The Relationship of Differentiation of Self and Marital Adjustment: The Mediator Effects of Depression

Abstract

This study performed to inspect the relationship of differentiation of self, depression, marital adjustment, to find the mediational effect of depression in the relation between differentiation of self and marital adjustment. That is, if there is more differentiation of self, then depression might decrease, and hope would increase, which might be helpful to marital adjustment. The participants were 353 married women. The significant results were revealed as belows : Firstly, we found that cognitive function vs. emotional function, a commonly identified sub dimension of differentiation of self, influences each sub‐variation of marital adjustment. Secondly, we found that, when another dimension is controlled, as sub variation of differentiation of self, family projection, and cognitive function vs. emotional function significantly predicts depression. Thirdly, we found that depression has a role in mediating the relationship between differentiation of self and marital adjustment. This study is meaningful as we examined the process that differentiation of self affect marital adjustment. Comprehension of this process has the potential to help the adjustment of people who have insufficient differentiation of self.
