Abstract
Background and Objective: One of the important issues in the family field is paying attention to the quality of the mother-in-law-daughter-in-law relationship. The aim of the present study was to study the effectiveness of the mother-in-law-daughter-in-law relationship quality improvement program on spouse empathy and bride's emotion regulation.
Research Method: The semi-experimental research method with a pre-test-post-test design with a non-matched control group was considered. The statistical population included all brides and their husbands in Khorramabad in 1403. Using the available sampling method, 32 people (bride and groom) and 16 eligible volunteer couples were randomly divided into two experimental and control groups (two groups of 16 people). The data collection tools were the Davis Empathy Questionnaire (1983) and the Gross and John Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (2003), and for the experimental group, 8 90-minute training sessions were held once a week. Finally, a post-test was administered to both groups and the data were analyzed using univariate analysis of covariance with SPSS version 27 software. .(p<0/05)
Findings: The results showed that the training program to improve the quality of the mother-in-law's relationship with the daughter-in-law had a significant effect on increasing empathetic concerns (P<0.001), perspective-taking (P<0.001), personal turmoil (P<0.001), emotional suppression (P=0.010), and emotional reappraisal (P=0.004) of the brides and their husbands in the experimental group. Also, the effect size values showed that 0.915%, 0.806%, 0.882%, 0.939%, and 0.878% of the changes in empathetic concerns, perspective-taking, personal turmoil, emotional suppression, and emotional reappraisal at the post-test could be explained by the training program to improve the quality of the mother-in-law's relationship with the daughter-in-law.
Conclusion: According to the results of the research, through the training program to improve the quality of the mother-in-law-daughter-in-law relationship, it is possible to help brides and their husbands learn to pay more attention to empathetic concerns, bring closer personal perspectives and concerns in their relationship with their mother-in-law; reduce their suppressed emotions and re-evaluate their positive and negative emotions so that they can improve and increase the quality of their relationship with their mother-in-law.
