摘要：This study aimed to investigate the effect of communication skills on sexual satisfaction with the mediatory effect of personality traits among individual filing for divorce in Shiraz. A descriptive-correlation research design was used in this study. In addition, path analysis was used for modeling the research variables. The sample under study was selected randomly from people filing for divorce at Shiraz Family Court in the first seven months of 2014. The sample size based on the number of questionnaires distributed consisted of 115 divorce applicants. The instruments used to collect data were the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI), Communication Skills Scale (Dastan et al., 2010), and Sexual Satisfaction Scale (Yavari Kermani, 2007). The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics by AMOS18. The results of path analysis showed that verbal skills and empathy have a positive impact on the respondents’ sexual satisfaction (β = 0.07, P > 0.05) but it is not significant. However, by mediation of personality traits, verbal skills and empathy have a positive significant impact on the respondents’ sexual satisfaction (β = 0.17, P < 0.01). In total, verbal skills and empathy have a positive significant impact on the respondents’ sexual satisfaction (β = 0.24, P < 0.05) and thus verbal skills can improve sexual satisfaction under the influence of personality traits. The findings of the study underline the necessity of paying attention to communication skills as an important principle and personality traits as one of the aspects of mental health.
