Pearson's correlation coefficient and regression test were used to analyze the data.Results: Results revealed an inverse relationship between alexithymia and psychological well-being (r = -0.388, p < 0.01). Approximately 53% of the variance in psychological well-being scores could be attributed to alexithymia.Conclusion: In conclusion, alexithymia serves as an effective predictor of maternal psychological well-being.
