  The aim of this study was to develop a causal model of positive marital outcomes based on marital characteristics mediated by emotional expression and sexual intimacy in married female primary school teachers in Kermanshah in 2022. The present research is applied in terms of purpose and correlation and structural equations in terms of data collection method. The statistical population of the present study consists of all married female primary school teachers in Kermanshah in 2022. To select the sample size based on Cochran's formula from Kermanshah primary schools, 35 schools were selected by multi-stage cluster random sampling and then 250 teachers were selected from these schools and given the Spinner (1976) Marital Adjustment Questionnaire, Nathan Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire. Et al. (1973) answered emotional expression and sexual intimacy using the Enrich Questionnaire, Marital Instability Index (MII) and the Marissa Characteristics Questionnaire by Chrisma Rosen-Grandon (1998). The results showed that the direct effect of marital characteristics on positive marital outcomes was 0.395 and also the indirect effect of this variable on positive marital outcomes through emotional expression and sexual intimacy variables was 0.149 and 0.167, respectively, which was at the 95th level of confidence. Percentages are significant. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a positive and significant relationship between independent variables with mediating and dependent variables of research. Thus, emotional expression and sexual intimacy act as mediators of the relationship between positive marital outcomes based on marital characteristics, and in marital interventions, family counselors can be the target of therapy.

  AbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship between childhood trauma and sexual intimacy in married women. The present study was a descriptive-correlational modeling of structural equations. The statistical population of the study included married women in Tehran and Sari city, from which 196 people were selected by convenience sampling. Data collection tools included a short form of Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, self-compassion scale and sexual intimacy questionnaire. Pearson's correlation coefficient and structural equation model were used for data analysis using AMOS and SPSS version 22 software. The results showed that sexual intimacy had a negative relationship with childhood injuries (-0.44) and had a significant positive relationship with self-compassion (0.25) at the level of 0.01. Self-compassion also played a mediating role in the relationship between childhood trauma and sexual intimacy in married women (P<0.001). Accordingly, compassion had a mediating role in the relationship between childhood injuries and sexual intimacy in married women. Thus, in married women, childhood trauma can reduce sexual intimacy through its effect on compassion. Manuscript profile
