Abstract: (226 Views)
Objective: The present study aimed to examine the mediating role of personality functions and mentalization in the relationship between paternal love deprivation and non‑suicidal self‑injury in 2025.
Methods: Considering its objective, the research is applied in nature, and because no intervention was made in the generation of the data, it is descriptive and of a causal‑explanatory type. The study employed a structural equation modeling approach (Delavar, 2016). Data were collected using a field method. The statistical population consisted of all students of Quchan University of Technology during the 2023–2024 academic year (N = 3,548). Using a single‑stage cluster random sampling method, 384 students were selected as the sample. The research instruments included the short form of the NEO Five‑Factor Inventory (NEO‑FFI), the Persian version of the Reflective Functioning Questionnaire (RFQ; Fonagy, 2016), the Paternal Love Deprivation Scale by Xiang and Zhou (2023), and the Ottawa Self‑Injury Inventory (OSI). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and path analysis with PLS software.
Results: The results showed that the obtained significance level (0.000) was lower than the error level of 0.05, indicating that the research hypotheses were confirmed.
Conclusions: In other words, the mediating role of personality functions and mentalization in the relationship between paternal love deprivation and non‑suicidal self‑injury among students was supported.
