Abstract:
The present study explored the relationship of depressive symptoms with marital satisfaction and social support in a sample of 95 married couples from Greek urban and rural areas. The actor-partner interdependence model was used to analyze data both on an individual and a dyadic level. The results indicated a strong negative correlation between depression and marital satisfaction, which is moderated by the partner’s marital satisfaction and perceived spousal support. Both gender and place of residence were found to play a role in the relationship between depression, marital satisfaction, and social support. The relationship between social support from friends and depression was negative for men, when their marital satisfaction was low, but positive for women. In addition, the negative relationship between depression and spousal support was stronger among couples living in rural areas. The results are discussed in light of the literature regarding depression in marriage, gender differences, and collectivism in Greek society.
