Theories and Tests

The book Theories and Tests in Family and Marriage Psychology, for the first time, instead of focusing on individualistic theories and negative concepts and constructs (such as conflict, incompatibility, marital disturbances, divorce, and breach of contract), inspired by positive social psychology approaches, introduces new theories, concepts, and diagnostic tools (such as fairness, forgiveness, sacrifice, interpretive perspective, attributions, attachment, marital readiness, empathy, attitude toward marriage, relational ethics, adaptability, marital satisfaction, marital exchanges, and adjustment to divorce) to the research literature in the field of family and marriage in the country. One of the unique features of this book is that the adaptability of the propositions of these theories and the psychometric properties of the instruments included have been repeatedly tested in Iranian samples, and their results have been published in reputable scientific-research journals.
