Abstract
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between sexual dissatisfaction and marital conflicts with psychological distress with the mediating role of addiction to mobile-based social networks among married teachers in Qazvin province.
Methods: The current research method is correlation and path analysis type. The statistical population of this study included all married male and female teachers in Qazvin city in 1403. The research sample consisted of 350 married teachers, who were selected by the available sampling method and used the questionnaire of psychological distress by Kessler et al. (2002), addiction to mobile-based social networks by Ahmadi et al. (1400) and marital conflict questionnaire (1387) answered.
Findings: Examining the path coefficients showed that the effect of marital conflict (β=0.299 and P=0.001) and sexual dissatisfaction (β=0.574 and P=0.001) has a positive and direct effect on psychological distress. Determining the significance of the indirect effect also indicates that addiction to mobile-based social networks plays a mediating role between marital conflict and sexual dissatisfaction with psychological distress (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Therefore, considering the role of social media addiction in creating psychological distress, it is necessary to include social media addiction in the process of forming the content of intervention programs whose goal is to treat psychological distress.
