Abstract

The present study was conducted with the aim of developing a model of attitude and practical commitment to prayer based on attachment styles to God with the mediating role of spiritual attitude. The present study design was descriptive-correlational, structural equation modeling, and fundamental in terms of purpose. The statistical population included all students of the University of Quran and Hadith in the academic year 1403-1404, from which a sample of 450 people was selected using the available non-random sampling method. To collect data, the scale of attitude and practical commitment to prayer by Anisi et al. (2010), the attachment questionnaire by Rawat and Kirkpatrick (2002), and the spiritual attitude measurement questionnaire by Shahidi and Farajnia (2012) were used. In data analysis, descriptive statistical methods including mean, standard deviation, Spearman correlation coefficient, and structural equation modeling by partial least squares were used in the inferential statistics section, and the data were analyzed by SPSS-27 and PLS smart-3 statistical software using the path analysis method. The results of data analysis showed that attachment styles to God are related to the mediating role of spiritual attitude with attitude and practical commitment to prayer, and spiritual attitude fits the secure attachment style to God as a complete mediator. The findings of this study emphasize the importance of the role of secure attachment style to God and strengthening spiritual attitude in promoting religious behaviors.
