Material and Method
The current research was descriptive and correlational, which carried out using structural equations. The statistical population of this study consisted of all migraine patients in Mashhad City located in Khorasan Razavi province, Iran, in 2022. 236 people were selected using available sampling. Participants answered the Psychological Wellbeing Questionnaire (short form) (Ryff, 1989), Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (Frost et al., 1990), Ruminative Response Scale (Nolen–Hoeksema & Morrow, 1991), and Positive and Negative Affect Scale (Watson et al., 1988). Data analyzed using structural equation modeling with SPSS–27 and AMOS–24
Result
The direct path coefficient between perfectionism and psychological well-being was negative and significant The direct path coefficient between perfectionism and negative affect was positive and significant . The direct path coefficient between negative affect and psychological well-being was negative and significant The direct effect of rumination on negative emotion was positive and significant Also, the coefficient of the indirect effect of perfectionism on psychological well-being through negative affect was significant addition, the indirect effect of rumination on psychological well-being through negative affect was significant
Conclusion
Based on the research results, it can be said that negative affect mediates the structural relationships between perfectionism and rumination with psychological well-being.
