| Summary: | Background and Objectives: Attachment to God and human spiritual growth have increasingly attracted the attention of psychologists and experts over the past few decades. Accordingly, this study determines the mediating role of attachment to God in the relationship between spiritual intelligence and life satisfaction among married female students in Qom City, Iran.
Methods: Initially, attachment to God was determined by carefully reviewing and studying the theoretical literature and analyzing the studies of researchers in spiritual intelligence and life satisfaction with religious themes. Then, based on the mental model and dynamic hypotheses derived from the interactions between the involved factors, qualitative modeling was conducted in the form of cause-effect diagrams. Subsequently, a questionnaire was administered to 120 married female students in Qom City, Iran, who were selected via simple random sampling, and data analysis was performed using the SPSS software, version 2020 and Amos software, version 26.
Results: The two components of attachment to God and spiritual intelligence, within the context of a dynamic and relatively complex system, played a fundamental role in life satisfaction from the perspective of religious teachings. Life satisfaction was related to the interaction between spiritual intelligence and attachment to God.
Conclusion: Attention to the interconnected relationship of the components of spiritual intelligence, with the mediating role of attachment to God, demonstrates that religious teachings, as part of a comprehensive and dynamic system, are essential in all policy-making areas concerning individual life satisfaction. |
