This study aimed to investigate the relationship between self-focused cognitive bias and responsibility with social adjustment in women with marital conflicts. The research method was correlation and the sample consisted of 95 women with marital conflicts that were selected via simple randomization. The investigation instruments were: Woody, Chambles, and Goldes's selffocus cognitive bias, Kordloo's responsibility and Bell's social adjustment questionnaires. Multiple Regression Analyses with stepwise method and Pearson correlation showed that 24.6 percent of common variance (R2) of the social adjustment of women with marital conflicts was explained by self-focused cognitive bias, and 10.8 percent was explained by responsibility, making a total of 35.40 percent. The results of this study were consistent with those of other investigations. They indicated that self-focused cognitive bias and responsibility have basic role in the amount of social adjustment of women with marital conflicts.
