Abstract :Marital attitudes have central importance on marital relationships. In current study, the possible role of marital attitudes as mediator on the relationship between respect toward partner and subjective happiness is aimed to be examined. Participants were 180 teachers who completed a questionnaire package that included the Marital Attitudes Scale, Respect toward Partner Scale and the Subjective Happiness Scale. Findings demonstrated that subjective happiness is predicted positively by marital attitudes and respect toward partner. Marital attitudes are predicted positively by respect toward partner. Also the relationship between respect toward partner and subjective happiness is partially mediated by marital attitudes. The results and their implications are discussed within the scope of the related literature with recommendations for further research and practice.
