Objective: Migraine is a profoundly debilitating condition that psychological variables can affect it. The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of coping styles and perceived social support in the relationship between temperament and character dimensions and psychological well-being in people with migraine. Method: This study was a correlational study. The statistical population included all people with migraine in Rasht in 1398 who referred to a neurologist. The sample consisted of 432 people (276 female and 156 male) who were selected by available sampling method. Instruments used in this study included the temperament and character inventory (TCI-56), psychological well-being scale (PWB), coping responses inventory (CRI), and multidimensional scale of perceived social support (MSPSS). Findings: Path analysis showed that the psychological well-being in people with migraine is influenced by temperament and character dimensions, coping styles and perceived social support. Also, the mediating role of coping styles and perceived social support in the relationship between temperament and character dimensions and psychological well-being was confirmed. To evaluate the model, CFI (0.91), GFI (0.93), NFI (0.91), and RMSEA (0.07) indices were used and the proposed model fit well with the data. Conclusion: Psychological factors play a role in the psychological well-being of people with migraines. Therefore, identifying these variables could have important implications for psychological migraine treatments.
