Grounded in Interpersonal Acceptance-Rejection Theory, this exploratory study investigated the associations among perceived intimate partner acceptance, intimate partner control, psychological adjustment and marital adjustment of 624 (360 female, 264 male) married individuals. Intimate Partner Acceptance-Rejection/Control Questionnaire, Personality Assessment Questionnaire, Dyadic Adjustment Scale, and Demographic Form were utilized to gather data. Path analysis by structural equation modeling (SEM) was used as the primary analysis to test the proposed model of the study. The results of path analysis indicated that intimate partner behavioral control was significantly and indirectly associated with psychological and marital adjustment through the mediating effect of intimate partner acceptance. Moreover, intimate partner acceptance had direct effects on marital and psychological adjustment. Psychological adjustment was directly associated with marital adjustment. The indirect effect of intimate partner acceptance on marital adjustment via mediation of psychological adjustment was found to be significant. Lastly, the proposed sequential mediation by intimate partner acceptance and psychological adjustment in the relationship between intimate partner control and marital adjustment was also significant and negative. The findings of the study were discussed within the framework of IPARTheory. Implications for practice and recommendations for further research were mentioned.
