Designing a model based on mindfulness, nonexistential resistance to life and sociability focusing on search for meaning in life in divorced women

摘要

To study the structural relationship between mindfulness, non-existential-resistance-to-life, sociability variables and their relationship with search-for-meaning-in-life (model's central point), 216 divorced women (20-45 yrs.) were selected from Tehran counseling centers through cluster random selection. The tool devised by the researcher was a questionnaire based on the four variables of mindfulness, non-existential-resistance-to-life, sociability and search-for-meaning-in-life. Following the data analysis using AMOS, a model including 6 direct, 2 indirect paths with proper fitness was devised. Thus, designing theoretical frameworks would provide the possibility of designing more precise therapeutic, educational interventions for researchers, counselors and psychologists.
