Comparison of the marital attitude based on the severity of mind wandering in single students

The aim of this study was the comparison of the marital attitude based on the severity of mind wandering in single students. The research method was descriptive and causal-comparative. The statistical population consisted of all single students of Islamic Azad University, Central Tehran Branch, in the academic year 2019-2020.100 people with mild mind wandering and 142 people with severe mind wandering were selected by convenience sampling method. To collect the data, the marital attitude scale (Barton and Rosen, 1998) and the mind wandering scale (Career and Sally, 2013) were used.  To analyze the data, an independent t-test was used. The results showed that the mean of pessimistic attitude in the group of severe mind-wandering was significantly higher than the group of mild mind wondering (p>0/05). The mean of optimistic, realistic, and idealistic attitudes was significantly higher in the mild mind wondering group than the severe mind wondering group (p>0/05). It is suggested that training be given to single students to reduce mind wandering to improve their attitudes toward marriage.
