The present study aims at designing, constructing and validating the scale of committing to hijab based on the teachings of the Holy Quran and hadiths of the Prophet’s Household. To do so, first we classified and conceptualized the related verses and hadiths. After the steps of making assessments, a ten-item questionnaire was handed out among 385 female high school students selected through random cluster sampling. The findings showed that the scale has two factors of “attitude towards hijab” and “committing to hijab” with a desirable internal consistency (Cronbach’salph = 0.812). The reliability of the questionnaire was obtained through split-half method using Spearman-Brown (0.781) and Guttmann (0.780). The mean of the experts’ agreement in assessing the validity of the questionnaire (0.095) showed that it enjoys a proper level of validity.

The present research aims at presenting an outlook of the Islamic psychology based on the Quranic foundations compared with the major psychological approaches. To do so, we referred to Islamic sources, especially the Quran. The foundations of Islamic psychology were extracted in the spheres of ontology, anthropology, epistemology, theology, values, and methodology. Then, those foundations were compared to the existing psychological foundations and were analyzed through a descriptive-analytical method. The findings showed that the Islamic psychology is fundamentally different from the existing psychology in six basic aspects: (a) subject, (b) factors and processes of psychological change, (c) scope, (d) goal, (e) issues, and (f) the investigation method.

The present study is a descriptive study of correlation type that aims at offering and testing a structural model for explaining neurosis based on greed and Envy, with an emphasis on the intermediary role of initial maladaptive schemas. The research sample composed of 384 students in Khomein University, selected through multi-stage random sampling. We used the questionnaires of five personality factors, the initial maladaptive schemas, the Islamic scales for greed-contentment and Envy to gather data, and analyzed them using the statistical method of path analysis. The fit indices showed that the initial suggested model enjoyed a desirable level of fitness. Similarly, the intermediary role of initial maladaptive schemas between all exogenous variables and neurosis was confirmed. All the direct effects except the effect of greed on neurosis were statistically meaningful. The findings of the research shows that in the research sample, there are some psychological features such as greed and Envy which are deeper than the schemas, and it is necessary for clinical psychologists and other practitioners in the field of mental health to pay attention to them.

The present research aims at identifying the relationship and the model of causal relation between God-awareness and self-control with intermediating role of self-awareness and self-respect among men and women. The research method is descriptive and of correlation type. The path analysis method was used to analyze the data of four scales of God-awareness, self-control, consistent self-knowledge, and self-respect. The scales were tested on 322 university students in Jame’a al-Zahra and Jame’a al-Mustafa, selected through cluster sampling method. The findings show a meaningful positive relationship between God awareness and self-control with the intermediating role of self-awareness and self-respect. Thus, the effect of self-awareness and mentioning God in self-control is explainable through the processes of self-awareness and self-respect.

This study aims to investigate the mediating role of self-control in relationship between attachment to God and family functioning. To achieve the above objective, in a descriptive study, 461 married individuals living in the residential complexes in Pardisan, Qom, were selected by using a combination of simple random and convenience sampling method. The data were collected through questionnaires attachment to God, short form of self-control scale, and Family Assessment Device (FAD); and data through Pearson correlation and the Method of the Path Analysis (in Amos Software) were analyzed. According to the research hypothesis, results confirmed the mediating role (partial mediation) of self-control in the relationship between quality of attachment to God and family functioning. The results also showed that the secure attachment to God and self-control has significant negative relationship with family dysfunction (repectively.45 and .46), and the secure attachment to God and self-control have a significant positive relationship (.34). The results of this study can be used for designing educational packages to improve the family functioning through the quality of attachment to God and self-governing.

The data gathered were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation test and multiple regression test. The findings showed that the collective religious behavior, practical behavior and the religious behavior have positive relationships with self-efficacy. Besides, 8.1% of variance of self-efficacy was predicted by collective religious behavior and religious behavior. Similarly, religious beliefs, personal religious behavior and collective religious behavior as well as practical behavior have positive relistionships with life expectancy, and 16.9% of the variance of life expectancy is predicted by practical behavior, personal religious behavior and collective religious behavior. It is advisable that colnsultants and practitioners or the institutes related to women’s affairs deal with reinforcing religious beliefs in women so that their life expectancy and self-efficacy would not fall down to a defective level in difficult situations such as divorce.
