Introduction: Social harm impacts all aspects of society, both directly and indirectly. One of the most significant social harms is divorce, which negatively affects educational, socio-cultural, family, and economic indicators. This study aims to investigate and measure the factors that can help reduce divorce rates. Specifically, the article explores the influence of family, economic, educational, and socio-cultural indicators on decreasing rural divorce, as perceived by the villagers, using a structural equation modeling approach.
Methods: This study is classified as applied research in terms of its objective and descriptive-correlational research regarding its nature. The statistical population includes two thousand eight hundred ninety-four heads of households from a selected village in the South Subdistrict of Islamabad Gharb city in the year 1402. Using Cochran's formula, a sample of three hundred thirty-nine household heads was selected through a simple random sampling method. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software and structural equation modeling (Smart PLS). The observed variables in this research were organized into four components: educational, socio-cultural, family, and economic.
Results: The results indicate that the validity of all four models measuring indicators effective in reducing divorce is acceptable. The t coefficients for the main research variables exceeded two and a half, signifying a significant and direct relationship. This implies that the educational, socio-cultural, family, and economic dimensions positively and significantly influence the reduction of divorce. The R-squared value reveals that nearly four-fifths of the reduction in divorce can be explained by these four dimensions, with the family dimension demonstrating the highest effectiveness, indicated by a coefficient of almost nine-tenths. Therefore, it is recommended that greater attention be given to economic indicators to enhance the overall outcome in reducing divorce rates.
Conclusions: Research findings indicate that four key components—educational, socio-cultural, family, and economic—effectively reduce divorce rates. |
