Examining the Relationship between Communication Patterns of Source Family and Self-Consciousness with Defensive Styles of Discordant Couples

Abstract

Research has shown the relationship between communication patterns of source family with defensive styles of discordant couples. For this reason, the present research has examined the relationship between communication patterns of source family and self-consciousness with defensive styles of discordant couples. This study is a descriptive-correlation type. Its population consisted of all discordant couples referred to counseling centers of Mashhad in 2015. Among the referred 140 discordant couples, there were selected 110 discordant couples as the targeted and available sampling, based on Morgan Table. There were used the revised questionnaire of communication patterns (RFCP), self-consciousness scale (SCS) and defense style questionnaire (Defence Style questiinnair-40), in order to collect the data. The obtained data by statistical approach of the Pearson correlation and regression analysis were analyzed simultaneously. The findings showed a significant direct relationship between communication patterns of source family (conformity orientation) with self-consciousness as well as between conversation orientations with defensive style (immature) (P < 0.05). There is a reverse significant relationship between communication patterns of source family (conversation orientation) with defensive style (immature) of discordant couples (P < 0.05). According to the research results, it can be said that defensive style (immature) of discordant couples will be reduced by developing communication patterns if source family (conversation); and in the other hand, defensive style (mature) of discordant couples will be increased by enhancing self-consciousness.
