Abstract
This study aimed to explore Caryl Rusbult’s model validity for explaining women
remaining in an abusive relationship for available sample of 35 Jordanian abused women and
living in the abusive relationship who are contacting the women and child health center in Prince
Faisal Hospital. The World Health Organization (WHO) Domestic Violence (DV) scale and
Rusbult’s Investment Model Scale (IMS) were used. The results revealed low levels of Marriage
Satisfaction (MS) and Quality of Alternatives (QA). Moderate levels of Relationship Investment
size (RI) and Marriage Commitment (MC) were found. The result also indicated that there were
not significant statistical differences between the IMS scale dimensions (MS, RI and QA) and
women's commitment in relationship variable. The results indicated the validity of the
investment model to be applied to Jordanian culture.
