Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to predict suicidal ideation based on self-worth, fear of intimacy, and covert relational aggression among women who had experienced marital infidelity. ▌Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional correlational study was conducted among married women who had experienced marital infidelity by their spouses and had attended counseling and psychotherapy centers in Tehran in 2023–2024. Using purposive sampling, 150 women were selected. Data were collected using a demographic information checklist, the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (Beck et al., 1979), the Contingencies of Self-Worth Scale (Crocker et al., 2003), the Fear of Intimacy Scale (Descutner & Thelen, 1991), and the Covert Relational Aggression Scale (Nelson & Carroll, 2006). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis in SPSS version 27. ▌Findings: Self-worth was significantly and negatively correlated with suicidal ideation (r = −0.47, p < .005), whereas fear of intimacy (r = 0.21, p < .008) and covert relational aggression (r = 0.40, p < .002) were significantly and positively correlated with suicidal ideation. Together, self-worth, fear of intimacy, and covert relational aggression explained 38% of the variance in suicidal ideation (R² = .38, p < .001). Emotional withdrawal, a dimension of covert relational aggression, had the strongest predictive contribution (β = .42), whereas piety/virtue, a dimension of self-worth (β = −.09), and social sabotage, a dimension of covert relational aggression (β = .09), had the weakest predictive contributions. ▌Conclusion: Self-worth, fear of intimacy, and covert relational aggression were significantly associated with suicidal ideation among women who had experienced marital infidelity. The findings highlight the potential importance of interventions aimed at strengthening self-worth and marital communication skills and reducing covert relational aggression, particularly emotional withdrawal, in addressing psychological and emotional vulnerability in this population.
