The final results of the study were as follows: First, Husbands appeared to maintain a strong solidarity with their native kin than with the kin-in-law, while wives were proved to be more active with their kin-in-law in terms of showing courtesy behavior. However, wives also disclosed either bilateral or native tendency in regards to other kinship behavior shown towards their kin and kin-in-law. Variables such as economic status, children, etc. may influence the kinship behavior of the wives. Wives show highly positive kinship behavior to kin-in-law if the economic status of their kin-in-law were considered better compared to that of their native kin. In addition, wives without maternal experience were more active in the relationship with both their native kin and kin-in-law. Second, Positive correlation between the kinship behavior expressed to the native kin and the satisfaction of the spouse in regards to the behavior was found only in courtesy behaviors. However, positive correlation between the kinship behavior expressed to the kin-in-law and the relevant satisfaction of the spouse was dominant in ordinary behavior, courtesy behaviors and activities such as household assistant.
