| Sumario: | Social anxiety and stress are increasingly relevant concerns in contemporary society, particularly because of their potential impact on family and marital relationships. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to determine whether stress and social anxiety predict marital satisfaction among employees of Universidad Peruana Unión, Juliaca campus. Data from 320 married employees were analyzed, of whom 31.6% were women and 68.4% were men. The study employed a quantitative approach with a predictive-correlational scope and a non-experimental, cross-sectional design. Participants were selected through non-probability convenience sampling. Data were collected using instruments previously validated in the Peruvian context and with adequate psychometric properties: the Global Perceived Stress Scale (PGE), the Social Anxiety Questionnaire for Adults (SAQ), and the Marital Satisfaction Scale for Peruvian Workers (SMTP). Regression analysis indicated that stress (β = −0.549, p < .05) and social anxiety (β = −0.667, p < .05) significantly predicted marital satisfaction (adjusted R² = .682). In addition, a strong positive correlation was found between stress and social anxiety (r = .851, p < .05). Conversely, stress was negatively correlated with marital satisfaction (r = −.530, p < .05), and social anxiety was also negatively correlated with marital satisfaction (r = −.660, p < .05). In conclusion, the findings indicate that stress and social anxiety are significant predictors of marital satisfaction among employees of Universidad Peruana Unión, Juliaca campus. |
