A structural model for prediction of couple burnout based on sensation seeking, perfectionism and emotion regulation strategies with the mediation of resiliency in married women
Abstract
Background: Numerous studies have examined the causes of marital boredom and excitement, perfectionism, emotion regulation strategies, and couple resilience. However, research on the development of a structural model for predicting marital boredom based on excitement, perfectionism, and emotion regulation strategies has been neglected through the mediation of resilience in married women. Aims: aim of this study was to provide a couple burnout model of married women based on variables of sensation seeking, perfectionism and emotion regulation strategies with resiliency mediation. Method: This research was kind of modeling and path analysis, in which 256 married female students of different Islamic Azad University Branches of Tehran participated in the academic year of 2017-2018. The experimental group was selected through multi-stage random sampling. collect data associated with the subject, Couple Burnout (Pines, 1996), Sensation Seeking (Zuckerman, 1971), Perfectionism (Hill, 2004), Cognitive Emotion Regulation (Garnefski, 2000) and Resilience Scale (Connor-Davidson, 2003) were used and Data were analyzed using structural model tests and path analysis. Results: This means that the relationships of these variables can be better examined through the present study model. The degree of variance explained by the main endogenous variable of the model, the couple burnout, through five variables is equal to 0/32. approximately 32% of the variance of the main dependent variable is explained by the model variables, and 68% of its variance is related to external variables of the model. Sensation seeking and adaptive and cognitive emotion regulation mechanisms have a direct relationship with couple burnout of women (p≤ 0/0/001). There was no relationship between perfectionism with couple burnout and resiliency of married women. Resiliency has a significant negative relationship with couple burnout of women(p≤ 0/0/001). the results of evaluating fitness indexes indicated that the final model of the research fitted with the collected data in acceptable manner and conceptual model of the research is confirmed. Conclusions: Given the relationship between emotion seeking, emotion regulation strategies, and resilience with marital disgust, it can be said that investing in improving emotion seeking, emotion regulation strategies, and resilience of married women can improve women's marital quality of life.
