Abstract

The aim of the study is to determine the conflict resolution styles, communication patterns and sexual satisfaction what extent truly classify married individuals' thinking about divorce and not thinking about divorce. The research group consists of 396 married people. In this study, those who think about divorce and those who do not are divided into two categories and Binary Logistic Regression analysis was performed to classify these groups by sub-dimensions of conflict resolution styles, aggressive communication pattern, destructive communication pattern and sexual satisfaction variables. Conflict Resolution Styles Scale, Communication Styles Scale and Golombok-Rust Sexual Satisfaction Scale were used for data collection. As a result of the analysis, it is seen that the sub-dimensions of conflict resolution styles (positive conflict, negative conflict, submission and withdrawal), aggressive communication pattern, destructive communication pattern and sexual satisfaction are effective in correctly classifying married individuals who are considering divorce or not.
