The Impact of Emotional Intelligence and Resilience on Family Cohesion: Insights from Married Individuals

This study aimedto explore the predictive influence of emotional intelligence and resilience on family cohesion among married individuals. By examining these relationships, the research sought to identify potential psychological traits that could be targeted to enhance family dynamics and cohesion.

Methods and Materials:

Employing a cross-sectional design, the study sampled 250 married participants recruited from counseling centers and social network groups. Emotional intelligence and resilience were assessed using standardized and validated scales, with family cohesion measured through a comprehensive family cohesion assessment tool. Linear regression analysis was conducted to determine the predictive relationship between emotional intelligence, resilience, and family cohesion, with preliminary tests ensuring adherence to statistical assumptions.

The results demonstrated that both emotional intelligence and resilience significantly predict family cohesion, accounting for a substantial proportion of the variance in cohesion scores among the participants. Specifically, emotional intelligence and resilience emerged as strong predictors, highlighting their crucial role in fostering positive family relationships.

The study underscores the importance of emotional intelligence and resilience as key factors in promoting family cohesion. These findings suggest that interventions aimed at enhancing these psychological traits could be beneficial in improving the qualityof family dynamics. Future research should further investigate these relationships longitudinally and across diverse populations to validate and extend these findings.
