Özet

This study explores the role of mindfulness in marriage as a potential mediator in the relationship between infidelity tendencies and divorce anxiety among married individuals. Employing a sample of 415 married individuals, the research utilized a correlational model to examine the predictive capacity of marital mindfulness. The assessment involved the Mindfulness in Marriage Scale, Infidelity Tendency Scale, and Divorce Anxiety Scale, supplemented by a demographic information form. We analyzed the data using SPSS, incorporating techniques such as Pearson correlation and mediation analysis for parametric distributions. The analysis identified a statistically significant, low, negative correlation between infidelity tendency and divorce anxiety. Additionally, there was a significant, low-positive correlation between infidelity tendency and marital mindfulness. The relationship between divorce anxiety and marital mindfulness also displayed a significant, low negative correlation. Furthermore, the study determined that marital mindfulness plays a significant role as a partial mediator in the relationship between infidelity tendency and divorce anxiety. The findings emphasize the importance of incorporating mindfulness practices in marital counseling and interventions aimed at reducing divorce anxiety and managing infidelity tendencies. We discuss the limitations and implications for future studies to improve our understanding and application of mindfulness in marital contexts.
