INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STRESSORS OF INTERRACIAL MARRIAGES: IMPLICATIONS FOR COUNSELING PSYCHOLOGY
Abstract
This report compared internal and external stressors of interracial marriages to those involved in black marriages and white marriages. The Marital Satisfaction Inventory was used to determine stressors internal to the marriages (for example, finances, sexual dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction with children). The Societal Perceptions Questionnaire, developed for this study, was used to identify external stressors relevant to the marriages (for example, isolation or alienation from family, friends and neighbors). A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) with an alpha level of.05 was performed to determine the significance of differences among interracial, black and white group responses. Results indicate that there are no significant differences among the groups. Finally, implications of these results were discussed and suggestions for future research were presented.
