Abstract: (53 Views)
Objective: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of positive psychology training on resilience, distress tolerance, and coping styles in women experiencing marital conflicts.
Methods: The statistical population consisted of all women who visited counseling centers in Kermanshah in 2021. From this population, 30 participants were selected using a convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 15) and a control group (n = 15). The independent variable was positive psychology training, and the dependent variables were resilience, distress tolerance, and coping styles. The intervention was delivered in nine 70-minute sessions, twice a week, including exercises on gratitude, hope and optimism, forgiveness, focusing on personal strengths, and engaging in pleasurable activities. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and follow-up analyses.
Results: The findings indicated that positive psychology training had a significant effect on the combined dependent variables. Follow-up analyses showed that the experimental group scored significantly higher than the control group in resilience, distress tolerance, and constructive coping styles. Effect sizes suggested the practical significance of positive psychology interventions in promoting the mental health of women experiencing marital conflicts.
Conclusions: The results highlight that positive psychology training can serve as an effective and efficient approach for empowering women and enhancing their psychological and social adaptation.
