Abstract
This study was conducted with the purpose of predicting mental health based on attachment styles, psychological-spiritual transformation and the perception of God among female students. This scientific-religious study is a descriptive-correlational research, and the population consists of all female students aged 18 to 45 years of Islamic Azad University, Qom branch, in 2020-2021. The sample includes 358 female students selected by the convenience sampling. To obtain the data, Goldberg's general health questionnaire, Collins and Reed's adult attachment scale, Janbozorgi's mental-spiritual transformation questionnaire, and Janbozorgi's self-concept and self-concept questionnaire were used. In this study, SPSS-24 software, multiple regression test, and Pearson correlation coefficient were applied for analysis. The results showed that about 17.2% of the variance of mental health is predicted by attachment styles, psychological-spiritual transformation, and the perception of God. Moreover, secure attachment style and psychological-spiritual transformation have a positive and significant relationship with mental health, and avoidant attachment style, ambivalent/anxious attachment style, and the perception of God have a negative and significant relationship with mental health. According to the results, it can be seen that secure attachment style, the increment of the level of psychological-spiritual transformation, and the reduction of the negative perception of God are the key factors in improving mental health.
