Application and revision of the Kansas marital satisfaction scale for use with Korean couples.
To apply the Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale to Korean couples, one item about the parenting role was added to the original scale. Using survey data from 350 married couples from the urban area of Seoul, Korea, this study investigated the availability of the original and revised forms in Korea. Values of internal consistency of responding, means, standard deviations and Pearson rs for both scales were remarkably consistent in the Korean sample and were good assessments of key dimensions of the marital process of Korean couples with children.
