The aim of this study was to examine the prediction of personality disorders based on complex trauma with the mediating of ego empowerment. The research method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of the present study was all male and female undergraduate students of Shahid Rajaee Teacher Training University in Tehran in the first semester of the academic year 2020-2021. A total of 161 girls and boys participated in this study by available random sampling method. To collect research data, Scales of Personality Questionnaire (SCID-II), Bell Object Relationship Questionnaire (BORI) and Ego Empowerment Scale (PIES) were used. The collected data were analyzed through Pearson correlation coefficient and path analysis. Findings showed all research variables had a significant correlation with each other. Complex trauma %-34.5 of ego empowerment variance has explained negatively. Complex trauma with the mediating role of ego empowerment has been able to predict %25/1 of the variance of personality disorders in and student teachers. Also, complex trauma has been able to explain %41/7 of the variance of personality disorders in student teachers alone. In general, when a childhood complex trauma develops in the student teachers, the ego also grows poorly, and as a result, the student teachers are exposed to personality disorders.
