Abstract

Aim. To study the influence of the factor of satisfaction with marriage on the success of sociopsychological adaptation of women who married foreigners.

Methodology. The study was conducted based on social networks using a Google form. The sample consisted of 65 women who moved to a new country in connection with marriage with foreigners, of which 41 were satisfied with their marriage and 24 were not satisfied. The following methods were used: “Questionnaire of interpersonal relations” edited by A. Rukavishnikova, “Types of Ethnic Identity” by G. U. Soldatova and S. V. Ryzhova, Rogers-Diamond’s “Test Questionnaire for Social and Psychological Adaptation” edited by A. K. Osnitsky. To analyze the obtained data, descriptive statistics and correlation analysis the Spearman correlation coefficient were used.

Results revealed differences in adaptation between groups of women who were satisfied and dissatisfied with their relationships. It was found that these differences can be assessed from the perspective of interpersonal communication. The type of ethno-cultural adaptation is not associated with differences in the adaptation of women who moved to a new country due to marriage.

Research implications. Lie in clarifying the ideas about the factors influencing the success of the socio-psychological adaptation of women who married foreigners. The data obtained can be used by practical psychologists and social workers to provide adequate assistance and support.
