To achieve the objectives of the study, two scales were developed for the study: the flexibility scale, which consisted of (35) items distributed on four dimensions (the social dimension, creativity, tolerance, and decision), and the life satisfaction scale, which consisted of (32) items on four dimensions (self-affirmation, self-control, social competence, and family compatibility), and both of these characteristics were psychometric.), and their psychometric characteristics were confirmed.

Results: The results of the study showed that the level of psychological flexibility and life satisfaction among divorced women has a medium degree, and that psychological flexibility explains 60% of life satisfaction. Respectively, decision-making had the highest degree, followed by the social dimension, creativity, and finally tolerance.
