Abstract: (21 Views)
Background: Self-harm is a common problem among teenagers worldwide and can be affected by different factors. This research aims to investigate the connection between the psychological well-being and religious convictions of individuals who self-injure, while also looking at how life goals may play a role as a moderating factor.
Methods: The research employed a descriptive-correlational approach with a cross-sectional design and utilized structural equation modeling (SEM). The study targeted all teenage boys and girls in Tehran who had participated in self-harm behaviors between July and October 2023. A purposive sample of 196 adolescents with a history of self-harm was selected for the study. Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scales (PWB), the Religious Attitude Questionnaire (RAQ), and the Purpose-In-Life Questionnaire (PIL) were used as research tools. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 27 and SmartPLS version 4.
Results: According to the results of the current research, Self-acceptance component had a significant and positive impact on Religious attitudes (β=0.397, P=0.021). However, the Positive relationship with others component had no significant influence on Religious attitudes (P=0.954). Self-acceptance and Personal growth, as well as the variable Purpose in life, had a positive and notable impact on religious attitudes (P<0.05). Conversely, Positive relationships with others, Autonomy, Objective life, and Mastery of the environment did not significantly influence religious attitudes (P>0.05). Furthermore, Purpose in life, acting as a moderating variable, positively and significantly affected the association between Positive relationships with others and Autonomy with Religious attitudes, thereby enhancing this relationship.
Conclusion: The study found that psychological well-being and purpose in life are related to religious attitudes in self-harming adolescents. Specifically, self-acceptance and personal growth are the only well-being components that increase religious attitudes. Other components like positive relationships, autonomy, mastery of the environment, and purposeful life do not affect religious attitudes.
