Background: In recent years, premarital programs have been considered to strengthen marital life. Premarital education is a strategy to prevent marital dissatisfaction and the breakdown of marriages. One of the new premarital counseling models developed in 2020 is the Attachment-Differentiation Premarital Model (ADPM), which is considered an integrated, system-based approach to premarital counseling. ADPM is a 10-session program consisting of seven stages, each with significant tasks and expected outcomes. Numerous studies have demonstrated the impact of self-differentiation and attachment on perceived partner responsiveness, relationship beliefs, and emotional expressiveness. However, the combination of these two concepts in the context of premarital education has not been examined to date.
Aims: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Attachment-Differentiation Pre-Marital Model (ADPM) on perceived partner responsiveness, relational beliefs, and emotional expressiveness among individuals on the verge of marriage.
Methods: This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group. The sample consisted of 20 individuals about to get married, who were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Participants received training in 10 sessions, each lasting 90 minutes. Data were collected using the Perceived Partner Responsiveness Scale (PPRS), the Relationship Beliefs Inventory (RBI), and the Emotional Expressiveness Questionnaire (EEQ). Data analysis was conducted using covariance analysis (ANCOVA) through SPSS software
Results: The results indicated a significant difference in the mean scores of perceived partner responsiveness, relational beliefs, and emotional expressiveness between the two groups. This finding suggests that the Attachment-Differentiation Pre-Marital Model is effective (P≤0.05).
Conclusion: Therefore, ADPM can be utilized as a pre-marital training approach for individuals seeking pre-marital counseling.
Keywords: premarital attachment-differentiation model(ADPM), partner’s perceived responsiveness, relationship beliefs, emotionalexpression, people.
