Extended Abstract
1.Introduction
In addition to conflict resolution styles, for a satisfactory marriage, couples need to communicate effectively and efficiently (8). One of the factors that can undermine the effectiveness of a communication and prevent the misunderstanding of the message sent or prevent its correct decoding is misconceptions, prejudices and negative attitudes (9). Irrational beliefs are thoughts that dominate the psyche. Irrational beliefs are untrue and inconsistent with reality; (9).
Despite the above in the 1990s, a large number of scientific studies on various aspects of marital satisfaction with a greater emphasis on aspects of marital interactions that are less perceptible, including (interpretation of reciprocal behaviors, experienced emotions and physiological responses To interactions) was performed. During this period, more attention was paid to couples' communication patterns and social dimensions and marital violence (12).
Emotional intelligence is one of the non-cognitive components that help a person cope with environmental pressures and constraints, understanding and accepting the thoughts, feelings and emotions of the spouse and, consequently, feeling more satisfied in married life (15). ). The importance of emotional intelligence is such that emotional intelligence theorists believe that th re is a positive relationship between emotional intelligence and the ability to cope with risky situations and have suggested high emotional intelligence as a protective factor (17). ).
In general, the view of the mediating role of emotional intelligence, although it has been considered by theorists at the theoretical level, has not been tested empirically and there are few research findings, especially in Iran. Therefore, inspired by existing theoretical foundations and research, the present study examines the dimensions of conflict resolution styles, irrational beliefs, dimensions of communication patterns and emotional intelligence in relation to predictors of marital conflict and answers this question. Does emotional intelligence play a mediating role in the relationship between conflict resolution styles, irrational beliefs, and communication patterns in marital conflict?
2.Methods
To conduct the present descriptive-analytical research, which was of the correlation type, among married women 25 to 45 years with at least 2 years of marriage referred to counseling centers in Khorrambid in 1397, including 490 people using the Cochran's sample size formula, 216 people volunteered as Statistical samples were selected. Then he completed the Bradbury and Graves (2005) Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire, Rahim Conflict Resolution Styles (1983), Ahwaz Irrational Beliefs (2005), Christensen and Salawi (1984) Communication Patterns, and Sanai and Barati (2008) Marital Conflicts کردن. Finally, the data were analyzed using structural equation modeling and SPSS22 and Smart PLS 3.2.7 software.
3.Results
Based on the values ​​of correlation coefficient in Table (1), emotional intelligence has a direct and significant relationship with integrated, dominant, compromise and required conflict resolution styles and an inverse and significant relationship with avoidance style. The correlation coefficient between emotional intelligence and irrational beliefs was -0.77, which indicates an inverse and significant relationship. The patterns of expectation / withdrawal and reciprocal avoidance have an inverse and significant relationship with emotional intelligence with -0.64 and -0.61 correlation coefficients, respectively. The pattern of reciprocal constructive relationship with a correlation coefficient of 0.75 has a direct and significant relationship with emotional intelligence. Marital conflicts have an inverse and significant relationship with integrated, dominant, compromise and binding conflict resolution styles and a direct and significant relationship with avoidance style. There is a direct and significant relationship between marital conflicts and irrational beliefs of 0.68. There is a significant inverse relationship between marital conflicts and emotional intelligence with a correlation coefficient of -0.68. The patterns of expectation / withdrawal and mutual avoidance have a direct and significant relationship with marital conflicts with correlation coefficients of 0.55 and 0.53, respectively. The pattern of reciprocal constructive relationship with correlation coefficient of -0.66 has a significant inverse relationship with marital conflicts.
As can be seen in Table 2, the styles of integration, avoidance, dominance, and compromise do not have a direct effect on emotional intelligence. But the required style has a direct effect on emotional intelligence and is a positive predictor of emotional intelligence. Irrational beliefs also have a direct effect on emotional intelligence and are a negative predictor of emotional intelligence. On the other hand, the expectation / withdrawal relationship and the avoidance communication pattern do not have a direct effect on emotional intelligence. But the pattern of constructive interaction has a direct effect on emotional intelligence and is a positive predictor of emotional intelligence. Also, in the present study, it was found that integration, avoidance and binding styles directly affect marital conflicts and are negative predictors of marital conflicts. But dominant styles and compromises do not directly affect marital conflicts. On the other hand, irrational beliefs directly affect marital conflicts and irrational beliefs are positive predictors of marital conflicts. Also, patterns of expectation / withdrawal relationship, reciprocal avoidance relationship do not directly affect marital conflicts. But the pattern of reciprocal constructive relationship directly affects marital conflicts and is a negative predictor of marital conflicts. Finally, emotional intelligence has a direct impact on marital conflict and emotional intelligence is a negative predictor of marital conflict.
4-Discussion
In the present study, it was found that the required conflict resolution style, irrational beliefs and communication pattern of interaction have an indirect effect on marital conflicts through emotional intelligence. This finding of the present study is a confirmation of a large number of studies that have investigated this relationship using similar structures. Research shows that the mediating role of emotional intelligence with family communication patterns (38), the mediating role of emotional intelligence in the relationship between attachment style and dysfunctional (39), the mediating role of emotional intelligence in the effect of mindfulness on satisfaction with Life and mental stress (40). Explaining this finding, it can be said that when spouses have the ability to understand the emotions of the other party and can establish a proper social relationship, they can choose appropriate ways to solve their problems. Emotional management involves how one perceives emotional progress in one's relationships with others. These relationships can be unpredictable. Emotional management allows the individual to choose and take the best strategy in the relationship (40).
