پیش بینی رضایت زناشویی و امید به زندگی بر اساس سرسختی روان‌شناختی و گرایش به بخشش

پژوهش حاضر با هدف پیش بینی رضایت زناشویی و امید به زندگی بر اساس سرسختی روان‌شناختی و گرایش به بخشش انجام شد. در یک طرح همبستگی تعداد 100 زوج با روش خوشه‌ای چندمرحله‌ای از میان افراد متاهل شهر تهران انتخاب شدند.  گردآوری داده‌ها با مقیاس رضایت زناشویی انریچ  (ems)، مقیاس امید اسنایدر(shs)، سیاهه سرسختی روان‌شناختی اهواز(ahi)، مقیاس بخشش هارتلند(hfs) انجام شد. در تجزیه و تحلیل داده‌ها از شاخص‌های توصیفی، ضریب همبستگی پیرسون و رگرسیون چندگانه استفاده شد. نتایج نشان داد که بین سرسختی روان‌شناختی و بخشش با امید به زندگی رابطه مثبت و معناداری وجود دارد (0.01>p). اما رابطه سرسختی روان‌شناختی با رضایت زناشویی معنادار نبود (0.05

prediction of marital satisfaction and life expectancy based on psychological hardiness and tendency to forgive

introductiondespite significant transformations in social life, marriage remains a fundamental institution (rosenfeld & roesler, 2019). marital satisfaction plays a crucial role in predicting the longevity of a relationship (yip & tse, 2019). one psychological construct both related to and influenced by marital satisfaction is life expectancy (sepehrian-azar et al., 2016). higher levels of hope are positively correlated with better physical and psychological health, enhanced self-esteem, and more optimistic thinking (harley & hunn, 2015).psychological hardiness is another key factor influencing how individuals navigate life’s challenges (thornton, 2018). those with higher levels of psychological hardiness typically exhibit greater resilience to stress and are less susceptible to mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety (predko et al., 2023). this psychological trait appears to be associated with both marital satisfaction and life expectancy among couples (rezaei et al., 2020).another key factor related to marital satisfaction is the tendency to forgive (brudek & kaleta, 2023). forgiveness encompasses the ability to pardon those who have caused harm, practice self-forgiveness for personal mistakes or shortcomings, and accept and release difficult or uncontrollable circumstances (wnuk, 2024). research has established associations between forgiveness and both marital satisfaction (şahan, 2021; kaleta & jaśkiewicz, 2024) and hope (kim et al., 2022; worthington & ripley, 2024).although prior studies have partially examined the relationship between psychological hardiness and marital satisfaction, notable gaps persist. most existing research has been conducted in western societies; however, as sayehmiri et al. (2020) emphasized, cultural differences shape the ways in which marital satisfaction and psychological hardiness are conceptualized and experienced. given the critical role of marital satisfaction and life expectancy in sustaining marital relationships—particularly among couples in the early years of marriage—identifying the predictors of these variables remains essential. therefore, this study aimed to examine the extent to which psychological hardiness and forgiveness tendency predict marital satisfaction and life expectancy.
