Author(s):
Abstract:
Introduction
It is essential to suggest a model which will be able to guide researchers to best predictions in future studies by precise evaluation of new, highly capable predicor models along with comparing them to current statistical methods and finding their strong and weak points. The purpose of this study was comparison of Artificial Neural Networks and Regression methods in prediction of marital satisfaction on the based on personality characteristics. Method
This correlation study was performed on 300 spouses residing in 3 university dormitories of Tehran, who were selected by random multi-stage sampling method in year 2008. Data was collected by NEO-Five Factor Inventory and ENRICH Inventory questionnaires and was analyzed using Multi Layer Perseptron Artificial Neural Network, multiple regression analyses, correlation analyses and independent t-test by MATLAB 6.5 and SPSS 16 softwares. Results
Artificial Neural Network was more successful than regression methods in prediction of marital satisfaction based on personality characteristics (p<0.05). Factors of male neuroticism, male conscientiousness and female conscientiousness explained for 24.4% of variance of male marital satisfaction (p<0.037). Conclusion
Results of current research provides a background for designing a dynamic model of Artificial Neural Network with capability of marital satisfaction prediction and this will have a great effect on family council quality in Iran.Language:
