| Popis: | We examined the effects of self esteem development on the development of relationship satisfaction in 2 samples of couples. Study 1 used data from both partners of 885 couples assessed 5 times over 12 years and Study 2 used data from both partners of 6116 couples assessed 3 times over 15 years. The pattern of results was similar across the 2 studies. First development of relationship satisfaction could be modeled as a couple level process. Second initial level of self esteem of each partner predicted the initial level of the partners' common relationship satisfaction and change in self esteem of each partner predicted change in the partners' common relationship satisfaction. Third these effects did not differ by gender and held when controlling for participants' age length of relationship health and employment status. Fourth self esteem similarity among partners did not influence the development of their relationship satisfaction. The findings suggest that the development of self esteem in both partners of a couple contributes in a meaningful way to the development of the partners' common satisfaction with their relationship.
