Komitmen pernikahan sebagai motivasi untuk melanjutkan hubungan dalam pernikahan dan kewajiban moral dalam mempertahankan pernikahan (Johnson, Caughlin, & Huston, 1999). Johnson, dkk., membagi komitmen menjadi tiga, yaitu personal komitmen, moral komitmen, dan struktural komitmen. Ketiga komitmen pernikahan ini, dapat dibedakan berdasarkan tipe pasangan. Tipe pasangan terbagi menjadi empat, yaitu tradisional, terpisah, independen, dan campuran (Fitzpatrick, 1988). Kedua konstruk ini belum banyak diteliti di Indonesia, terutama pada pasangan taaruf. Penelitian ini menggunakan 62 partisipan atau 31 pasangan yang menikah melalui taaruf, dengan menggunakan alat ukur Relational Dimensional Inventory (RDI) dikembangkan oleh Fitzpatrick (1988, dalam Rubin, Palmgreen & Sypher, 1991). Sedangkan alat ukur komitmen pernikahan dikembangkan oleh Johnson, Caughlin, & Huston (1999). Hasil penelitian ini, membuktikan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan komitmen secara signifikan berdasarkan tipe pasangan yang menikah melalui taaruf. Marital commitment as motivation to continue the marital relationship and the moral obligation to maintain marriage (Johnson, Caughlin, & Huston, 1999). Johnson, et all., divide into three commitments specifically personal commitment, moral commitment, and structural commitment. The marital commitment, can be distinguished by couples type. Couples type are divided into four types, that is traditional, independent, separate, and mixed couples. Both of these constructs have not been studied in Indonesia, especially in arranged marriage (taaruf) couples. This study used 62 participants or 31 married couples by arranged marriage (taaruf). The measurement of couples type is Relational Dimensional Inventory (RDI) developed by Fitzpatrick (1988, in Rubin, Palmgreen & Sypher, 1991). While the marital commitment used inventory marital commitment developed by Johnson, Caughlin, & Huston (1999). This research proves that these are no significant differences regarding couples type in arranged married (taaruf) couples. |
