چکیده

پژوهش­های مربوط به ازدواج نشان می‌دهد که مبادلات هیجانی زوجین یکی از قوی‌ترین پیش‌بین­‌های کیفیت و ثبات زندگی زناشویی است. اما در این بین هیجان­های منفی چه نقشی را در تبادلات زناشویی مخرب زنان ایفا می­کنند؟ نقش هیجان­های مثبت در کاهش تبادلات زناشویی مخرب زنان چیست؟ پژوهش حاضر در صدد پاسخ­گویی به این پرسش­ها، نقش تعدیل­کننده هیجان مثبت در رابطه بین هیجان منفی و تبادلات زناشویی مخرب را مورد بررسی قرار داد. صدو بیست و پنج زن متاهل در پژوهش حاضر شرکت کردند. از شرکت­کنندگان خواسته شد تا مقیاس هیجان‌های منفی (NES)، مقیاس تبادل زناشویی مخرب (DME) و مقیاس هیجان‌های مثبت (PES) را تکمیل کنند. نتایج پژوهش نشان داد که بین هیجان­های منفی با تبادلات زناشویی مخرب زنان رابطه مثبت وجود دارد و هیجان مثبت می­تواند رابطه بین هیجان­های منفی با تبادلات زناشویی مخرب زنان را تعدیل کند. بر اساس یافته­های این پژوهش می­توان نتیجه گرفت که رابطه مثبت میان هیجان­های منفی و تبادلات زناشویی مخرب، برای زنانی که هیجان­های مثبت کمتری دارند، بیشتر از زنانی است که هیجان­های مثبت بیشتری دارند. نتایج پژوهش حاضر می‌تواند به درک نقش مهمی که هیجان­های مثبت و منفی در موفقیت ازدواج ایفا می‌کنند کمک کند و به طراحی مداخلاتی که کارکرد هیجانی زوجین را بهبود می‌بخشند یاری رساند.

چکیده [English]

Research on marriage suggests that emotional exchanges are powerful predictors of marital quality and stability. What is the role of negative emotions in destructive marital exchanges in females? What is the role of positive emotions in decreasing destructive marital exchanges in females? In response to these questions, the present study was designed to investigate the moderating role of positive emotions on the relationship between negative emotions and destructive marital exchanges in females. Participants were 125 females living in Hendijan. All participants were asked to complete the Positive Emotions Scale (PES), Negative Emotion Scale (NES), and Destructive Marital Exchanges (DME). The results showed that negative emotions were positively associated with destructive marital exchanges in females. Moreover, results showed that positive emotions moderate the relationship between negative emotion and destructive marital exchanges in females. Based on the results of the present study, it can be concluded that the extent of positive relationship between negative emotions and destructive marital exchanges is lower in females with positive emotions than females with negative emotions. These findings would be helpful for understanding the important role that emotion regulation plays in marital success and administering interventions to improve couples’ emotional functioning.
