Background and Objectives: Love trauma is a common phenomenon in students that causes various academic and psychological problems. The present study aimed to investigate the development of a model for predicting love trauma based on problem-solving styles with the mediating role of cognitive flexibility in the students of Mohaghegh Ardabili University.
Materials and Methods: This study was descriptive-correlation. The statistical population included all the students of Mohaghegh Ardabili University in the second semester of the academic year 2019-2020, out of which, a sample of 200 students was selected via purposive sampling method and responded to Love Trauma (Rosse), Cognitive Flexibility (Dennis et al.) and Problem Solving Styles (Cassidy et al.) questionnaires. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.
Results: The results showed that love trauma was negatively associated with cognitive flexibility (r=-0.51, p<0.001) and problem-solving styles (r=-0.64, p<0.001). Moreover, cognitive flexibility was positively associated with problem-solving styles (r=0.32, p<0.001). Model fitness indicators also confirmed the effect of problem-solving styles on love trauma through the cognitive flexibility.
Conclusion: According to the role of problem-solving styles and cognitive flexibility in the prediction of love trauma, it is recommended to hold training workshops based on reducing the symptoms of love trauma and teaching problem-solving strategies and emotion management.
