The relationship among emotional expressiveness, marital adjustment, and burnout, and its comparison between blinded and sighted couples
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between (positive and negative) emotional expression, marital adjustment, and burnout, and its comparison between blind and sighted couples. This study was conducted through two methods of correlation and comparative-causality. The participants of the study, including 180 couples; (90 blinded and 90 sighted couples), were selected by the snowball sampling method. The statistical population was all couples in Tehran. The data were collected using the marital burnout scale (by Pianes), marital adjustment test (by Lock and Wallace), and emotional expressiveness scale (by King and Emmons). The data were analyzed by the Multiple regression and Multivariate analysis of variance using the SPSS-20 software. Findings showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between positive emotional expressiveness and marital adjustment, and also between negative expressiveness with burnout (p<0/01). There was a significant difference between emotional expressiveness, marital adjustment, and marital burnout in blind and sighted couples; blind couples scored lower on positive emotional expressiveness and marital adjustment, higher on negative emotional expressiveness and marital burnout compared to sighted couples. As a result, it is necessary to pay attention to variables of emotion expressiveness and marital adjustment in order to prevent marital burnout in blinded couples.
