چکیده

هدف این پژوهش تعیین نقش تعدیل‌کننده تمایزیافتگی و همدلی زناشویی در رابطه بین کیفیت رابطه مادرشوهر-عروس و کیفیت رابطه زناشویی در زنان متأهل شهر اهواز بود. پژوهش حاضر توصیفی از نوع همبستگی بود. جامعه آماری این پژوهش زنان متأهل ۲۰ تا ۵۰ ساله شهر اهواز بودند که حداقل یک سال از ازدواجشان گذشته بود و بر این اساس، ۲1۰ نفر به روش نمونه‌گیری در دسترس انتخاب شدند. شرکت‌کنندگان این پژوهش مقیاس تمایزیافتگی (DSI_R)، مقیاس کیفیت رابطه مادر شوهر و عروس (QMDRS)، مقیاس همدلی زناشویی(BEA) و مقیاس کیفیت روابط زناشویی(MMQ) را تکمیل کردند. تجزیه‌وتحلیل داده‌ها از طریق همبستگی ساده و رگرسیون خطی چندگانه با استفاده از نرم‌افزار 22SPSS/ انجام شد. نتایج پژوهش حاضر نشان‌ داد که بین کیفیت رابطه عروس و مادرشوهر و کیفیت رابطه زناشویی، همبستگی مثبت وجود دارد. نتایج تحلیل رگرسیون نیز نشان داد همدلی زناشویی کیفیت رابطه عروس و مادرشوهر و کیفیت رابطه زناشویی را تعدیل می‌‌کند؛ اما تمایزیافتگی تعدیل‌کننده رابطه بین کیفیت رابطه مادرشوهر-عروس و کیفیت رابطه زناشویی نیست. بر اساس نتایج پژوهش می‌توان نتیجه گرفت به‌رغم اینکه کیفیت رابطه زناشویی با متغیرهای مختلفی مرتبط است و از آن‌ها اثر می‌پذیرد، همدلی زناشویی در رابطه مادرشوهر-عروس و کیفیت رابطه ‌زناشویی به عنوان یک عامل مؤثر و تسهیل‌کننده عمل می‌کند و باعث کمترشدن تعارض‌ها در این رابطه می‌‌شود.

چکیده [English]

The purpose of this research is to determine the moderating role of differentiation and marital empathy in the relationships between the quality of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law (QMDLR) and the quality of the marital relationships in married women of Ahvaz City. This descriptive research is correlation type. The research targeted married women aged 20 to 50 in Ahvaz who had been married for at least one year. A sample of 210 women was selected by convenience sampling. The participants completed the differentiation scale (DSI_R), quality of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship scale (QMDRS), marital empathy scale (BEA) and marital relationships quality scale (MMQ). The data were analyzed with Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression using SPSS software (version 22). The results showed that there is a positive relationship between the QMDLR and the quality of the marital relationships. The results of regression analysis showed that marital empathy moderates the relationships between QMDLR and quality of the marital relationships, but differentiation does not moderate the relationships between QMDLR and quality of the marital relationships. The results of the research show that marital empathy in the QMDLR is an effective factor that improves the quality of the marital relationships and reduces conflicts, despite the influence of various variables.
