Abstract
It is known that the breakup of couples is related to family instability. From this general assumption, the work presented has several objectives: first, to check the different degrees of association or correlation between family variables such as family stress, family communication, family resources in relation to satisfaction and marital instability. Second, design a structural model through the confirmation of the relationships between the variables.
Olson's MASH model has been taken as a starting point, which in the context of crisis theory states that family stress affects family satisfaction with mediating variables such as family functioning, family resources and family communication, and the cascade model of Gottman that predicts, after laboratory studies, that family instability is reached, and, therefore, divorce, in a cascade process from one stage to another by different variables. The unification of both models would give a different view to current studies on the relationship between marital satisfaction and marital instability. The results establish the theoretical relationships proposed through a confirmatory structural model.
We consider that it is of great interest for the mediation professionals, in order to improve their performance and intervention in mediation processes and thus achieve greater effectiveness in their objectives.
