Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between experiential avoidance and emotional divorce with the mediating role of loneliness among couples in Tehran. Methods and Materials: This research employed a descriptive-correlational design. The statistical population consisted of married individuals residing in Tehran in 2024. Based on Morgan’s table, 380 participants were selected via convenience sampling. Data were collected using the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II), UCLA Loneliness Scale, and Gottman Emotional Divorce Scale. The reliability and validity of these instruments were confirmed in prior studies. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson correlation in SPSS-27 and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in AMOS-21. Findings: The results indicated significant positive correlations between experiential avoidance and emotional divorce (r=0. 48, p<0. 001), experiential avoidance and loneliness (r=0. 54, p<0. 001), and loneliness and emotional divorce (r=0. 62, p<0. 001). SEM results showed good model fit (X²/df=1. 87, RMSEA=0. 046, CFI=0. 95) and confirmed the mediating role of loneliness in the relationship between experiential avoidance and emotional divorce. Conclusion: The findings suggest that experiential avoidance can significantly increase the likelihood of emotional divorce through heightened feelings of loneliness. Interventions aimed at reducing emotional avoidance and enhancing emotional bonds in couples’ relationships may help prevent emotional divorce.
