Abstract

The present research was conducted with the aim of predicting mental health based on attachment styles, psychological and spiritual development and the concept of God among female students. This scientific-religious research is of a descriptive-correlation type and the statistical population consists of all female students aged 18 to 45 years of the Islamic Azad University of Qom branch in 2020-2021. The statistical sample consists of 358 female students who were selected by available sampling method. To obtain data, Goldberg's general health questionnaires, Collins and Reed's attachment, Jon bozorgi psycho-spiritual development, and Jon bozorgi self-concept and self-concept were used. SPSS-24 software and multiple regression test and Pearson correlation coefficient were used for analysis. The results showed that about 17.2% of the variance of mental health is predicted by attachment styles, psychological and spiritual development, and the idea of God. Also, secure attachment style and spiritual psychological transformation have a positive and significant relationship with mental health, and avoidant attachment style, ambivalent/anxious attachment style, and the idea of God have a negative and significant relationship with mental health. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that secure attachment style, increasing the level of "psycho-spiritual transformation" and reducing the negative perception of God are key factors in improving mental health.
