Abstract

Objective: Marriage has been introduced as the most important and main communication factor between humans. Infidelity in marriage is one of the most damaging problems that affect commitment and marriage relationships. The present study investigated the role of early maladaptive schemas in predicting components of marital infidelity. Methods: This study attempted to determine the role of early maladaptive schemas in predicting legitimacy, seduction, normalization, sexuality, social background, and sensation seeking in marital infidelity. The population comprised all the students of Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University, Iran, in the academic year 2019-2020. Considering the size of the population, 200 students were selected as a sample through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using an infidelity questionnaire (Yeniceri & Kökdemir, 2006) and Young’s early maladaptive schemas questionnaire (Young, 1999). Results: Pearson’s correlation coefficient showed a significant negative correlation (β=-0.15) between the over-vigilance/inhibition and the legitimacy of infidelity (P<0.01). There was a significant positive correlation (β=0.10) between impaired autonomy and performance with normalization (P<0.05). Also, impaired limits had a significant positive correlation (β=0.10) with the social background in marital infidelity (P<0.05). Multiple regressions analysis showed that over-vigilance/inhibition (β=-0.024, P>0.05) and impaired limits (β=0.15, P>0.05) were predictors of legitimacy. Impaired autonomy and performance (β=0.15, P>0.05) and other-directedness (β=-0.13, P>0.05) were predictors of seduction. Impaired autonomy and performance were predictors of normalization (β=0.06, P>0.05). Over-vigilance/inhibition could predict sexuality (β=-0.13, P>0.05). Disconnection and rejection could predict sensation seeking (β=0.016, P>0.05). Conclusion: The results indicated the predictive role of early maladaptive schemas on the tendency of marital infidelity. When couples become aware of negative initial maladaptive schemas, conflict and eventually marital discord may decrease.

早期适应不良图式在预测婚姻不忠的合法性、诱惑、正常化、性行为、社会背景和感觉寻求中的作用

目的:婚姻已经成为人与人之间最重要和最主要的沟通因素。婚姻中的不忠是影响承诺和婚姻关系的最具破坏性的问题之一。本研究探讨了早期适应不良图式在预测婚姻不忠成分中的作用。方法:本研究试图确定早期适应不良图式在预测婚姻不忠中的合法性、诱惑、正常化、性行为、社会背景和感觉寻求中的作用。人口包括2019-2020学年伊朗Azarbaijan Shahid Madani大学的所有学生。考虑到总体的规模，采用分层随机抽样的方法选取200名学生作为样本。数据收集使用不忠问卷(Yeniceri & Kökdemir, 2006)和Young的早期适应不良图式问卷(Young, 1999)。结果:Pearson相关系数显示，过度警惕/抑制与出轨正当性呈显著负相关(β=-0.15) (P0.05)，限制障碍(β=0.15, P>0.05)是出轨正当性的预测因子。自主性和绩效受损(β=0.15, P>0.05)和其他指导性受损(β=-0.13, P>0.05)是诱惑的预测因素。自主性和工作表现受损是正常化的预测因子(β=0.06, P>0.05)。过度警觉/抑制可预测性取向(β=-0.13, P>0.05)。断连和排斥能预测感觉寻求(β=0.016, P>0.05)。结论:早期适应不良图式对婚姻不忠倾向具有预测作用。当夫妻意识到消极的初始适应不良图式时，冲突和最终的婚姻不和谐可能会减少。

期刊介绍： Clinical Practice in Pediatric Psychology® publishes articles representing the professional and applied activities of pediatric psychology. The journal comprehensively describes the breadth and richness of the field in its diverse activities;complements the scientific development of the field with information on the applied/clinical side;provides modeling that addresses the ways practicing pediatric psychologists incorporate empirical literature into day-to-day activities;emphasizes work that incorporates and cites evidence from the science base; andprovides a forum for those engaged in primarily clinical activities to report on their activities and inform future research activities. Articles include a range of formats such as commentaries, reviews, and clinical case reports in addition to more traditional empirical clinical studies. Articles address issues such as: professional and training activities in pediatric psychology and interprofessional functioning;funding/reimbursement patterns and the evaluation of the cost-effectiveness of clinical services;program development;organization of clinical services and workforce analyses;applications of evidence based interventions in "real world" settings with particular attention to potential barriers and solutions and considerations of diverse populations;critical analyses of professional practice issues;clinical innovations, e.g., emerging use of technology in clinical practice;case studies, particularly case studies that have enough detail to be replicated and that provide a basis for larger scale intervention studies; andorganizational, state and federal policies as they impact the practice of pediatric psychology, with a particular emphasis on changes due to health care reform.
