This initiative could be used to understand the effectiveness of marriage therapy as a form of marriage intervention.
The study was undertaken on 876 couples who had experienced marital conflict at one point in their marriage. The study was quantitative in nature but was vulnerable to the fact that response from correspondents couldn't be verified. It was established that couples who had premarital education were less likely to experience marital problems. Marriage therapy was also established to be a strong and effective form of marriage intervention (Doss, 2010).

This article was aimed at establishing procedures used by most couples in marriage preparation. The problem of study involved the failure of most couples to undertake marriage preparation in modern society. The study was done on 350 couples who had undertaken marriage preparations before their wedding. Marriage preparation was noted to be carried out by friends and family members.
It was established that marriage preparation was a personal initiative by most couples and only traditional couples were inclined to insist on it. The church was also identified to undertake marriage preparation on behalf of couples who were staunch followers of their faith. The major set back to this study was the use of probability to summarize the data. The report was however based on a quantitative analysis (Mishra, 2009).

In an introduction study, they set up cross-cultural sameness of fifty daily events. In the chief study, people in the United States, Korea, and Japan filled out day after day surveys on the fifty actions and daily happiness for twenty one days. The multilevel random coefficient model examination showed that the within-person connection between optimistic events and daily happiness was considerably stronger amid Asian-American, Korean, and Japanese participants than
Another near-contemporary of Rogers and Maslow is Albert Bandura, whose social learning theory is more part of the behaviorist school than the humanist, though these are not as dissimilar as is often thought (Bandura 2010; Ricks & Wandersman 1982).

Psychology Application of E. Kubler-Ross Theory to Real Life Loss Kubler-Ross Theory Stages of Bereavement in relation to Real Life Loss Elizabeth Kubler-Ross posits a theory that the process of loss and grief can be measured in seven distinct steps - shock, denial, anger, negotiation, depression, acceptance, and hope.
