Abstract :
The aim of the current research was to determine the relationship between social and environmental adaptation of defensive ways and categorical gains in mediations in primary school female students of Zanjan city. The research method was correlation. The statistical population was all primary school girls in Zanjan two cities, 200 of whom were selected using the available method. To collect data, Dechi's adjustment questionnaire (137), defense mechanism questionnaire from Andrews et al. (1993), Lazarus and Folkman's (1985) coping with stressful injuries questionnaire, and Floyd et al.'s experience (2005) were used. To analyze the data, Pearson's correlation coefficient and path analysis were used using SPSS version 25 and AMOS23 software. The results showed that parents' defense mechanisms have no significant effect on social adjustment, but problem-oriented strategies in parents can predict children's social adjustment. We also know the strategies of communication issues in parents and the defensive position of parents. Indirect results showed that anxiety plays a mediating role between problem strategies in parents and social adjustment. Also, evaluation plays a mediating role among defense mechanisms and social adaptation. Parents' children have a mediating role considering that the results show that there is a place for the defense and strategy of the problem in parents and the investigation of a meaningful role in the social adjustment of children, and school counselors and consultations in education are suggested. Treatment and education should be determined to increase social adaptation with joint planning reviews.
