Abstract: (226 Views)
Objective: This study aimed to compare emotional schemas, coping strategies, and marital burnout between individuals with a history of marital infidelity and those without, who are seeking divorce in Tehran. The research is applied in nature and utilizes a post hoc methodological design.
Methods: The statistical population included all couples in Tehran with and without a history of marital infidelity who had referred to counseling centers across various districts of Tehran during the last three months of 2023. Using convenience sampling, a total of 60 participants were selected. The sample was divided into two groups of 30: one group with a history of infidelity and the other without. Participants were matched for 15 men and 15 women in each group. Data were collected using the Emotional Schema Scale (Leahy, 2002), the Coping Strategies Inventory (Lazarus & Folkman, 1988), and the Marital Burnout Scale (Pines, 1996). Following pre-test and post-test administration, the mean scores of the two groups were compared.
Results: Inferential analysis using independent t-tests and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) revealed that emotional schemas, coping strategies, and marital burnout differ significantly between couples with and without a history of marital infidelity in Tehran
Conclusions: The study concludes that a history of marital infidelity significantly predicts higher marital burnout and distinct emotional schemas, highlighting the need for targeted coping strategies in divorce counseling.
