چکیده

نگرانی در مورد بازماندن از ازدواج و قرار گرفتن در تجرد قطعی منجر به پدید آمدن یکی از مشکلات روانشناختی به نام ترس از تجرد شده است. پژوهش حاضر با هدف بررسی نقش تعدیل­کننده سن و جنسیت در رابطه بین هوش هیجانی با ترس از تجرد در دانشجویان انجام شد. روش پژوهش توصیفی-همبستگی بود. جامعه آماری موردپژوهش کلیه دانشجویان دانشگاه تهران در سال تحصیلی 400-1399 بود که از میان آن­ها تعداد 415 نفر به روش نمونه­گیری در دسترس به‌عنوان نمونه انتخاب شدند. ابزار گردآوری اطلاعات شامل مقیاس ترس از تجرد اسپیلمان (2013) و مقیاس هوش هیجانی بار-آن (1997) بود که توزیع و تکمیل آن­ها به روش برخط انجام شد. داده­های پژوهش با استفاده از ضریب همبستگی پیرسون و آزمون روش تعدیلی هایس در نرم‌افزار 25SPSS- تجزیه‌وتحلیل شد. نتایج تجزیه و تحلیل آماری نشان داد که سن رابطه بین هوش هیجانی با ترس از تجرد را تعدیل می­کند؛ ولی جنسیت در رابطه بین هوش هیجانی با ترس از تجرد نقش تعدیل­­گر ندارد. با توجه به نتایج پژوهش حاضر، رابطه بین هوش هیجانی با ترس از تجرد فراتر از یک رابطه خطی ساده است و می­توان با ارائه برنامه­ها و مداخلات مبتنی بر تقویت هوش هیجانی در جهت پیشگیری و درمان ترس از تجرد گام نهاد.

چکیده [English]

Worrying about not getting married and ending up in absolute being single has led to the emergence of a psychological problem called the fear of being single. The present study aimed to investigate the moderating role of age and gender in the relationship between emotional intelligence and the fear of being single in college students. The study was conducted using a descriptive-correlational design. The statistical population included all students of the University of Tehran in the academic year 2019-2020. A total of 415 people were selected as the sample using the convenience sampling method. The data collection tools included Spielman’s Fear of Being Single Scale (FOBS) (2013) and Bar-On’s Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i) (1997), which were distributed and completed online. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and Hayes’ adjustment method with SPSS-25 software. The results of statistical analysis showed that age moderates the relationship between emotional intelligence and the fear of being single. However, gender does not play a moderating role in the relationship between emotional intelligence and the fear of being single. According to the results of the present study, the relationship between emotional intelligence and the fear of being single is more than a simple linear relationship, and it is possible to take steps to prevent and treat the fear of being single by developing programs and interventions based on strengthening emotional intelligence.
