Lateralization and Marital Satisfaction

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between lateralization and marital satisfaction. The samples consisted of couples in the Iranian city of Hamedan, of whom 200 participants (100 couples) were randomly selected through cluster sampling. Data collection tools used included Enrich couple scales and demographic questionnaire that were made by the researchers. For data analysis, in addition to descriptive statistics, coefficient of rho-spearman correlation and multiple regression were used. Data analysis identified that left-handedness and right-handedness did not show don’t have significant correlation with marital satisfaction (p>0.05). But mixed manual preferences (no-preference for either hand) has significant correlation with marital satisfaction (p<0.01). Therefore, it can be concluded that marital satisfaction seems to be correlated with lateralization.
