In this regard, the main question is whether there are significant relationships between the dimensions of psychological capitals (hope, resiliency, optimism, and efficiency) and emotional empathy components (cognitive, social and emotional empathy) by mediating aesthetic intelligence or not? Aims: The present study aimed to explain the relationships between the dimensions of psychological capitals and emotional empathy components by mediating aesthetics intelligence. Method: The present study was a correlational-descriptive design. 205 high school students of the city of Touyserkan were selected by stratified cluster sampling. Data were collected using the psychological capital questionnaire (Luthans and Avolio, 2007), the intelligence aesthetic scale (Rashid and Hasanvand, 1393), and the emotional empathy scale (Baron-Cohen, 2003). Data were analyzed through structural equation modeling. Results: Results showed that there were significant relationships between the dimensions of psychological capitals and emotional empathy components (p<0/001). Also, among the variables and components under study, aesthetics had the highest effect on emotional empathy and the efficacy had the least effect on aesthetics. Conclusions: with the change in each of the dimensions of psychological capitals, the individuals’ emotional empathy components change and, of course, the individuals’ aesthetic intelligence is effective in this regard.
