The Impact of Life Skills Training on Marital Conflicts

The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of life skills training on marital conflicts. The target population consisted of all the women referring to the Counseling Center of School District 3 in Karaj during the third to the ninth month of the year 2011. From the population, a group of 50 women was screened through the researcher-made marital conflict questionnaire. Then, 25 subjects were divided into experimental and control groups and they participated in a quasi-experimental study. One week before the beginning of the treatment, both groups took the marital conflict pre-test. Then, the experimental group received 15 sessions of life skills training. After the training, both groups took the marital conflict post-test. The obtained data were analyzed through ANCOVA and the results indicated that life skills training could significantly decrease marital conflicts (P<0/05).
