psychological well-being through the mediator variable of passionate obsessive
love. Materials
and Methods: In this descriptive study, three
hundred students of Lorestan University of Medical Sciences were recruited
using multi-stage cluster sampling method from January to mid-February 2014.
The questionnaires consisted of demographic questions, the Psychological
Well-being Scale (PWBS-18), the Passionate Love Scale (PLS-30) and the Millon
Clinical Multi axial Inventory-III (MCMI-III). Descriptive indices and
structural equations model were used for data analysis. Results: The results
indicated that the relationship between psychological well-being with obsessive
love Conclusion: These results indicate that
passionate obsessive love may be an important factor through which the negative
effects of generalized anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive personality
