ABSTRACT
Aims
Family is the most influential part of society, and a healthy community needs a healthy family; so, any harm that comes into the family and its functions is very important. Emotional divorce is one of those harms that some families face. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the role of mediating coping strategies in male adolescents in families of NAJA personnel with emotional divorce.
Materials & Methods The present study is a correlational research conducted by Structural Equation Modeling method on all male adolescents aged 15 to 18 years old in families of NAJA personnel, who were referred to clinics and counseling centers of this organization and were diagnosed with emotional divorce. A total of 300 people were randomly selected and they completed the questionnaires of psychological capital, personality traits, and coping strategies. The data were analyzed by Pearson correlation and structural equation modeling, using SPSS 19 and LISREL 8.80 software.
Findings Personality traits and coping strategies had a significant relationship with psychological capital. Personality traits and coping strategies had a direct effect on psychological capital. In addition, personality traits had an indirect effect on psychological capital due to coping strategies.
Conclusion Neuroticism, flexibility, consistency, conscientiousness, and coping strategies have a positive effect on psychological capital that can be used to strengthen the psychological capital of adolescents in families with emotional divorce.
