Background and Aims: According to the theories of traditional medicine, attitudes and mental states of people depend on their temperament, and temperament can be one of the factors that affect interpersonal relationships, especially the marital relationships of couples. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of temperament-based training on satisfaction, emotional intelligence, and marital boredom in married women.
Materials and Methods: This semi-experimental research was performed with a pre-test and post-test design and a control group. The statistical population included all married women in Najafabad City, Iran in 2023. In total, 40 women were selected using the convenience sampling method, and informed written consent was obtained from them. They were randomly divided into control (n=20) and intervention groups (n=20). The marital Satisfaction Scale by Olson Enrich (1998), Couple Burnout Measurement by Pines (1996), and Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire by Shering (1995) were used to collect data. Moreover, the intervention group underwent eight 90-minute temperament-based training sessions. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 24) at two levels of descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (covariance analysis following the statistical assumptions of Levin's test and Kalmogorov-Smirionov test).
Results: Results showed that the average score of satisfaction (20.98±156.42 and 11.85±171.84), emotional intelligence (10.87±61.42 and 11.85±70.84), and marital boredom (60.73±12.68 and 11.73 ± 50.15) in the intervention group underwent a significant improvement, compared to the control group at the post-test stage (P=0.05). Therefore, temperament-based training was effective in increasing satisfaction (48%) and emotional intelligence (73%) as well as reducing marital boredom (39%).
Conclusion: Based on the findings, couple therapists and family counselors can use this approach to improve satisfaction and emotional intelligence and also reduce marital burnout and prevent divorce.
