Depending on the country, students were recruited in different ways (e.g., students, acquaintances of the researchers, participants of vocational courses, inhabitants of home towns of the researchers etc.). The data were collected from July 2012 to December 2013 by the co-authors and their respective research teams in their home countries. The study was conducted according to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. The dataset is introduced in order to supplement previous studies conducted typically on Westernized samples. We measured gender, age, duration of marriage, religiosity, number of children, economic status, education and individualism/collectivism. The current dataset gathers the data about marital satisfaction and its potential correlates from 33 Western and non-Western countries. For example, fulfilling familial duties may be beneficial for marital satisfaction in a traditional Chinese marriage (Wang, 1994), whereas fulfilling hedonistic goals of husbands and wives seems to predict marital satisfaction in Western countries (e.g., Lalonde et al., 2004). Collectivistic and individualistic cultures have different cultural norms, values, and familial obligations (Hofstede, 2001). The criteria of a satisfying marriage may vary greatly based on one's larger cultural context, specifically on whether the culture primarily identifies as a collectivistic or an individualistic one (Dillon and Beechler, 2010). Below, we review the central variables that are likely to be related to marital satisfaction.Ĭultural considerations (collectivism vs. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the raw data available for anybody interested in further examining any relations between them and other country-level scores obtained elsewhere. While we acknowledge the differences existing both between- and within-cultures, we measured marital satisfaction and several factors that might potentially correlate with it based on self-report data from individuals across 33 countries. Meanwhile, marital relationships are heavily guided by culturally determined norms, customs, and expectations (for review see Berscheid, 1995 Fiske et al., 1998). Yet, similarly to many other psychological constructs (Henrich et al., 2010), marital satisfaction and its correlates have been investigated almost exclusively in Western countries (e.g., Bradbury et al., 2000).
