The research method was experimental with pre-test, and post-test design with control and follow-up groups. The statistical population included all women who filed for a divorce (with a history of early marriage) in Ardabil city in 2020. The participants were selected using the convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups; they participated in each treatment for eight sessions of 90 minutes once a week. The interpersonal forgiveness scale (IF-25) and Ryff psychological well-being scale (1989) was used to collect data. Data were then analyzed using the repeated measures analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc test. The findings showed that Affective Reconstructive and Emotional-Focused therapy were effective in increasing forgiveness and psychological well-being in women who filed for a divorce, but the effectiveness of Affective Reconstructive therapy was significantly higher than Emotional-focused therapy.

Marital infidelity is one of the most important injuries and causes of family breakdown that has increased in recent years. Understanding the variables that affect the reduction of psychological problems of people affected by infidelity is very important because it can improve the emotional relationship between couples and reduce the risk of family breakdown. The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of forgiveness in the relationship between loneliness and sexual satisfaction with depression and feelings of inferiority in women affected by infidelity. 250 women affected by infidelity in Tehran were selected using purposive sampling method and participated in this study. Participants completed the Russell & Pilva & Cortona (1980) Loneliness Questionnaire, Larson et al. (1998), Ray et al. (2001), Beck Depression (1996), and Yao et al. (1997). Findings showed that the direct effects of loneliness, sexual satisfaction and forgiveness on depression and feelings of inferiority are significant. The results of path analysis showed that forgiveness has a mediating role in the relationship between loneliness and sexual satisfaction with depression and feelings of inferiority. Based on the research findings, the role of forgiveness in the occurrence and exacerbation of depression and feelings of inferiority can be confirmed. As a result, by providing the necessary training to women affected by infidelity in order to improve forgiveness skills, the harm caused by infidelity can be reduced.

Abstract: The failure of couples in resolving marital problems could be expressed in various forms so that each of them can be a threat to the health of marital relationship. One common type of marital discord is marital dissatisfaction, which is affected by many factors, including lack of differentiation, forgiveness and meaningfulness in life. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of differentiation, life meaningfulness and forgiveness in predicting marital satisfaction among married female students of Islamic Azad University of Dezful. For this purpose, a sample of 256 married female students was selected. Four types of instruments were used: Skowron’s revised Differentiation of Self Questionnaire (DSI-R), the Life-Regard Index (LRI), the Forgiveness scale (FS), and Enrich Couple Scales (ECS). The results showed that a significant positive relationship existed between differentiation, life meaningfulness, and forgiveness and marital satisfaction. Results also showed that differentiation, meaningfulness in life, and forgiveness had a important role in explaining and predicting the variance of marital satisfaction.

The failure of couples in resolving marital problems could be expressed in various forms so that each of them can be a threat to the health of marital relationship. One of the causes of marital disputes is disaffection which is common in many couples and is influenced by many factors including differentiation, neuroticism, forgiveness and martial conflict. The purpose of this study was to examine the causal relationship between differentiation, neuroticism and forgiveness and marital disaffection by mediation of marital conflict. For this purpose, a sample of 300 married male teachers in elementary, middle and high schools of Estahban participated in this study. Participants were asked to respond to the Marital Disaffection Scale (MDS), the Revised Differentiation of Self Questionnaire (DSI-R), the Neuroticism of NEO Five-Factor Personality Inventory (NEO-FFI), the Forgiveness Scale (FS) and Sanai’s Revised Marital Conflicts Questionnaire (MCQ-R). The results showed that all coefficients of the path between variants were statistically significant. Moreover, the direct paths of differentiation, neuroticism, forgiveness and marital conflict to marital disaffection were statistically significant. The direct paths of differentiation, neuroticism and forgiveness to marital conflict were significant as well. Also, the results of this study revealed that the indirect relationship between differentiation, neuroticism and forgiveness and marital disaffection was also significant through marital conflict. It seems that marital disaffection is a complex phenomenon which is influenced by various factors such as differentiation, neuroticism, forgiveness and martial conflict.
