Data collection was done using marital infidelity inventory Dyrogoths(1999), short Neoform personality inventory Mckiery and costa(1985), attributional style inventory Patterson (1982), self distinctness inventory Skowron and Friendlander (1998), and the short form of irrational beliefs inventory Jones(1968). data analysis illustrated that neurosis and agreement had a direct positive effect on marital abjuration, but extroversion, conscientiousness, attributional style, and distinctness had a direct negative effect on it. openness had no negative, meaningful effect on marital abjuration. Results of Bootstrap analysis also showed that through irrational beliefes extroversion, openness, agreement, conscientiousness, attributioal style, and self distinctness had indirect effect on marital abjuration. according to the findings , personal attributes, attributional style, self distinctness, and irrational beliefes are predictive of marital abjuration. Therefore, including these factors in pre-marriage trainings and consultation would be of great importance.
