Predicting the psychological well-being of mothers of children with special learning disabilities based on their level of perfectionism and life hope

The aim of this study was to predict the psychological well-being of mothers of children with special learning disabilities based on their perfectionism and life hope in Bonab. The present study was a correlational study. The statistical population of the present study consisted of mothers of children with special learning disabilities and the research sample consisted of 80 mothers who were selected by convenience sampling. Snyder's Hope Questionnaire (SHQ), Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS), and Reef Psychological Well-Being Scale (RPWBS) were used to collect data. For data analysis, correlation coefficient significance test and stepwise regression analysis were used. The results indicate that life hope has a direct and significant relationship with psychological well-being and self-centered perfectionism, has a significant inverse relationship with psychological well-being (P<0.01). The results of linear regression analysis also showed that self-centered perfectionism and life hope are 44% of the variance related to psychological well-being. The findings of the present study can pave the way for further research on the role of personality and psychological structures on the psychological well-being of mothers of children with special needs in the future.
