Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop an educational program for marital conflict resolution to improve couple`s abilities at conflict solution as a function of their interaction systems. Based on the Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Model of Baucom and Epstein(1990), it was attempted to devise an intervention integrating cognitive, emotional, and behavioral components of marital dysfunction. The findings showed that the levels of marital dysfunction were statistically significant between the pretest and post-test. That is, marital dysfunctional levels were decreased in the post-test. The findings indicated that wives` potential abilities at marital conflict resolution were somewhat increased. In addition, there were statistically significant differences in both cognitive and behavioral factor of marital dysfunction between the pretest and post-test. The marital dysfunction scores in these two components among subjects were decreased after implementing intervention. However, there was no statistically significant difference in the emotional factor of marital dysfunction. The follow-up was also conducted to assess the degree to which couples used constructive and problematic means of handling conflict. The results suggested that subjects after completing the program were less likely to use problematic tactics and were more likely to use constructive ones during marital conflict than before participating in the educational program.
