Abstract
This research aimed to study the relationship between self-regulation,
body image and martial satisfaction among married females. It was
hypothesized that there is a relationship between self-regulation, body
image and martial satisfaction among married females. A sample of 100
females was taken by using convenient sampling technique to collect the
data, residing in different areas of Lahore. A self-made demographic
questionnaire, Self-Regulation Scale (Brown, Miller, & Lawendowski,
1999), Body Esteem Scale (Beverley & Mendelson, 1997) and Enrich
Martial Satisfaction Scale (Blaine & David, 1993) was used to collect the
data. Data was analyzed by using correlation, independent sample t-test,
and regression analysis. Results revealed positive relationship between
self-regulation, body image and martial satisfaction among married
females, whereas there was no significant difference in self-regulation,
body image and martial satisfaction on the basis of family system and type
of marriage. Regression analysis revealed that martial satisfaction was
strong predicator of body image. Results were discussed in comparison to
the western and indigenous researches.
Keywords: Self-Regulation, Body Image, Martial Satisfaction.
