Abstract
The present study was conducted with the aim of predicting marital conflicts based on undifferentiation and examining the moderating role of resilience. The research approach was descriptive-correlational, and the statistical population included all married couples in the city of Qom. From this population, 165 married men and women were selected using convenience sampling. Participants responded to three questionnaires: Sanaei’s Marital Conflicts Questionnaire (2008), Skowron and Friedlander’s Undifferentiation of Self Inventory (DSI, 1998), and Connor and Davidson’s Resilience Scale (CD-RISC, 2009). The findings indicated that Undifferentiation had a positive and significant relationship with marital conflicts (r = 0.420). In addition, a negative and significant relationship was found between undifferentiation and resilience (r = -0.258), reflecting the challenges faced by individuals with low undifferentiation in achieving resilience. Moreover, a negative and significant relationship was observed between marital conflicts and resilience (r = -0.420), highlighting the protective role of resilience. Results demonstrated that resilience played a significant moderating role in the relationship between Undifferentiation and marital conflicts. The moderating effect of resilience increased the coefficient of determination (R²) by 0.026, which was statistically significant (P = 0.047). These findings suggest that resilience can reduce the intensity of the impact of Undifferentiation on marital conflicts.
