摘要

This study explores the relationship between self-efficacy in romantic relationships and marital satisfaction, focusing on the mediating role of the sense of power. Data from 311 married couples (N = 622) were analyzed. The average age of female participants was 32.56 (SD = 8.35), while male participants had an average age of 35.13 (SD = 9.22). 35.4% of couples had been married for over 10 years, and 55.9% had at least one child. Most participants held at least a high school degree. Using the actor-partner interdependence mediation model and dyadic method, analyses showed that both women and men exhibited positive significant relationships between self-efficacy in romantic relationships, sense of power, and marital satisfaction. Partner effects were similarly significant. The mediation tests confirmed that sense of power plays a key role in the relationship between self-efficacy in romantic relationships and marital satisfaction, with acceptable model fit indices. The findings highlight the importance of power dynamics in romantic relationships and suggest that these factors should be considered in couple therapy and interventions to enhance relationship satisfaction.
