    Abstract: 
    The present paper seeks to investigate the relationship between couples' communication patterns in the light of the religious affiliation and marital satisfaction. The study was conducted on 121 couples chosen from teacher training centers and Isfahan seminaries through a random multilevel method. Christensen and Sullaway's questionnaire of Couples' Communication Patterns, Jodayri's questionnaire of Islamic marital satisfaction and Janborzorgi's questionnaire of religious affiliation were used to measure the research variables. Such statistical indexes as independent T-test, multi-way ANOVA and multivariate regression were used to analyze the data. Given to research findings, it can be said that in mutual relations women use the demand pattern more than men. The degree of religious affiliation in women is higher than that in men. They have less marital satisfaction than men. The tendency of the women who adhere to religion to choose incorrect communication patterns is slighter than that of men. In communication patterns of demand-withdraw women's feeling of satisfaction is stronger than that of men but in the pattern of avoidance their feeling of dissatisfaction is stronger.

    Title :رابطه الگوهای ارتباطی زنان و مردان با توجه به پایبندی مذهبی و رضامندی زناشویی در روابط زوجین
    Abstract: 
    پژوهش حاضر با هدف بررسی رابطه‌ی الگوهای ارتباطی زنان و مردان بر اساس پایبندی مذهبی و رضامندی زناشویی انجام شده است. حجم نمونه‌ی پژوهش که با روش چند مرحله ای و به شکلی تصادفی انتخاب شد، شامل 121 زوج (242 نفر) از زوج های مراکز دانشگاهی تربیت معلم و حوزوی شهر اصفهان بود. برای اندازه گیری متغیرهای پژوهشی از پرسش نامه‌ی الگوهای ارتباطی زوجین کریستنسن و سالاوی و پرسش نامه مقیاس رضامندی زناشویی اسلامی جدیری و پرسش نامه‌ی پایبندی مذهبی جان بزرگی استفاده شد. داده ها با شاخص های آماری آزمون t مستقل، تحلیل واریانس چندراهه و رگرسیون چندمتغیره، تحلیل شدند. نتایج پژوهش نشان می دهد که زنان بیش از مردان الگوی متوقع را در روابط دوجانبه به کار می گیرند. زنان بیش از مردان پایبندی های مذهبی دارند. زنان کمتر از مردان احساس رضامندی زناشویی دارند. زنانی که پایبند به مذهب اند کمتر الگوهای ارتباطی معیوب را برمی گزینند. زنان در الگوهای ارتباطی توقع ـ کناره گیری بیشتر احساس رضامندی می کنند و اگر در الگوی اجتنابی قرار گیرند، بیشتر احساس نارضامندی می کنند.
