Abstract

Objective: The present study was designed to examine the college student's mental health predication model based on religious faith mediated by happiness, ambivalent attachment style and ‎locus of control. Methods: The method of study was correlational. The statistical population included all college students of the Shiraz University in the academic year of 2013-2014. The sample included 240 college students selected by convenience sampling method. Measures included the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28, 1979), the Religious Faith Scale (RFS, 2014), the Oxford Happiness Scale (OHI, 1989), the Collins and Read Attachment Scale (RAAS, 1990), and the Rotter’s Locus of Control Scale (RLCS, 1966). The data were analyzed by multiple regression, path analysis and structural equation modeling methods. Results: The data were analyzed by multiple regression, path analysis and structural equation modeling methods. The results of the study show that the variables of religious faith (ρ = 0.0001, β = 0.29), happiness variable (ρ = 0.0001, β = 0.37) and ambivalent attachment (ρ = 0.0001, β = 0.29) were able to predict mental health in a positive and meaningful way. Likewise, religious faith positively and significantly predicted happiness (ρ = 0.0001, β = 0.54) and ambivalent attachment (ρ = 0.0001, β = -0.21) negatively and meaningfully. The religious faith could not predict the locus of control. The mediating role of happiness was confirmed. However, the mediating role of ambivalent attachment style and locus of control was not confirmed. Conclusion: The modified model confirmed the mediating role of happiness between religious faith and mental health. Therefore, those components of faith that lead to happiness might be a protective marker for mental health.

宗教信仰对大学生心理健康的预测:幸福感、矛盾依恋类型和控制源的中介作用

目的:研究基于宗教信仰的大学生心理健康预测模型，探讨幸福感、矛盾依恋类型和控制源对心理健康的影响。方法:采用相关研究方法。统计人群为设拉子大学2013-2014学年所有在校大学生。采用方便抽样法抽取240名大学生作为调查对象。测量方法包括一般健康问卷(GHQ-28, 1979)、宗教信仰量表(RFS, 2014)、牛津幸福量表(OHI, 1989)、Collins and Read依恋量表(RAAS, 1990)和Rotter控制源量表(RLCS, 1966)。采用多元回归、路径分析和结构方程建模等方法对数据进行分析。结果:采用多元回归、通径分析和结构方程建模等方法对数据进行分析。研究结果表明，宗教信仰变量(ρ = 0.0001， β = 0.29)、幸福变量(ρ = 0.0001， β = 0.37)和矛盾依恋变量(ρ = 0.0001， β = 0.29)对心理健康有正向、有意义的预测作用。同样，宗教信仰对幸福感(ρ = 0.0001， β = 0.54)和矛盾依恋(ρ = 0.0001， β = -0.21)的预测也具有显著的正向和负向意义。宗教信仰不能预测控制的根源。幸福感的中介作用得到了证实。然而，矛盾依恋类型和控制点的中介作用尚未得到证实。结论:修正后的模型证实了幸福感在宗教信仰与心理健康之间的中介作用。因此，那些导致幸福的信仰成分可能是心理健康的保护标志。

期刊介绍： Clinical Practice in Pediatric Psychology® publishes articles representing the professional and applied activities of pediatric psychology. The journal comprehensively describes the breadth and richness of the field in its diverse activities;complements the scientific development of the field with information on the applied/clinical side;provides modeling that addresses the ways practicing pediatric psychologists incorporate empirical literature into day-to-day activities;emphasizes work that incorporates and cites evidence from the science base; andprovides a forum for those engaged in primarily clinical activities to report on their activities and inform future research activities. Articles include a range of formats such as commentaries, reviews, and clinical case reports in addition to more traditional empirical clinical studies. Articles address issues such as: professional and training activities in pediatric psychology and interprofessional functioning;funding/reimbursement patterns and the evaluation of the cost-effectiveness of clinical services;program development;organization of clinical services and workforce analyses;applications of evidence based interventions in "real world" settings with particular attention to potential barriers and solutions and considerations of diverse populations;critical analyses of professional practice issues;clinical innovations, e.g., emerging use of technology in clinical practice;case studies, particularly case studies that have enough detail to be replicated and that provide a basis for larger scale intervention studies; andorganizational, state and federal policies as they impact the practice of pediatric psychology, with a particular emphasis on changes due to health care reform.
