Abstract
The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the psychometric characteristics of the emotional dyslexia questionnaire and its relationship with defense mechanisms in teachers in Tehran in the academic year of 1402-1401. This research was based on the fundamental objective and correlational in terms of the descriptive method. 500 people were randomly selected from the available sampling method as the sample size of the first group and 90 people were randomly selected for the second stage of the questionnaire. Data were collected using the Bermond-Worst (2001) ataxia questionnaire and the Andrews et al. (1993) defense mechanism questionnaire. Data analysis was done with exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha test, Pearson's correlation coefficient and step-by-step multiple regression in SPSS-26 and AMOS-24 software. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the five-factor model of this questionnaire (RESMA=0.026), CFI=0.99, GFI=0.91, and RFI=0.96. According to the findings, it can be concluded that alexia and its components have a significant direct relationship with an underdeveloped defense mechanism. Alexia, except for the difficulty in abstract thinking, has a significant direct relationship with a developed defense mechanism.
