Cette etude vise a determiner la valeur d'une evaluation subjective directe des emotions ou des affects ressentis au sein des relations de couple. Pour ce faire, nous verifierons si-au-dela des relations observees entre la satisfaction conjugale, d'une part, et, d'autre part, la personnalite, les symptomes psychologiques et le style d'attachement-l'evaluation subjective directe des emotions ajoute a notre comprehension de l'adaptation conjugale. L'echantillon se compose de 204 couples francophones maries ou cohabitant. Les resultats laissent entrevoir des differences liees au sexe et au degre de detresse conjugale. Les femmes eprouvent plus d'insecurite, d'injustice, de devalorisation et d'impuissance que les hommes. Les conjoints insatisfaits se demarquent par la presence de forts sentiments d'insecurite, d'injustice, de devalorisation et d'impuissance. This present study examined the relationship between interpersonal affects, personality, psychological distress, attachment and marital adjustment. More specifically, we hypothesized that the inclusion of a direct subjective evaluation of interpersonal affects would add to our understanding of marital adjustment, even when other variables (personality, psychological distress, attachment) are being taken into account. The sample included 204 heterosexual French Canadian married or cohabiting couples. Results showed that women experienced more feelings of insecurity, unfairness, depreciation and powerlessness than men. Also, individuals whowere less satisfied with their marriage reported more feelings of insecurity, unfairness, depreciation and powerlessness.
