| Marital conflicts significantly affect the mental health and well-being of couples. This study employed a descriptive-correlational design using a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach. The statistical population consisted of all women seeking divorce who visited marital counseling clinics in District 3 of Tehran in the spring of 2024. Participants were selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected using the Marital Conflict Questionnaire (Sanai, 1996), the Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS; Simons & Gaher, 2005), and the Psychological Inventory of Ego Strength (PIES; Markstrom et al., 1997). Descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, as well as path analysis for inferential statistics, were utilized for data analysis. Findings indicated that the Chi-square ratio to degrees of freedom was 4.374, which is below 5, confirming model fit. Additionally, NFI (0.975), CFI (0.991), and PNFI (0.928) exceeded 0.90, further validating the model. The RMSEA (0.057) was also below 0.08, indicating acceptable model fit. Results revealed that distress tolerance, mediated by ego resilience, had a significant indirect effect on marital conflict with a standardized coefficient of -0.366 and p-value < 0.001. Furthermore, among the three personality traits examined, the deceptive personality had a significant indirect effect on marital conflict, with a coefficient of 0.170 and p-value < 0.001. Overall, findings suggest that the predictive model of marital conflicts through distress tolerance mediated by ego resilience in women seeking divorce demonstrates a good model fit. |
