The statistical population of this correlational study included all married women who were exposed to domestic violence and were students at the Islamic Azad University of Garmsar during the first semester of 2016. A total of 150 married female students were selected from the abovementioned centers using multistage random sampling. The participants then filled out the WAYS of coping questionnaire (Lazarus and Folkman), Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-being (RSPWB), and the domestic violence questionnaire. Multiple regression analysis was used for data analysis.
The results showed that psychological well-being negatively predicts the psychophysical component of domestic violence. Moreover, emotion-focused coping strategies positively predict the psychophysical component of domestic violence.
Concluded: It can be concluded that psychophysical and control dimensions of domestic violence decrease with the increase of psychological wellbeing, and they increase with the increase of emotionfocused coping strategies.
