The present global study attempts to verify the links between marital satisfaction and the number of children as well as its moderators in an international sample. Data for the study was obtained from our published dataset and included 7178 married individuals from 33 countries and territories. We found that the number of children was a significant negative predictor of marital satisfaction; also sex, education, and religiosity were interacting with the number of children and marital satisfaction, while there were no interactions with economic status and individual level of individualistic values. The main contribution of the present research is extending our knowledge on the relationship between marital satisfaction and the number of children in several, non-Western countries and territories.
本全球研究旨在验证婚姻满意度与子女数量之间的联系，并在国际样本中对其进行调节。本研究的数据来自我们已发表的数据集，包括来自 33 个国家和地区的 7178 对已婚个体。研究结果表明，子女数量是婚姻满意度的显著负预测因素；同时，性别、教育程度和宗教信仰与子女数量和婚姻满意度存在交互作用，而与经济地位和个体的个人主义价值观水平没有交互作用。本研究的主要贡献在于扩展了我们对婚姻满意度与几个非西方国家和地区子女数量之间关系的认识。
