Abstract
Background: Self-actualization which very few people succeed in achieving it, can lead to a feeling of happiness and life satisfaction. This developmental stage is based on the quality of people's perceived parenting that have experienced and the factors which have a role in it's formation indirectly. Married women and men, in the position of present or future parents, have a significant contribution in raising self-actualized people. However, the underlying factors of self-actualization in them as the most important educational model have not been identified so far, therefore they have been studied in this research.
Aims: The purpose of this study was evaluating the fit of the structural model of the relationship between perceived parenting, psychological flexibility and self-actualization in married women and men.
Methods: The research method was descriptive-correlational that conducted using structural equation modeling. The target population included all married women and men of Shiraz in 2023. The sample size included 409 people, selected by proportional stratified sampling method. Data were collected using Esmaeilkhani' s self-actualization (2001); Grolnick et al.'s perceived parenting (1997); and Ben –Itzhak et al.'s psychological flexibility (2014) questionnaires, and in order to analyze the data, SPSS and AMOS software were utilized.
Results: The results indicated that the proposed model fit the data. Also, the direct paths of parental autonomy support to psychological flexibility, parental warmth to self-actualization, and psychological flexibility to self-actualization were significant (P< 0.05). Furthermore, based on the results of the Bootstrap Test, parental autonomy support had an indirect and significant effect on self-actualization with the mediating role of psychological flexibility.
Conclusion: According to the results of this research, in order to train self-actualized people in the society, it is recommended that the educational institutions especially departments of education and training have long-term and macro planning in addition to intra-organizational planning in line with self-actualization training courses based on optimal parenting and also psychological flexibility for married women and men.
