Abstract EN

The current study examind the marital distress and its relationship with alexithymia and causal attribution in light of some demographic variables in a sample of couples As well as identifying the differences between the research sample in marital distress according to the gender variable (males, females), and age (18-35 years, 35-50 years, older than 50 years).

The age difference (less than five years - more than five years), the number of children (three or less, more than three children) and the duration of marriage (five years or less, more than five years), And also to identify the possibility of predicting marital distress in spouses through alexithymia and causal attribution, and the researcher used the descriptive correlative approach to achieve the objectives of the study.

The study sample consisted of (355) husbands and wives, of whom 159 were males and (196) were females, whose ages ranged from (18: greater than 50) years, with a mean age of (39.71) a year, and a standard deviation of (14.07 ).

The researcher used the marital distress scale (prepared by the researcher, and the Alexithymia scale prepared by Bagby and his colleagues (Bagby, Parker & Taylor, 1994) (translated by the researcher), and the causal attribution scale (prepared by the researcher).

Using Pearson's correlation coefficients, t-test, and analysis of variance to analyze the study data, The results resulted in a positive, statistically significant correlation between the spouses' scores on the marital distress scale and their scores on the alexithymia scale and causal attribution at the level of significance (0.01) and (0.05), The results also resulted in the presence of statistically significant differences in the average scores of spouses on marital distress according to the gender variable (males, females) in favor of males, as well as differences in marital distress in the age variable in the direction of the younger group, and also differences in marital distress in Variable age difference between spouses in favor of the difference of less than five years, and also found differences in marital distress in the variable number of children in favor of the number of more than three children, and differences were found in the marital distress in the variable duration of marriage in favor of the group less than five years, and the results also resulted in the possibility of Predicting marital distress through alexithymia and marital distress in spouse
