The Effectiveness of Individual Counseling Based on Cyberspace Harms on the Quality of Marital Relationship among Married Women

Abstract

The present research work aimed to study the effectiveness of the interventions based on cyberspace harms on the quality of marital relationship among married women. The research design was pretest-posttest with a control group. The statistical population consisted of the women in Isfahan who had referred to cultural centers and, based on the cyberspace harms questionnaire, were suffering from cyberspace harms. From among them, a group of 32 married women whose mean score on the cyberspace harms questionnaire were significantly higher than the average score were selected as the sample and assigned into the experimental and control groups. Then both groups filled out the Flickr and Bradbury Relationship Quality Questionnaire (2000), and the experimental group received ten 90-minute sessions of treatment on cyberspace harms while the control group received no intervention. Finally, both groups again completed the Flickr and Bradbury Relationship Quality Questionnaire (2000). The results of variance analysis showed that the intervention based on cyberspace harms had affected the quality of marital relationship among married women of the experimental group in the posttest and follow-up stages. Therefore, such effective interventions can be used to improve the quality of marital relationship among married women suffering from cyberspace harms.
