Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the model of predicting marital empathy based on object relationships by considering the mediating role of attachment styles in married individuals. Materials and Methods: The research method was descriptive and structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the present study was all married people who referred to health centers in Tehran in 1400, of which 350 people were selected by convenience sampling. The research instruments included the Julif and Farrington Marital Empathy Scale, the Bell Object Relationships Questionnaire, and the Hazen and Shaver Attachment Styles Questionnaire. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. Findings: The results of statistical test showed that the fit indices of the research model are in good condition. Object relationships have a significant direct effect on marital empathy (p <0.05). Object relationships have a significant indirect effect on marital empathy through attachment styles (p <0.05). Conclusion: Based on the research findings, appropriate strategies for improving the predictive components of object relationships should be considered in order to increase the level of satisfaction, stability and stability of marriage and increase marital empathy.
