| Abstract | Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between dysfunctional attitudes and existential anxiety with depression in people with Alzheimer's disease, mediated by temperament. Methods: The present study is a correlational study conducted in the form of structural equations. The statistical population of the present study consisted of people with symptoms of Alzheimer's disease in Tabriz. Through available non-random sampling, 366 of these individuals were selected. To collect the data, the tools of Weissman and Beck Dysfunctional Attitude Scale, Goode Existential Anxiety, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Memphis et al. Assessment Questionnaire [Temperament Evaluation of the Memphis, Pisa, Paris, and San Diego Auto-questionnaire (TEMPS-A)] were used. Results: The results of the statistical analyses conducted using structural equation modeling indicated that maladaptive attitudes and existential anxiety can predict depression in individuals exhibiting symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. Additionally, the mediating role of temperament in the relationship between maladaptive attitudes, existential anxiety, and depression in individuals with Alzheimer’s symptoms was also confirmed (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Based on the results, it can be inferred that temperament can be utilized to analyze the relationships between maladaptive attitudes and existential anxiety in individuals exhibiting symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. | en |
