Presenting a Structural Model of Wisdom in Couples Based on Marital Adjustment and Sense of Coherence with the Mediating Role of Mindfulness

The aim of this study was to present a structural structural model of wisdom in couples based on marital adjustment and sense of cohesion with the mediating role of mindfulness.

The research method is cross-sectional correlation. The statistical population of this study consisted of all couples (couple) in Tehran in 2020-2021, from which 380 people were selected by stepwise cluster sampling. In this study, the tools of wisdom (Ardelt, 2003), marital adjustment (Spanier, 1976), sense of cohesion (Kimiai et al., 2013), and mindfulness (Ryan and Brown, 2003) All of them had acceptable validity and reliability. SPSS-V23 and Amos-V8.8 software were used to analyze the data. Structural equation modeling was also used to answer the research hypotheses.

Findings showed that the model has a good fit. Marital adjustment has a direct effect on wisdom, the relationship between marital adjustment and wisdom is directly equal (t = 4.82 and β = 0.66). The feeling of cohesion has a direct effect on wisdom, the relationship between the feeling of cohesion and wisdom is directly equal (t = 7.59 and β = 0.85). The results also showed that the indirect effect of marital adjustment and sense of cohesion on the wisdom of the couple was confirmed by mindfulness with 95% confidence.

Therefore, paying attention to the mentioned variables in prevention and designing more appropriate therapies will help researchers and therapists.
