Abstract

The study aimed to reveal statistically significant differences in personal attractiveness, interpersonal relationships, and relationship satisfaction among both sexes in Mecca according to the gender variable, and to determine the optimal model for the relationship between personal attractiveness variables, interpersonal relationships, and relationship satisfaction among married couples (male-female) in Mecca. The research sample of 270 Saudis was selected in a stratified random manner. The descriptive approach, both its correlational and analytical aspects, was used. The results of the research showed that there were differences between the sexes on the personal attractiveness scale, the interpersonal relations scale, and the relationship satisfaction scale in favor of males. While there are no differences between the sexes on the two dimensions of personal attractiveness (social attractiveness - task attractiveness), there are also no differences between the sexes in the measure of interpersonal relations on the two dimensions (self-disclosure - kindness). A number of matching indicators were also extracted, where the values reflect... Approaching 1 or more than 0.90 for each of the indicators (NFI, GFI, CFI, TLI, AGFI) is good evidence of the extent to which the data matches the default model. The results showed that the fit indicators did not fall into the ideal range, so the Modification Indices were referred to (Modification indicators) provided by AMOS software to improve the virtual model.
