The purpose of this study was to explore how implicit relationship beliefs and conflict
resolution styles influence marital satisfaction. The sample comprised of 65 couples i.e.
130 individuals (husbands = 65, wives = 65). Correlational analysis was carried out to
find a relationship amongst the study variables; Path analysis was performed through
AMOS to validate the mediating relationship of conflict resolution style and implicit beliefs
in predicting marital satisfaction. Results showed that among five conflict resolution
styles only accommodating and competing style was significantly correlated with marital
satisfaction. The AMOS showed a partially mediating path between implicit beliefs
(destiny), competing conflict resolution style and marital satisfaction. This approves
the presence of mediating relationship between implicit beliefs and conflict styles in
predicting marital satisfaction.
