Purpose: The purpose of this research was to explain the
model of resilience based on personality traits with the
mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation in women with
addicted spouses in Tehran.
Materials and methods: The present research method was a
correlational description. The socio-statistics of the research
were women with drug addict husbands in Tehran in 1400,
from which 232 people were selected as the research sample
using available sampling method. In this research, tools of
resilience (Connor and Davidson, 2003), personality traits
(McCree and Costa, 1985) and cognitive emotional regulation
(Garnefsky and Craig, 2006) were used. Amos-V8.8 software
was used to analyze the data. Also, in order to analyze the
research data, structural equation modeling method was used.
The research findings showed that the research model has a
good fit.
Findings: The results showed that the adaptive strategies of
cognitive regulation of emotion positively and meaningfully
affect the relationship between neuroticism, extroversion,
openness, agreeableness and conscientiousness with
resilience, and the non-adaptive strategies of cognitive
regulation of emotion have a positive and significant effect on
the relationship between neuroticism and neuroticism.
Temperament, extroversion, openness, agreeableness and
conscientiousness mediate with resilience in a negative and
significant way in women with addicted husbands.
Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, it is
necessary to plan to improve resilience in women with
addicted spouses. And health professionals and therapists can
help to improve resilience in women with addicted spouses
through recognizing personality traits and teaching emotional
regulation components, adjusting and replacing emotional
adaptive strategies.
