using purposive sampling
method,75 out of 120 Christians from
Grace Baptist Church Kuching were
taken
as the sample. The result shows that there is
relationship between quality in
relationship and self-
esteem. The hypothesis of difference of the
Christians’ self-
esteem
base on demographic factors was accepted. There is no difference of individuals’ self-esteem
base on the demographic factor of gender.
Communication in marital relationship is found to have no relationship with
self-esteem. However,
the researcher
found that there is relationship between task
accomplishment and self-
esteem, and affective expression and self-
esteem.This shows that
task accomplishment and
affective expression is an important element
in marital relationship as they
affect Christians’ self-
esteem and Christian’s self-esteem might
be affected by task accomplishment and affective expression in marital relationship. |
