چکیده

روابط فرازناشویی شکلی از رابطه عاطفی بین یکی از زوجین با فردی دیگر در خارج از چارچوب‌های رسمی پذیرفته شده است که در بلندمدت به آسیب‌­دیدگی شکل، محتوا و ساختار روابط زناشویی منتهی می‌گردد. پژوهش حاضر  با هدف تعیین نقش میانجی کیفیت روابط زناشویی در روابط عامل‌های شخصیتی با روابط فرازناشویی صورت گرفت. این پژوهش از نوع توصیفی - همبستگی بود. از جامعه زوجین شهر تبریز در سال 1401، تعداد 300 نفر انتخاب شد. در این پژوهش برای جمع‌آوری داده‌های مورد نیاز از پرسشنامه شخصیتی 5 عامل بزرگ، نگرش به خیانت (روابط فرازناشویی، ATIS) و کیفیت زندگی زناشویی (QMI) استفاده شد. نتایج نشان داد روان‌رنجورخویی  به واسطه  کیفیت زندگی زناشویی قادر است 0/10 از تغییرات روابط فرازناشویی را به طور معنی‌­دار و مثبت تبیین نماید. برونگرایی  به واسطه  کیفیت زندگی زناشویی قادر است 0/09 از تغییرات روابط فرازناشویی را به طور معنی­‌دار و منفی تبیین نماید. اثر گشودگی به تجربه بر روابط فرازناشویی به واسطه کیفیت زندگی زناشویی از نظر آماری معنی دار نیست. وظیفه‌شناسی به واسطه کیفیت زندگی زناشویی قادر است 0/11 و توافق­‌پذیری به واسطه کیفیت زندگی زناشویی قادرند 0/09 از تغییرات روابط فرازناشویی را به طور معنی­‌دار و منفی تبیین نمایند. بنابراین، کیفیت زندگی زناشویی قادر است روابط عامل­‌های شخصیت و روابط فرازناشویی را میانجی‌گری کند.

چکیده [English]

Marital infidelity is a form of emotional relationship between one of the couples and another person outside the formal relationships, which in the long run leads to impairment to the form, content and structure of marital relationships. The present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of the quality of marital relationships between personality traits and marital infidelity. This study was conducted with a correlational method. Therefore, 300 subjects were selected from the married population of Tabriz city in 2022. They were assessed by NEO personality questionnaire, attitudes towards infidelity (ATIS) and quality of married life (QMI). Data were analyzed by Strucutral Equation Modeling. Results showed that neuroticism could significantly and positively explain 0.10 of the variances in marital infidelity through quality of marital life. Extroversion could significantly and negatively explain 0.09 of the variances in marital infidelity through quality of marital life. The effect of openness to experience on marital infidelity was not statistically significant through quality of marital life; By mediating quality of marital life, conscientiousness and agreeableness could negatively and significantly explain 0.11 and 0.09 of the variances in marital infidelity through quality of marital life. Therefore, quality of marital life could mediate the relationship between personality traits and marital infidelity.
