摘要

Couples’ emotional well-being is related to emotion regulation and couple burnout. Stress levels and challenges can make it difficult for them to express their emotions. Authenticity, exhibiting one’s “true” self, is critical for couples recognizing and expressing their emotions, reducing conflict and stress in the relationship. This research explores the moderating role of authenticity in relationships, the sex of parents, and having children in the relationship between difficulty in emotion regulation and couple burnout. The study included a total of 602 married individuals. The data were collected using Authenticity in Relationships, Difficulty in Emotion Regulation, and Couple Burnout scales. The formulated hypotheses were analyzed using Model 3 of the PROCESS macro extension (v3.3) for SPSS v23 (Hayes, 2018). The Model results revealed that the interaction terms of difficulty in emotion regulation, authenticity in relationships, and sex were significant (β = − 0.24, p < 0.05). Additionally, there is a combined moderating effect of authenticity in relationships and having children on the relationship between difficulty in emotion regulation and spousal burnout (β = 0.29, p < 0.05). The findings obtained from the slope difference test were visually presented.
