Abstract: (2 Views)
The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy on covert communicative aggression and cognitive emotion regulation in working couples with conflict. The research method was a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest design with a control group and a two-month follow-up period. The statistical population of the study included working couples referring to counseling centers in Urmia in 2023-2024, from which 20 couples were selected using the convenience method and assigned to the experimental and control groups by simple randomization. The research instruments included the Covert Communicative Aggression Scale (CRAS, Nelson and Carroll, 2006) and the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ, Garnevsky et al., 2001). Participants in the experimental group received cognitive behavioral therapy during 8 weekly 90-minute sessions. The analysis of variance with repeated measures was used to analyze the data. The findings indicated a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test stages in the components of covert communicative aggression and cognitive emotion regulation strategies (p<0.05). A significant difference was also observed between the pre-test and follow-up stages (p<0.05). Based on these results, it can be concluded that cognitive behavioral therapy was effective in reducing covert communicative aggression and enhancing cognitive emotion regulation in working couples experiencing marital conflict. Therefore, CBT may be considered a beneficial clinical intervention for reducing maladaptive communication patterns and improving emotional functioning among couples in counseling and psychotherapy settings.
