Abstract

The current research aimed to analyze the moderation effect of marital satisfaction and social support in the relationship between premigratory expectative and vital satisfaction. In the study 81 Latin-American immigrant females who had regrouped their families. The results showed that both premigratory expectative and social support correlated with vital satisfaction. However, only marital satisfaction had a significant moderation effect, so this variable muffles the negative effect that non-realistic expectative have on vital satisfaction. These results can have practical implications from the viewpoint of psychotherapeutic work with immigrant people in the incoming country. Finally, limitations of the study are discussed and possible future research lines are proposed. © 2019 AIDEP. All rights reserved.
