Quality of couple's relationship and their marital adjustment are influenced by several factors. Basic psychological needs and parental bondings are considered as important determinants for marital adjustment and quality of their relationships. The present study aimed to examine the moderating role of parental bonding on the relationship between basic psychological needs satisfaction and marital adjustment. A total of 278 married individuals (131 men, 147 women) living in Yazd city participated in the study. Participants were asked to complete the Basic Needs Satisfaction in General Scale (BNSG-S), Golombok Rust Inventory of Marital State (GRIMS), and Parental Bonding Inventory (PBI). Results showed that basic psychological needs satisfaction had a significant positive association with marital adjustment. Parental care and parental over protection showed positive and negative associations with marital adjustment, respectively. The relationship between basic psychological needs satisfaction and marital adjustment was moderated only by maternal care. According to the findings of the present study, it can be concluded that the relationship between basic psychological needs satisfaction and marital adjustment is not a simple linear one, but somewhat is influenced by parental bonding.

One of the long-term consequences of the parenting styles is the effect it has on the marital satisfaction of the children. An association between the basic psychological need satisfaction with parenting styles and marital satisfaction of the children has been approved. The aim of the present study was to examine the moderating role of basic psychological need satisfaction on the relationship between parenting styles and children's marital satisfaction. Two hundred and seventeen (123 women and 94 men) married participants completed Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ), Basic Needs Satisfaction in General Scale (BNSG-S), and the Golombok Rust Inventory of Marital State (GRIMS). The results indicated that the authoritative and permissive parenting styles had a positive significant association with marital satisfaction of their children, whereas the authoritarian style used by parents had a negative significant association with their offspring's marital satisfaction. The results also revealed that the authoritative parenting style had a positive significant relationship with the basic need satisfaction, whereas the mothers' authoritarian style had a negative significant relationship with the basic need satisfaction. No significant relationship was found between the fathers' authoritarian style and the permissive parenting style with the basic needs satisfaction. The results also revealed that the basic psychological need satisfaction moderated the relationship between the mothers' permissive style and their offspring's marital satisfaction. According to the findings of the present study, it can be concluded that the levels of children’s marital satisfaction are possibly influenced by their basic psychological need satisfaction as well as the parenting styles.
