Abstract

Background and Aim: Divorce and its related factors have been the focus of psychologists. Studies show that Object relations and personality traits may be directly or indirectly related to the divorce. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate the role of Object relations in predicting the decision to divorce with the mediating role of personality traits.

Methods: The research was a descriptive-correlation type of structural equations. The statistical population was all the people who applied for divorce in 2023, who for the first time in their lives had referred to the family court of Qom to end their life together, and 350 of them were selected using the purposeful sampling method based on criteria. After the drop of sample people, 297 people remained and completed the personality questionnaires of Myers-Briggs (1962), Object relations of Bell (1995) and marital instability of Edwards et al. (1987). The data was analyzed with Pearson correlation test and the research model was tested using the statistical technique of path analysis in SPSS-26 and AMOS.

Ethical Considerations: In all stages of the research, the principles of research ethics, including confidentiality and integrity, were observed by the researchers in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki (2008).

Results: The results indicated that the mediating role of the traits of extraversion, thinking, and judging in the relationship between object relations and the decision to divorce was confirmed; however, the mediating role of the intuitive trait was not supported. In fact, object relations indirectly influenced the decision to divorce through the three traits of extraversion, thinking, and judging. The research model demonstrated a good fit.

Conclusion: According to the research findings, attention to object relations and personality types, as well as efforts to organize personality types through object relations with the aim of enhancing couples’ compatibility and promoting greater marital stability, is both important and necessary.
