Introduction: The present study aimed to explain the prediction of marital boredom based on emotional and social maturity among married people in Shiraz.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive and correlational study, 362 married people (270 females and 92 males) who have married for ten years were selected by convenience sampling method. The instruments used in this research included Paynes's Marital Boredom Self-Report Scale, Yashvir and Bhargava's Emotional Maturity Scale (EMS), and Rao's Social Maturity Scale (RSMS). In addition to descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, and correlation matrix), inferential statistics (structural equation model) were used to analyze the data of the aforementioned scales collected from the sample population by AMOS software.
Results: Research findings demonstrated that emotional maturity predicts marital boredom significantly (P < 0.01, β = -0.69), but social maturity is not a significant predictor for marital boredom (P < 0.01, β = -0.09). The model was modified by considering the output modification indicators of Amos software. Overall, the results of this analysis showed that the final model was well fitted.
Conclusion: Results of this research showed that the emotional maturity could predict marital boredom significantly, but social maturity is not a significant predictor for marital boredom.
