Coronavirus conditions have caused stress in people and have imposed much damage on them. Traumatic conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) cause dysfunctional relationships and even violence between spouses. The present study was an attempt to predict domestic violence against women during coronavirus quarantine based on cognitive flexibility with the mediating role of resilience. The present correlational type of study was conducted on a sample of 241 married women in the Karaj city by using the violence against women questionnaire (VTWI), cognitive flexibility inventory (CFI), and resilience scale (CD-RISC). The results of the present study revealed that the direct and positive effects of psychological flexibility on the components of controllability perception and the direct and positive effects of behavior justification perception on resilience were significant. There was a significant and positive relationship between resilience and domestic violence. Resilience also mediated the relationship between the components of controllability perception and behavior justification perception and domestic violence. Results of the present study revealed that women's psychological factors play a major role in causing violence towards them, and therapists can consider these factors in the treatment sessions of women under violence to reduce violence towards women.
