Abstract :
Self-efficacy can be defined as the ability to
perform specific acts in order to attain a given outcome,
or it can be seen as a catalyst for an increase in well-being
of people [15]. Therefore, Self- efficacy in relation with
marital satisfaction is a motivation of this study which
explains why marriage has social significance and is
essential to both societal structure and individual well-
being as opined in [1]. However, marriage is perceived as a
genuine source of fulfillment and pleasure among married
people according to [15] and to this end, marital-
satisfaction is regarded as the most crucial element of a
marriage bond [2]. Marital-satisfaction is the state in
which men and women in marriage union are generally
satisfied in their union and are happy with each other
[17] [13]. The self-efficacy of married women in relation
with marital-satisfaction in this study, was investigated
and characterized, while the population samples w e r e
d r a w n f r o m middle-aged married women between
the ages of 35 to 55years old and young married women
in their 20s. Well-structured Self-Efficacy and Marital-
Satisfaction Questionnaires were designed and used as
the instrument of data collection. The findings indicate
that self-efficacy mean calculation of married women
between the ages of 35 to 55years is 21.82 with T-value of
0.27, while the self-efficacy mean calculation of young
married women is 21.28 with T-value calculated as 0.86.
The relationship factor between the variables of self-
efficacy and marital-satisfaction had 0.40 of association.
Therefore, there is positive correlation between self-
efficacy and marital-satisfaction.
