HISPANIC AND CAUCASIAN COUPLES HAVE SIMILAR "COUPLES
TYPES" on ENRICH:
A
study just completed by David Olson and Jeffery Garrett using the
ENRICH Couple Inventory found almost identical
percentages in the five couple types with
Hispanic and Caucasian marriages.
Although
it is often assumed that different ethnic groups will have different
patterns of marriage, this study found considerable similarity in
couple types (based on ENRICH scores) across four
ethic combinations of married couples (both
Hispanic, both Caucasian, Hispanic Male/Caucasian Female
and Hispanic Female/Caucasian Male). Sample size for each group was
about 400-500 married couples.
A
very similar percentage of married couples from these four ethic
combinations fell into the five ENRICH couples types:
VITALIZED (20-25%), HARMONIOUS(5-10%),
TRADITIONAL (10-15%), CONFLICTED (20-25%)and DEVITALIZED
(28-35%).
Similar
results were previously found when African American couples were
compared with Caucasian couples on the five ENRICH
Couple types. This earlier study was done by
Dr. Bill Allen and Dr. David Olson.
In
summary, these two studies support the value and validity of the
five couple types based on ENRICH for use with
Hispanic, African American and Caucasian
marriages. This is an important finding since it confirms that
marriages across ethnic groups are more similar than
different.
