Abstract

The present research investigates the cognitive-behavioral model of marital problems. For the purpose of this study, appropriate cognitive-behavioral model was constructed and was tested through the structural equation modeling. Also, we evaluated the moderating effect of marital belief discrepancy and the mediating effect of negative marital perception on how major marital life events affect marital dissatisfaction. Cognitive-behavioral factors assessment scale and general marital dissatisfaction assessment scale were administered to 130 married couples in Korea. The data were analyzed through correlation analysis, regression analysis, and structural equation modeling. There was significant correlation between cognitive-behavioral factors (e.g., major marital life events, marital belief discrepancy, negative marital perception, negative marital emotion, and negative marital behavior) and general marital dissatisfaction. We also found significant moderating effect of marital belief discrepancy and mediating effect of negative marital perception on the connection between major marital life events and marital dissatisfaction. Finally, the mediation model showed appropriate goodness of fit compared to alternative models. We conclude that the integrative cognitive-behavioral model suggested by the present study is a potential explanation for Korean marital problems. Clinical implication, limitations of this study, and suggestions for future research are discussed.
