Abstract

The study investigated interpersonal dependency as a predictor of marital satisfaction among female tutors. One hundred (100) participants, with 54 females and 34 males, with an age range of 30 years, with a mean of 35.68 and standard deviation of 5.79, were selected as participants. Multi-stage sampling techniques were adopted as sampling techniques to draw students from secondary schools in Uvwie LGA of Delta State. The Interpersonal Dependency Inventory (Hirschfield et al., 1977) and the Index of Marital Satisfaction (Hudson, 1982; Anene, 1994) were used for data collection. A correlational design was adopted, while a linear regression using SPSS version 27 was used for data analysis. Findings revealed that interpersonal dependency (emotional reliance sig.= 212, lack of confidence sig.= .157, assertion of autonomy sig.= .462) at p< .05 did not predict marital satisfaction among married female tutors. Future researchers should investigate other factors that can predict marital satisfaction.
