Marital conflict is a type of lack of sustained, meaningful agreement between two spouses, which creates unfortunate consequences for couples and families and creates the basis for family breakup. Since many variables are involved in marital conflict, the present study aimed to determine the role of early maladaptive schemas and dark personality traits by mediating psychological hardiness in predicting marital conflicts in Yazd. The research method is descriptive correlational. The statistical population of the study was all couples in Yazd city in 2019. 300 couples were selected by convenience sampling method. Data were collected using Young's early maladaptive schema questionnaires, Barati and Sanai marital conflict questionnaires, Johnson and Webster's dark personality traits questionnaires, and Ahwaz psychological hardiness questionnaires. Data were analyzed using structural equation method. The results showed that early maladaptive schemas (domains of impaired limits, another direction and hypervigilance) in addition to the direct and significant effect (β = 0.38, P <0.01), (Β = 0.0289, P <0.01) and (β = 0.0264, P <0.01) on marital conflicts, indirectly and by psychological stubbornness (0.096, 0.147 And 0.124) can predict marital conflict. The results also showed that the direct effect of dark personality traits on marital conflict was not significant (β = 0.002, P <0.05), but these traits could predict marital conflict through psychological hardiness (0.053). Consequently, considering the significant association between early maladaptive schemas and dark personality traits and the role of psychological hardiness in predicting marital conflicts, considering these factors can be an effective step in the life satisfaction of couples.
