A meta-analysis on the research on the causes of divorce and the relationship between personality and communication

No epoch like the present era has been considered the danger of dissolution of the family center and its adverse effects, and in no epoch like this era has human beings ever had this danger and its adverse effects. The most complex relationship is the relationship between a husband and wife, so access to information in this area will be extremely difficult and in some circumstances impossible. Much research has been done to find the most important causes of divorce, but they have yielded different results. For this reason, the vacuum caused by the lack of methods for organizing, displaying, linking and ultimately integrating research is felt. The present study aimed at combining quantitative results (meta-analysis) with research on the causes of personality and effective communication in divorce. 36 studies were conducted through Internet search in internal databases and hand search in the Iranian Institute of Science and Technology between 1999 and 1395. Identification and information were analyzed through a comprehensive meta-analysis software (CMA2). The combined effect index of r for personality variables in the fixed model is 0.042 and in the randomized model is 0.08 and for the communication variables in the fixed effects model is 0.034 and in the random effects model, 0.057 which according to Cohen’s criterion, the effect size, In both cases, it was low. However, in examining the size of the effect of separation of personality causes, the variables of doing the wrongdoing, and in the causes of the relationship between lack of attention and love, had a large effect and a positive relationship with the divorce. Due to heterogeneity in studies, modulator analysis was carried out.
