Abstract
In a randomized groups design 50 couples including 50 husbands and 50
wives belonging to joint and nuclear families were tested to study the
presence of anima and animas contributory role in both spouses towards
family dyadic and it relationship with joint and nuclear families.
Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) for family dyadic and The Masculine and
Feminine Self-Disclosure Scale (MFSDS) were used to measure
participants’ masculinity (anima) and femininity (animus) role in both
spouses as contributory factor toward family dyadic in both family
types. It was assumed that some useful information would emerge? SPSS
was used for responses analysis. Significant .correlation between MFSDS
.532**and DAS.657** found. MFSDS
predicted DAS significantly F (df = 97) = 54.37, p
<.001. Traditional binary role were not much clear, a non
significant relationship was found between family types and participants
scores on both tests. The findings pointed toward further dyadic focus
for contributory role of masculinity and femininity levels of spouses in
both family types.
