Abstract: (31 Views)
The present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of mentalization in the relationship between defense mechanisms and the tendency to risky behaviors in students. The research method was descriptive-correlational structural modeling. The statistical population included undergraduate students aged 18 to 24 years at Tehran's Azad University in the academic year 2023-2024. From this population, 410 people were selected as samples using the available sampling method. The research instruments included the Defense Styles Questionnaire (DSQ) by Andrews et al. (1993), the Risk-taking Scale (RS) by Zadeh Mohammadi and Ahmadabadi (2008), and the Mentalization Questionnaire (MQ) by Fonagy et al. (1998). Structural equation analysis was used to analyze the data. The results indicated a favorable fit of the research model. The results indicated a significant direct effect of defense mechanisms and mentalization on the tendency to risky behaviors (P<0.01). The results also indicated a significant indirect effect of mature and immature defense mechanisms (P<0.05) and a non-significant effect of neurotic defense mechanisms (P>0.05) on the tendency to risky behaviors mediated by mentalization (P=0.001). These results indicate that mentalization, considering the role of defense mechanisms, can explain the tendency to risky behaviors of students.
