Abstract
This study aims to explore the mediating role of self-assertiveness for cognitive emotion regulation and marital ad- justment. The carried out experiment involved 205 respondents (165 male & 38 female) aged from 22 to 55 years who were selected by cluster sampling method. In order to collect the data, the Assertiveness Questionnaire of Shilton and Broughton (1993), the Cognitive Emotion Regulation questionnaire of Garnefski (2001) and Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) of Spanier (1976) were used. The research results have proved the mediating role of the variable of “assertive- ness” for cognitive emotion regulation and marital adjustment. Cognitive positive and negative emotional regulation through self-assertiveness has both direct and indirect effects on the marital adjustment. The variable of self- assertiveness has a significant mediating role for cognitive emotion regulation and marital adjustment. According to the research results, it is recommended for counselling centers to use workshops and trainings of assertiveness to promote the marital adjustment of couples. Besides, family welfare counselling centers should implement positive emotion regulation trainings to enhance the marriage compatibility.
