Literature: Numerous studies have examined the relationship between family performance and social interest. However, no study has examined the structural model of the relationship between family performance and social interest with the mediating role of self-differentiation.
Purpose: The present study aimed to examine the relationship between family performance and social interest with the mediating role of self-differentiation in university students.
Method: The present study was a structural equation correlational study using PLS software and survey method. The statistical population of the study included all the students of Islamic Azad University of Khomeini Shahr Branch in the 2019-2020 academic year. The sample size was 300 students who were selected by random cluster sampling based on the number of students in different faculties. The Family Assessment Device (FAD) by Epstein, Baldwin, and Bishop (1983), the Differentiation of Self Inventory by Skowron and Friedlander (1998), and Social Interest Index by Greever et al. (1973) were used to collect research data.
Results: Testing the research model showed that the direct effect of family performance on social interest has been confirmed. On the other hand, considering the significant effect of family performance on self-differentiation as well as self-differentiation on social interest, the mediating role of self-differentiation in the relationship between family performance and social interest is confirmed (p<0.05). Accordingly, family performance both has a direct effect on social interest and affects social interest through self-differentiation.
Conclusion: Among the achievements of this study, the increase in self-differentiation can be mentioned which improves family performance and in this way enhances social interest.
