| Summary: | This study investigates the measurement model of negotiation styles and marital satisfaction among married couple in Nigeria. To achieve the purpose a cross-sectional survey design was adopted with a sample of 385 married couples in Kwara state Nigeria. The instruments used are tagged ‘Negotiation Styles and Marital Satisfaction Scales’ which contained 40 items spread among the 8 sub-constructs, a 4 level Likert type was adopted throughout the scale. The data collected was entered into Microsoft Excel 2016 and SPSS 20 for data cleaning and filtered to the SmartPLS 3. The data was checked for normality using two indicators: Skewness and Kurtosis. The data analysis was conducted using Partial least square structural equation modelling approaches with SmartPLS 3 software. The measurement models were evaluated by items loading, composite reliability (CR) and average variance extracted (AVE). The results revealed that the measurement model assessed in this study showed acceptability with validity and reliability tests results presented in the preceding sections. The convergent validity was examined through the factor loadings, composite reliability (CR), and average variance extracted (AVE). Thus with the satisfaction of all the measurement requirements, it can be concluded that the developed Negotiation Styles and Marital Satisfaction Scales validated in this study can be used to assess the Negotiation Styles and Marital Satisfaction Scales among married couples in Nigeria. |
