Aim: Considering the effects of hidden communication aggression and its consequences on the couple's relations, reducing it can diminish its consequences. The present study aimed to examine the model of direct and indirect effects of self-esteem and communication skills on sexual satisfaction with mediating role of hidden aggression dimensions of spouses in female nurses of public and private hospitals in Shiraz city. Methods: The study sample consisted of 310 female nurses selected through the two-stage random cluster sampling method. The research method was correlational, and the research tools were the Self-Esteem Scale (SES), the Marital Social-Skills Inventory (MSSI), the Hidden Communication Aggression Scale (HCAS), and the Sexual Satisfaction Scale for Women (SSSW). Data analysis was done using Pearson's correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling. Results: The results showed that there was a significant relationship in the direct paths of self-esteem to the social image sabotage, self-esteem to emotional withdrawal, communication skills to emotional withdrawal, self-esteem to sexual satisfaction, communication skills to sexual satisfaction, social image sabotage to sexual satisfaction, and emotional withdrawal to sexual satisfaction, but the relation of communication skills to the social image sabotage was not significant (P=0.41). Also, the mediating role of emotional withdrawal was significant between self-esteem and sexual satisfaction (P=0.006, b=0.038) and between communication skills and sexual satisfaction (P=0.006, b=-0.062) at P<0.05. But the mediating role of the social image sabotage variable was not significant between communication skills and sexual satisfaction (P=0.20, b=0.027) and between self-esteem and sexual satisfaction (p=0.06, b=-0.034). Conclusion: Researchers interested in this field are suggested to examine the effect of home violence and especially covert violence in other psychological variables so that the results of this type of violence in married life can be better recognized. The results of this research on self-esteem showed that people with high self-esteem have higher quality and satisfaction in their relationships and married life. Thus, those responsible for the education and upbringing of people since childhood (family, teachers, counselors, etc.) should attempt to increase this spirit in people and make the increase of this spirit in the individual a priority of their work

< p >This study examined the simple and multiple relationships of fear of success, self-esteem, perfectionism and fear of negative evaluation with imposter syndrome in graduate students of shahid chamran university (Ahvaz-Iran). Two samples including 500 subjects were randomly selected for this study: 300 subjects for testing the hypothesis and 200 subjects for the scales validation phase. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression statistical methods. Subjects completed 5 scales: Clance Imposter Phenomenon Scale (CIPS), Fear of Success Scale (FOSS), Eysenck’s Self-esteem Test (EST), Ahvaz Perfectionism Scale (APS) and Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale (FNE). This research tested five major hypotheses about the relationships between the research variables. The results of the research indicated that fear of negative evaluation has a positive correlation and self-esteem has a negative correlation with imposter syndrome. In addition, multiple correlation of fear of success, self-esteem, perfectionism, and fear of negative evaluation with imposter syndrome was statistically significant. Fear of success and perfectionism were the best predictors of imposter syndrome, in female and male graduate students.

This paper investigates the relationship between self-esteem, social anxiety, perfectionism and assertiveness in students of Shahied Chamran University in Ahvaz, Iran. In this study 320 students (160 females and 160 males) were randomly selected. Subjects completed the Assertiveness Self-Report Inventory (ASRI), Eysenck Self-Esteem Test, Social Anxiety Scale (SAS), and Ahvaz Perfectionism Scale (APS). The results showed that (for all the male and female students) the correlation between self-esteem and assertiveness was positive; while the correlation of social anxiety with assertiveness was negative and (for all the male and female students) perfectionism and assertiveness had a negative correlation. In female subjects, a significant correlation coefficient was not observed between perfectionism and assertiveness. The results of regression analysis indicated that the addition of social anxiety to self-esteem significantly increases the relationship with assertiveness (for all students). In male subjects, social anxiety was a good predictor of assertiveness, but in females self-esteem was the best predictor.
