Abstract

AbstractIntroduction: Mindfulness is considered as an important concept in improving communication quality and the couple's relationship in the field of marital adjustment, but the conducted researches show that there are few valid tools in this field. The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the psychometric characteristics of The Mindfulness in Couple Relationships Scale (MCRS) in Iranian society, which can be useful to fill this gap.Method: The present study was a descriptive-applied study of the psychometric type. The research sample consists of 720 Iranian men and women with an average age of 35 years, who were selected using the convenience sampling method from among the residents of Tehran in 2023. The Persian version of the scale was implemented along with marital interaction stability questionnaires, marital frustration scale and Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire (RSQ). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to check the validity of the scale and Cronbach's Alpha Formula was used for its validity method (internal consistency). The test-retest reliability was used to check the validity (reliability) as well.Results: The findings were analyzed using SPSS 21 and AMOS 24 software packages, which indicates the fitness and desirability of the eight Factor Mindfulness Questionnaire in couples' relationships. The validity of this scale was obtained using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, which was 0.87 for Non-Judging, 0.70 for Patience, 0.89 for Beginner’s Mind, 0.83 for Trust of Self, 0.64 for Non-Striving, 0.76 for Acceptance, and 0.69 for Letting Go, 0.74 for Noticing and for the whole scale was equal to 0.92 at a significance level of 0.01. Also, according to the results, there is a significant direct relationship between the Mindfulness in Couple Relationships and the marital interaction stability, and a negative significant relationship between the Mindfulness in Couple Relationships and Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire and marital dissatisfaction, which indicates the convergent and divergent validity of the Mindfulness in Couple Relationships Scale.Conclusion: The results of this research show that the Persian version of the mindfulness questionnaire in couples' relationships has sufficient validity and reliability, and can be used as a useful tool for Couples Therapy Interventions and research purposes.
