Overview

Descriptive-correlational study predicts marital infidelity in women, suggesting implications for counseling practices.

Key Points

  • This research aims to understand how schema modes and emotional divorce may predict marital infidelity among women in counseling centers.
  • Descriptive-correlational design was used.
  • 231 women with communication difficulties and risk of infidelity recruited through voluntary sampling.
  • Data collected using scales for attitudes toward infidelity, schema modes, and emotional divorce.
  • Pearson correlations and stepwise multiple regression were applied for analysis.
  • Predictors explained 33% of the variance in marital infidelity (R² = .33, p < .001).
  • Reduced Healthy Adult functioning (15%) significantly predicts infidelity.
  • Elevated High-Demanding Parent (11%), Punitive Parent (3%), Impulsive Child (2%), and Emotional Divorce (2%) also contribute to this prediction.
  • Overall model was statistically significant (p < .001).
