Survey Data on Physical Activity and Marital Satisfaction Among Tunisian Teachers

Haifa Snani published a dataset on 2026-04-17 containing survey results from 924 married teachers in Tunisia. The data supports a structural equation model exploring how physical activity relates to marital satisfaction through mediators like self-esteem and psychological distress. The model accounted for 63% of the variance in marital satisfaction.

Use Cases

• Test mediation models based on the described pathways between physical activity, self-esteem, distress, and marital satisfaction.
• Replicate the structural equation modeling analysis based on the reported beta coefficients and R-squared values.
• Analyze correlations between spirituality, physical activity, and marital satisfaction as described in the results.
• Study the psychometric properties of the Arabic Ironson-Woods Spirituality/Religiousness Index, which had a reported Cronbach's alpha of 0.961.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on a sample of 924 married teachers, providing a substantial sample size for analysis.
• The study used validated instruments including the Dyadic Adjustment Scale and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale.
• The overall model accounted for 63% of the variance in marital satisfaction, indicating strong explanatory power for the measured variables.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The cross-sectional design, noted in the description, prevents causal inference from the data.
