ANALYSIS OF FACTORS AFFECTING THE QUALITY OF INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION IN MARRIAGE USING THE FUZZY SIWEC METHOD
The quality of interpersonal communication is one of the foundations of a functional and stable marriage. The aim of this work is to identify and determine the importance of factors that influence the quality of interpersonal communication in marriage using the fuzzy SIWEC (Simple Weight Calculation) method. The research was conducted on a sample of eight experts, who evaluated ten factors that influence the quality of interpersonal communication in marriage using linguistic values. Using the fuzzy SIWEC method, weighting coefficients were calculated for each factor that determined the importance of the selected factors. The results show that the level of mutual trust is the most important factor, followed by emotional stability, communication style and conflict management. The experts rated the level of education and digital communication as the least important factors. The obtained results show that interventions to improve marital relations should prioritize strengthening trust and emotional stability of partners. The contribution of this work is in connecting the methods of multi-criteria analysis with the psychology of family relationships, and in this way it is possible to rank certain factors and determine which factors influence the quality of interpersonal communication in marriage.
