Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of Hypomanic Activation, Demoralization and Dysfunctional Negative Emotions Based on the Minnesota multiphasic personality inventory-2-restructured form (MMPI-2RF) in anxiety, depression and sexual motivation of people with sexual dysfunction. This descriptive correlational study was performed on all persons with sexual dysfunction who referred to counseling centers and medical clinics in Mashhad for treatment of sexual problems. The sample included 336 individuals. An available sampling method was used to select the sample. Data were collected using the Minnesota multiphasic personality inventory-2-restructured form (MMPI-2RF) and the multidimensional sexual problems questionnaire (subscale of anxiety, depression and sexual motivation). Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis were used to investigate the research hypotheses using SPSS-22 software. Findings showed that there was a significant positive correlation between hypomanic activation, demoralization and dysfunctional negative emotions with anxiety and sexual depression and a negative significant relationship with sexual motivation (p < 0.01). In addition, it was found that hypomanic activation, demoralization and dysfunctional negative emotions explained 22% of the variance in sexual anxiety (R Square= 0.22). It was also found that 23% of the variance in sexual depression is explained by hypomanic activation and demoralization. Hypomanic activation and demoralization also account for 14% of the variance in sexual motivation. The findings of the present study indicate the role of hypomanic activation, demoralization and dysfunctional negative emotions in anxiety, depression and sexual motivation in patients with sexual dysfunction.
