Back to TTM ResultsHow satisfied were the recruitment couples?
As part of the phone screening, we asked the caller to rate their relationship satisfaction on three items: how satisfied are you with your partner, with your relationship, and with how you function as a team. We averaged the scores on the three items to provide a global satisfaction score for each caller. Callers were generally quite satisfied in their relationship and there were no differences between men and women on satisfaction. Less than 10% of participants said they were only somewhat satisfied with their partners, relationship, or teamwork. As you can see from the graph below relationship satisfaction was negatively skewed (clustered at the top of the scale), as is generally the case in newlywed or engaged samples.
