  The purpose of this study was to determine the mediating role of emotional dysregulation in the relationship between mother’s child abuse potential and components of patience. The sample consisted of 300 mothers in Bushehr, whose children were enrolled in the pre-school in the year of 2017-2018. The participants were selected through targeted-sampling method and completed the questionnaires of Patience (Khormaee, Farmani & Soltani, 2014), Emotional Dysregulation (Bradley, DeFife, Guarnaccia, Phifer, Fani, Ressler & Wetsen, 2011) and, a short form of Child Abuse Potential Scale (Ondersma, Chaffin, & LeBreton, 2005). Structural equation modeling was used for data analysis. The findings showed the optimal fitness of assumed model and indicated partial mediation role of the emotional dysregulation components in the relationship between the mother’s patience and her child abuse potential. The direct and indirect effects of patience components on child abuse potential were discussed. The final model, in general, emphasizes on the importance of considering patience in the process of family trainings, especially mothers. Manuscript profile

  This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of child abuse potential in the relationship between dimensions of mother’s attachment and mother’s reflective functioning with preschool aggression. This study examined the relationships of the variables as correlation research by path analysis method. The statistical population of the research included mothers with preschool children (4 to 6 years) in Mashhad. For this purpose, 337 mothers were selected through convenient sampling and were asked to fill the Parental Reflective Functioning Questionnaire (Luyten, Mayes, Nijssens & Fonagy, 2017), the Revised Adult Attachment Scale (Collins,1996), the Brief Child Abuse Potential Inventory (Ondersma, Chaffin, Mullins & LeBreton, 2005) and the parent form of Preschool Aggression Scale (Vahedi, Fathiazar, Hosseini nasab & Moghadam, 2008) which were available online. The results of the path analysis, which confirmed the model fit, showed that attachment anx- iety has indirect effects on aggression through the path of pre-mentalization-child abuse potential. The indirect effects of attachment anxiety on preschool aggression through the certainty about mental states and curiosity in the mental states were also significant. Also, the only indirect effect of attachment avoidance on aggression was through child abuse potential. The research findings indicate the role of attachment and reflective functioning in identifying potentials related to mothers’ abuse potential and preschool aggression. Manuscript profile
