Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar el efecto del perdón sobre la satisfacción marital en una muestra de 96 parejas heterosexuales, incorporando una perspectiva sistémica. Para ello, se realizó un estudio transversal, con un diseño no experimental, en el que ambos miembros de la díada completaron el Transgression-Related Interpersonal Motivations Inventory (McCullough et al., 1998) y la Marital Satisfaction Scale (Roach et al., 1981). Los resultados permiten concluir que la tendencia a la evitación y los pensamientos de venganza predicen menor satisfacción marital en hombres y mujeres. Asimismo, se observó que existe asociación directa entre las conductas de evitación y venganza desarrolladas por uno de los miembros de la pareja y el mismo tipo de conductas en el otro. Adicionalmente, se identificó que es la evitación de los hombres y la venganza de las mujeres la que tiene un efecto negativo sobre la satisfacción del compañero/a romántico.
The objective of this study is to evaluate from a systematic perspective the effect of forgiveness on marital satisfaction in a sample of 96 Chilean heterosexual couples. A cross-sectional study with a non-experimental design was conducted. Both members of the dyad completed the Transgression-Related Interpersonal Motivations Inventory (McCullough et al., 1998) and the Marital Satisfaction Scale (Roach et al., 1981). The results lead to the conclusion that the tendency to avoid the partner and thoughts of revenge predict lower marital satisfaction both in men and women. It was also noted that there is a direct association between avoidance and revenge carried out by one of the partners and the same type of behavior carried out by the other. Moreover, it was found that avoidance conduct by men and revenge on the part of women have a negative effect on companionship/romantic satisfaction.
