Abstract

The purpose of this research was to predict students' rotational religious orientation based on family communication patterns, with narcissism serving as a mediator. The statistical population consisted of students from Farhangian University in Tehran in 2022. The study employed a descriptive correlational method using a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach. A sample of 388 students was selected through quota sampling, and participants completed the Circumplex Religious Orientation Inventory (CROI), along with measures of family communication patterns and narcissism. SEM was used to analyze the data. Results indicated that narcissism negatively influenced the dialogue and listening patterns in family communication, impacting non-committed-non-reflective and non-committed-reflective religious orientations. In contrast, narcissism positively influenced committed-reflective and committed-non-reflective religious orientations. Overall, family communication patterns and narcissism accounted for 20%, 9%, 14%, and 20% of the variance in committed-reflective, committed-non-reflective, non-committed-reflective, and non-committed-non-reflective religious orientations, respectively. In conclusion, family interactions significantly contribute to shaping children's religious orientation and have a notable impact on their personality development.
