Abstract

This study delves into the dynamics of relationship satisfaction (RS) among married couples and its crucial significance for mental health and psychological well-being. Survey data encompassing variables such as the general mattering scale, gender inequality in Household Chores scale, kansas marital conflict scale, and relationship assessment scale were gathered from 128 married individuals aged 18 to 65 in urban areas of Malaysia and Indonesia. Participants furnished demographic information including age, gender, and marriage duration. The study variables were assessed through the scales mentioned earlier. The findings, derived from bootstrap analysis involving 5,000 samples at a 95% confidence interval, revealed that the extent of partners' involvement in household chores significantly predicted their perception of gender equality in domestic responsibilities. This perception, in turn, fostered an elevated sense of mattering, thereby contributing to heightened relationship satisfaction. Importantly, the general mattering scale served as a significant mediator in the relationship between partner's household involvement and relationship satisfaction. In summary, couples benefit from partners engaging in domestic chores, resulting in an enhanced sense of mutual significance, greater relationship satisfaction, and improved mental well-being. Marital conflict frequency and intensity did not emerge as significant factors in this relationship.

Abstract

This study investigates the moderated mediation relationship between societal mattering, intercultural competence (ICC), and intercultural helping tendency (IHT) among university students. Societal mattering, reflecting individuals perceived relevance within broader societal contexts, is hypothesized to affect IHT indirectly through ICC. This research aligns with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 (quality education) and SDG 16 (peace, justice, and strong institutions) by advancing evidence on how educational experiences cultivate intercultural understanding and prosocial engagement in diverse communities. The study employs two moderators, namely Model United Nations involvement (MUNI) and new media literacy (NML), to assess their influence on these interactions. Using the G*Power sample size calculator, 97 purposively selected university students were recruited. Data collection utilized validated instruments, including the cultural intelligence scale, helping attitude scale, university mattering scale (UM-S), new media literacy scale (NMLS), and a demographic questionnaire. The data were analyzed using moderated mediation modeling with PROCESS Macro Model 76. Results indicate societal mattering indirectly impacts IHT via ICC, particularly for students with moderate or high MUNI and low NML. The findings highlight MUN value in fostering IHT and ICC, informing policies for multicultural education.
