Objective: The objective of this research was to assess the efficacy of life skills and communication skills trainings in addressing marital conflicts, conflict resolution styles, and psychological well-being among incompatible partners.
Methods: The study is applied in its objective and quasi-experimental in its methodology, employing a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The target population consisted of all incompatible couples seeking assistance from psychological service centers in Kermanshah in 2021. A sample of 45 individuals was selected through voluntary participation, with participants randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group based on specific criteria. Assessment tools utilized in the study included questionnaires on marital conflicts, conflict resolution styles, and psychological well-being. Over the course of 13 sessions lasting 45 minutes each, life skills and communication skills interventions were delivered to the groups twice a week. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS-26 software, employing statistical tests such as analysis of covariance, and Bonferroni's post hoc test.
Results: The findings indicated a significant impact of life skills and communication skills trainings on marital conflicts, conflict resolution styles, and psychological well-being of incompatible couples.
Conclusions: In total, comparison results revealed no significant distinction between the two interventions, suggesting the viability of these approaches in the context of family counseling and psychotherapeutic settings.
