Emotional communication and economic factors play an important role in having a satisfying relationship and a more successful marriage. In this regard, we investigated the 10-year outcome of partners from three different economic levels regarding the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and marital satisfaction.
The research was designed as a descriptive-correlative survey and data were analyzed using Pearson correlation test and stepwise regression.
Participants were 159 couples (N = 318) who were randomly selected through clustered sampling. The questionnaires included: Bar-on Emotional Intelligence (1997) and Enrich Marital satisfaction (1989).
The findings revealed that the average values of emotional intelligence (m = 333.1) and marital satisfaction (m = 300.77) were high in the under-rich region (p<0.05). Moreover, there was no significant relationship between interpersonal and marital satisfaction within the under-rich region. On average, emotional intelligence accounted for 40.8% of marital satisfaction within those three regions (p<0.01).
The results of the regression analysis showed that general mood is the most effective factor changing marital satisfaction in the three studied regions (R2= 0.34), rich (R2= 0.42) and semi-rich (R2= 0.52) regions (p<0.01). The most influential factor changing marital satisfaction in the under-rich (R2= 0.28) region was found to be stress management (p<0.01).
情感交流和经济因素在拥有令人满意的关系和更成功的婚姻中起着重要作用。在这方面，我们调查了来自三个不同经济水平的伴侣在十年间关于情商（EI）与婚姻满意度之间的关系。
本研究设计为描述性相关调查，并使用皮尔逊相关检验和逐步回归分析数据。
参与者为159对夫妇（N = 318），通过整群抽样随机选取。问卷包括：巴昂情商问卷（1997年）和恩里奇婚姻满意度问卷（1989年）。
研究结果显示，在经济欠发达地区，情商平均值（m = 333.1）和婚姻满意度平均值（m = 300.77）较高（p<0.05）。此外，在经济欠发达地区，人际情商与婚姻满意度之间无显著关系。平均而言，在这三个地区中，情商占婚姻满意度的40.8%（p<0.01）。
回归分析结果表明，总体情绪是三个研究地区（经济发达地区R2 = 0.34、经济富裕地区R2 = 0.42和经济中等富裕地区R2 = 0.52）中改变婚姻满意度的最有效因素（p<0.01）。在经济欠发达地区（R2 = 0.28），改变婚姻满意度的最具影响力因素是压力管理（p<0.01）。
