Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare intact-couples vs divorce- seeking couples in Ahvaz in terms of the similarity of their values (abstract, artistic, religious, social, political) and attitudes toward child-rearing, education and family sustenance. The hypotheses maintained in this study were:(1) intact couples have more similarity (i. e. homogeneity) in their values than divorce-seeking couples; (2) intact-couples are more similar in terms of their triple attitudes. The sample of the study consisted of 100 randomly selected couples, 50 intact and 50 divorce-seeking: Allport-Vernon-Lindzey Values Scales, Child-rearing Scale, Attitude toward Family, and Attitude toward Education Scales were used. The results showed that intàctP -couples were more similar in terms of their attitudes and artistic and economic values. The significant level of a=0.05 was adopted in this research.
