Abstract

Numerous variables, including emotional, cognitive, and interpersonal factors, may influence the level of marital conflict. The aim of this study was to determine the predicting role of abandonment schema, inclusion of others in self, and number of negative emotions in marital conflict. The participants were 212 married university students (analytic sample of N = 205). Different scales (Inclusion of Other in the Self, Young Schema Questionnaire Long-Form, Negative Emotion (NE), and Marital Conflict Questionnaire) were used in order to assess the intended marital conflict variables. Our findings demonstrated a positive and significant correlation between marital conflict and number of negative emotions. Moreover, our findings also demonstrated a positive association between marital conflict and early maladaptive abandonment schema. Further, the association between inclusion of the others in the self and marital conflict was statistically significant. In conclusion, the study showed that the number of negative emotions is the strongest predicting variable in relation to marital conflict. Thus, education on the emotion regulation strategies could be one efficacious way to decrease marital issues.

摘要

许多变量，包括情感、认知和人际关系因素，都可能影响婚姻冲突的程度。本研究的目的是确定遗弃图式、将他人融入自我以及婚姻冲突中负面情绪的数量的预测作用。参与者为 212 名已婚大学生（N 的分析样本） = 205）。为了评估预期的婚姻冲突变量，使用了不同的量表（包括自我、年轻图式问卷长式、负面情绪（NE）和婚姻冲突问卷）。我们的研究结果表明，婚姻冲突与负面情绪的数量之间存在显着的正相关。此外，我们的研究结果还表明婚姻冲突与早期适应不良的遗弃模式之间存在正相关。此外，将他人纳入自我与婚姻冲突之间的关联具有统计学意义。总之，研究表明，负面情绪的数量是与婚姻冲突相关的最强预测变量。因此，情绪调节策略的教育可能是减少婚姻问题的一种有效方法。
