Abstract
AbstractThis study investigated the relationship between five subconscious psychological factors and marital quality with data collected from 799 married adults in Iran. Participants completed two questionnaires assessing their subconscious factors and the quality of their marriages; questionnaires were based on the Imago theory and developed specifically for this study. Analysis of the data revealed a negative relationship between all five factors and quality of one’s marital life. The presence of these factors could lower the quality of marital life. Additionally, among all five factors, defenses had the largest influence on overall marital quality. Therefore, subconscious factors significantly impact marriage quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
