Akram Nouri, Hooman Namvar

Abstract


This study aims to predict the perfectionism of immigrant women based on the perceived stress factor with the mediating role of empathy. This research is theoretical and descriptive and is correlational in terms of research method. The statistical population is women immigrants to Iran who were randomly, purposefully and voluntarily selected from 300 people. Data collection tools include Hill Perfectionism Questionnaire (2004), Cohen et al. Perceived Stress Scale, Davis Empathy Questionnaire. The analysis was performed through descriptive and inferential statistical indicators and focused on path analysis. The result of processing the relationship between variables and calculating factor loads showed that empathy has an effect on perfectionism and perceived stress on empathy. The effect of perceived stress on the perfectionism variable is not significant; the effect of perceived stress on empathy is significant.
