Abstract: (266 Views)

The present study was conducted to determine the fit of the structural model of depression based on the family process and content in childless couples with the mediating role of self-differentiation The research method was structural equation descriptive-correlation. The statistical population included all childless couples living in Gonbadkavus City in 2023, from which 130 couples (260 people) were selected through available sampling. Research tools included Beck depression questionnaires (Beck et al., 1963), family process and content (Samani, 2005), and self-differentiation (Skorn and Friedlander, 1998). The data were analyzed by structural equation analysis. The results showed the optimal fit of the research model. The results showed that among childless couples, the process and content of the family have a positive and meaningful effect on self-differentiation (P<0/001). Among childless couples, self-differentiation has a negative and significant effect on depression (P<0/001). Also, self-differentiation in childless couples mediates the effect of family process and content on depression in a negative and meaningful way (P<0/001); Therefore, it can be concluded that self-differentiation according to the role of the family process and content can explain the depression of childless couples.
