Abstract
The survey was aimed at testing and verifying the hypothesis based on the transactional analysis theory. The assumption stated that there was an indicative correlation between egogram profiles, styles of interpersonal interaction and the level of marital satisfaction. The sample included 36 married couples from urban environments. The following instruments were used for data collection: Ego State Questionnaire, Interpersonal Profile Scale, Index of Marital Satisfaction and Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale. The statistical methods used for the analysis of the collected data were Chi-Square Analysis and F-test. The study showed a statistically significant difference between the theoretical and the empirical distribution of frequencies of replies collected through the applied instruments. The results showed that, in certain circumstances, the difference in interpersonal styles of partners, even if complementary, as well as functional personality profiles could represent indicators of potential marital challenges and difficulties.
