Is it true that active listening improves relationship satisfaction?
Unclear. The retrieved items only partially support the claim: a 1990 study found listening skills correlated with partners' listening satisfaction, and several sources assert active listening strengthens interpersonal connections or trust, but none measures relationship satisfaction directly.
