Actor-Partner Effects of Social Well-Being, Financial Well-Being, Marital Satisfaction, and Support on Psychological Well-Being in Interfaith Couples: An APIM Approach

This study investigated the actor-partner effects of social well-being, financial well-being, marital satisfaction, and support on psychological well-being in husband-and-wife dyads with interfaith marriages. In this quantitative cross-sectional study, the study sample consisted of 127 interfaith couples from India. Dyadic data, collected separately from husbands and wives, were analyzed using the APIM_SEM. The APIM results identified that husbands’ and wives’ social and financial well-being, marital satisfaction, and support had an actor effect on their psychological well-being, while partner effects were observed only with men’s social support and men’s and women’s community support. This study underscores the multifaceted effects on psychological well-being in husband-wife dyads with interfaith marriages.
