Abstract: (335 Views)
Background: In the context of marital relationships, the emergence of conflicts and disagreements can lead to emotional distance, which may ultimately result in divorce. Among these, interventions that help strengthen forgiveness and increase compatibility become particularly important. A review of existing educational research on reducing divorce rates shows that the majority of these studies focus on examining communication deficiencies and the lack of communication skills among couples at the brink of divorce. At the same time, less emphasis has been placed on the personality and identity issues of one of the spouses.
Aims: This study aimed to compile and validate the "quiet ego" educational package to enhance interpersonal forgiveness and marital compatibility among couples on the verge of divorce.
Methods: This applied, qualitative study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, data were collected from three sources: scientific articles from the past 10 years related to the “Quiet Ego”, interviews with 15 married women with at least three years of marriage, and interviews with 15 psychology specialists with at least 10 years of experience, using purposive sampling. Data were coded and analyzed manually using thematic content analysis to extract core themes for developing the protocol. In the second phase, the developed educational package was validated using the Delphi method through several rounds of expert feedback.
Results: The results indicated that the "quiet ego" educational package for couples on the verge of divorce demonstrated satisfactory content validity, with CVR ≥ 0.49 and CVI ≥ 0.79 calculated based on the evaluations of eight psychology experts, and inter-expert agreement confirmed using the Kappa coefficient.
Conclusion: Based on the findings, the "quiet ego" educational package, with demonstrated content validity, serves as an effective tool to improve forgiveness and marital compatibility in couples on the verge of divorce. This program can serve as a valuable intervention in resolving relational conflicts.
