An Investigation into the Fitness of a Conceptual Model Based on the Prediction of Marital Satisfaction Based on Socioeconomic Factors and Personality Traits with the Mediation of Lifestyle among the Women in Tehran

The purpose of this study was to investigate the fitness of a conceptual model based on the prediction of marital satisfaction based on socioeconomic factors and personality traits with the mediation of lifestyle among the women in Tehran. The research method was quantitative-survey, and the statistical population included all the married women in Tehran, whose total number was estimated to be 2210287. From among them, a group of 384 women was selected as the research sample based on the Cochran formula. Data were collected using four questionnaires: the Walker Lifestyle Questionnaire, the Enrique Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire, the NEO Personality Inventory, and the researcher-made socio-economic factors questionnaire. The results revealed the fitness of the proposed model. Although the relationship between the socioeconomic variables and marital satisfaction was not significant, a significant relationship was observed between socioeconomic factors and lifestyle, personality traits and lifestyle, personality traits and marital satisfaction, and lifestyle and marital satisfaction of the women studied here. In general, considering the results, it can be concluded that marital satisfaction is a multidimensional issue and is influenced by many factors. Therefore, since marital satisfaction has both objective and subjective dimensions, it is strongly influenced by both psychological factors, especially personality traits, and sociological factors, such as lifestyle.
