  • Title: The effects of differentiation of self, adult attachment, and sexual communication on sexual and marital satisfaction: a path analysis.
    Author: Timm TM, Keiley MK.
    Journal: J Sex Marital Ther; 2011; 37(3):206-23. PubMed ID: 21512940.
    Abstract:
    This article explores the relations among differentiation of self, adult attachment, sexual communication, sexual satisfaction, and marital satisfaction, in a path analysis model. In a sample of 205 married adults, the path analysis results indicated that (a) differentiation of self had no direct effect on marital or sexual satisfaction, although it was significantly related to sexual communication; (b) adult attachment had a direct effect on marital satisfaction, but not on sexual satisfaction; (c) sexual communication is a mediating variable; (d) sexual communication was positively related to sexual satisfaction and marital satisfaction; and (e) no gender differences existed in the model.
