摘要

In the challenging economic climate of Iran, men—often the primary breadwinners—are increasingly exposed to financial and psychological pressures. This situation can be accompanied by harms that need to be investigated. This study aimed to examine a model of the relationship between financial well-being, suicidality, and intimate partner violence (IPV), with an emphasis on the mediating role of defeat among Iranian men. This quantitative study employed a correlational design and structural equation modeling (SEM) method. A total of 385 married men residing in Karaj, Iran, voluntarily participated in the study in 2024 and completed the online research instruments. Data were collected using the InCharge Financial Distress/Financial Well-Being Scale (IFDFW), Defeat Scale (DS), Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (BSSI), and Revised Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS). Analyses were conducted using SPSS-26 and AMOS-24. The model indices indicated a good fit. The model showed that defeat was correlated with suicidal ideation (β = .484, p < .001) and IPV (β = .641, p < .001). Lower financial well-being was negatively correlated with suicidal ideation (β = .203, p < .001), IPV (β = .626, p < .001), and defeat (β = .364, p < .001). Furthermore, the indirect pathway showed that lower financial well-being was correlated with suicidal ideation (β = .145, p < .05) and IPV (β = .127, p < .05) through the mediation of defeat. According to the proposed conceptual model, defeat plays a key role in linking men’s financial conditions with psychological and interpersonal outcomes. Interventions aimed at reducing feelings of defeat, such as financial counseling, stress management programs, and psychosocial support, may help prevent suicidal ideation and IPV. These efforts can contribute not only to improving men’s mental health but also to the well-being of families and the broader community.
