چکیده
هدف از پژوهش حاضر، مقایسه اثربخشی زوج‌درمانی گاتمن و زوج‌درمانی مبتنی بر واقعیت‌درمانی گلاسر بر احساس انسجام و انعطاف‌پذیری شناختی زوجین دارای تعارض زناشویی بود. این پژوهش از نوع نیمه‌آزمایشی با طرح پیش‌آزمون–پس‌آزمون همراه با گروه کنترل بود. جامعه آماری شامل زوجین مراجعه‌کننده به کلینیک روان‌شناسی ذهن‌آرا شهر تهران در سال ۱۴۰۴ بود که به دلیل تعارض زناشویی مراجعه کرده بودند. از میان آنان، ۴۵ زوج به روش نمونه‌گیری در دسترس انتخاب و به‌صورت تصادفی در سه گروه زوج‌درمانی گاتمن، زوج‌درمانی مبتنی بر واقعیت‌درمانی گلاسر و گروه کنترل (هر گروه ۱۵ زوج) جایگزین شدند. گروه‌های آزمایش به‌ترتیب ۱۰ و ۱۲ جلسه درمان دریافت کردند و گروه کنترل در فهرست انتظار قرار گرفت. داده‌ها با استفاده از پرسشنامه انعطاف‌پذیری شناختی دنیس و وندروال و پرسشنامه احساس انسجام آنتونوفسکی گردآوری و با تحلیل واریانس با اندازه‌گیری مکرر و آزمون تعقیبی بونفرونی در نرم‌افزار SPSS-26 تحلیل شدند. یافته‌ها نشان داد هر دو مداخله در مقایسه با گروه کنترل موجب افزایش معنادار انعطاف‌پذیری شناختی و احساس انسجام شدند . همچنین، زوج‌درمانی گاتمن در مقایسه با زوج‌درمانی مبتنی بر واقعیت‌درمانی گلاسر اثربخشی بیشتری در بهبود هر دو متغیر نشان داد . بر این اساس، هر دو رویکرد درمانی در بهبود شاخص‌های روان‌شناختی زوجین دارای تعارض زناشویی مؤثر بودند، اما زوج‌درمانی گاتمن از اثربخشی بیشتری برخوردار بود و می‌تواند به‌عنوان مداخله‌ای مناسب در مراکز مشاوره و درمان خانواده مورد استفاده قرار گیرد.

چکیده English

The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of Gottman couple therapy and Glasser reality therapy-based couple therapy on the sense of coherence and cognitive flexibility of couples with marital conflict. This study was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included couples who referred to the Mindful Psychology Clinic in Tehran in 2025 due to marital conflict. Among them, 45 couples were selected using convenience sampling and randomly assigned to three groups: Gottman couple therapy, Glasser reality therapy-based couple therapy, and the control group (15 couples in each group). The experimental groups received 10 and 12 treatment sessions, respectively, and the control group was placed on a waiting list. Data were collected using the Dennis and Vanderwaal Cognitive Flexibility Questionnaire and the Antonovsky Sense of Coherence Questionnaire and analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc test in SPSS-26 software. The findings showed that both interventions significantly increased cognitive flexibility and sense of coherence compared to the control group (P<0.001). Also, Gottman couple therapy was more effective in improving both variables compared to Glaser reality therapy-based couple therapy (P<0.05). Accordingly, both therapeutic approaches were effective in improving psychological indicators of couples with marital conflict, but Gottman couple therapy was more effective and can be used as an appropriate intervention in family counseling and treatment centers.
