Satisfaction with marital life depends on several factors, and one of the important factor that influencing marital satisfaction is sexual self-efficacy. The aim of this study was to determine the mediating role of sexual self-efficacy between personality characteristics and marital satisfaction.

Descriptive statistics, correlation coefficient, path analysis and bootstrap test were used to analyze the data using SPSS and AMOS softwares. Results: the results showed that there were significant correlations between personality characteristics (conscientiousness, extraversion, neuroticism) and sexual self-efficacy with marital satisfaction and sexual self-efficacy can significantly have a mediating role between extraversion & neuroticism and marital satisfaction.
