Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This cross-sectional study investigates how alexithymia mediates the link between maladaptive object relations and depression among 245 university students in Iran. Using path analysis, the authors found that difficulties in identifying and expressing emotions partially explain how unhealthy relational patterns contribute to depressive symptoms. The resource is primarily intended for researchers or clinicians interested in psychodynamic mechanisms and transdiagnostic risk factors.
