Abstract

The aim of the present study was to develop a structural model of the relationship between communication patterns and stress coping skills with life satisfaction through the mediation of self-differentiation in married women. The statistical population of the present study was made up of all married women in Tehran in 2021-2022, and 600 of them were selected by multi-stage random sampling. The tools of the current research included Christensin and Salvi's (1984) communication pattern questionnaires, Billings and Moss (1981) stress coping skills, Diener et al.'s (1985) life satisfaction and Drake's self-differentiation (2011). The method of data analysis was using the structural equation modeling method and the analysis was done using spss-26 and amos-24 software. The findings of the research showed that the model had a good fit. The results of the direct path coefficient of research variables in the final model showed that the direct path coefficient between constructive interactions, problem-oriented strategy and self- differentiation with women's life satisfaction was statistically significant. Based on the findings of the research, it can be concluded that communication patterns and stress coping skills mediate self- differentiation on the life satisfaction of married women.
