Abstract
This study aimed to test the causal model of marital stability based on personality traits mediated by attitude styles towards love in married women referring to counseling centers in Tehran.The study was of applied research type in terms of its purpose, cross-sectional data collection and analysis using correlational method and structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the study included all married women referring to Tehran counseling clinics in 1402. To determine the sample size, according to the number of observed variables and assigning a coefficient of 15 to each observed variable, 354 people were selected as the sample size. This number was selected by considering the selection criteria in a convenient manner. The data collection tools were Sternberg's Attitude to Love Questionnaire (1986), Edward et al.'s Marital Instability Questionnaire (1980), and Costa and McCrae's Personality Questionnaire (1992). The data were analyzed using structural equations. SPSS26 and Amose 23 software were used to analyze the data. The results obtained from the path coefficients in the structural model showed that the direct effect of personality traits on attitude towards love (β = 0.42, p ≥ 0.001), personality traits on marital stability (β = 0.38, p ≥ 0.001), and attitude towards love on marital stability (β = 0.38, p ≥ 0.001) is significant. According to the results, the causal model of marital stability based on personality traits mediated by attitude styles towards love in married women referring to Tehran counseling centers has a good fit, and the model test showed that the fit indices of the research model are in a favorable state.
