الدور الوسيط لتقدير الذات الجنسي بين سمات الشخصية المرضية والغيرة الزوجية لدى المعلمات المتزوجات
The research aimed to identify the mediating role of sexual self-esteem between pathological personality traits and marital jealousy among married female teachers. The sample consisted of (162) married female teachers in Qena Governorate (Abutisht administers). The sexual self-esteem scale was used, which was a subscale of the sexuality scale (Snell and Papini, 1989), translated by the researcher; and the pathological personality traits scale (Bach et al., 2020), translated by the researcher; the marital jealousy scale was prepared by the researcher. The results indicated a high level of marital jealousy and low sexual self-esteem among married female teachers, there was also a statistically significant negative correlation at the level (0.01) between sexual self-esteem, dimensional marital jealousy, and the total score among married female teachers. There was also a statistically significant positive correlation at the level of (0.01) between pathological personality traits, marital jealousy, and the total score among married female teachers. Pathological personality traits also contribute to predicting marital jealousy among married female teachers, as pathological personality traits explained (60.4%) of the variance in marital jealousy among married female teachers. Sexual self-esteem also contributes to predicting marital jealousy among married female teachers, as it explained (35.1%) of the variance in marital jealousy among married female teachers. A structural model was also found that explained the relationship between pathological personality traits and marital jealousy in the presence of sexual self-esteem as a variable and mediator, where it was found that sexual self-esteem is a mediating variable between pathological personality traits (Detachment, Negative affectivity, Psychoticism, and Anakastia) and marital jealousy among married female teachers.
