Abstract: (12 Views)
The present study aimed to determine the mediating role of mentalization in the relationship between alexithymia and fear of intimacy in students. The research method was descriptive-correlational and structural equation modeling. The statistical population included students at Tabriz University in 2025, of whom 204 were selected by convenience sampling. The Fear of Intimacy Questionnaire (FIS; Deschutner & Tellen, 1991), the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20; Bagby et al., 1994), and the Mentalization Questionnaire (MQ; Fonagy et al., 1998) were used to collect data. Data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling. The results showed that the proposed model had a good fit. The findings also showed that alexithymia and mentalization had a direct and significant relationship with fear of intimacy (P<0.05); Also, alexithymia had a direct and significant relationship with mentalization (P<0.05). The results of the bootstrap test showed that mentalization had a mediating role in the relationship between alexithymia and fear of intimacy (P<0.05). Overall, the findings of the present study indicate that alexithymia is related to students' fear of intimacy both directly and indirectly through the mediation of mentalization.
