Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this study is to formulate the Ali Behzisti model based on optimal experiences (self-objective personality) and moral values with the mediation of dysfunctional attitudes. Dysfunctional attitudes drastically reduce the rate of well-being by creating unnecessary emotional disturbances. In fact, dysfunctional attitudes as an uncompromising belief in oneself, the world, and the future are rooted in one's pessimistic beliefs and often expressed in absolute and extreme terms.
Methods: The present study is a descriptive-analytical correlational study in which the relationships between the variables of moral values and optimal experiences and dysfunctional attitudes with well-being were examined using structural equations. The statistical population included all employees of Varamin Municipality in 2009. The number of these employees is 124. After working with employees and stating their research goals, they were asked questions about mental disorders such as hospitalization history, substance use, and diagnosis of any mental illness by psychiatrists and psychologists. After the necessary screenings, 115 people were selected as two-way samplers. The relationship between the variables was also examined by SPSS and LISREL software.
Results: The results showed that optimal experiences and moral values affect well-being. Dysfunctional attitudes also affect well-being. On the other hand, optimal experiences and moral values affect Dysfunctional attitudes.
Conclusion: Finally, it can be concluded that people in adulthood are faced with situations that may trigger primary dysfunctional attitudes. In this case, the person experiences exciting memories from childhood. These dysfunctional attitudes include irrational beliefs that one has about oneself, the world around oneself, and one's future, and that can lead to mental illness. These negative attitudes lead to pessimism and low Well-being levels.
