Abstract

Introduction: Marital satisfaction serves as a fundamental predictor of stability and well-being within individuals' lives and families. Aim: This study aims to develop a structural model that predicts Marital satisfaction among young couples by examining the interplay between Behavioral activation/inhibition systems and Attachment styles. Method: The current study was a description of structural equations. A sample of 370 young couples in Tehran during the year 2021 was selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected through demographic questionnaires, Enrich's Marital satisfaction Questionnaire (1998), the Behavioral activation/ Inhibition Scale (1994), and the Adult Attachment Scale (2015). Path analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25 and LISREL version 8. 8 for data analysis. Results: The results of the path analysis revealed several significant findings. Firstly, the inhibition system demonstrated a direct negative impact on Marital satisfaction (ß=-0. 16, P<0. 05), along with ambivalent insecure attachment (ß=-0. 42, P<0. 01) and avoidant insecure attachment (ß=-0. 19, P<0. 05). Conversely, secure attachment displayed a direct and positive effect on Marital satisfaction (ß=0. 26, P<0. 01). Furthermore, the inhibition system exhibited a direct and positive influence on avoidant insecure attachment (ß=0. 18, P<0. 01) and ambivalent insecure attachment (ß=0. 19, P<0. 01). Additionally, the activation system had a direct positive effect on secure attachment (ß=0. 28, P<0. 05) but a direct negative effect on avoidant attachment (ß=-0. 30, P<0. 01). Conclusion: The results of the study underscore the direct predictive role of the activation/inhibition system in Marital satisfaction, with Attachment styles playing an indirect role. Therefore, therapists should consider these variables to enhance satisfaction levels in couples.
