This research aimed to investigate the connection between the psychological well-being and religious convictions of individuals who self-injure, while also examining how life goals may serve as a moderating factor.&nbsp;<br> <strong>Methods</strong>: This descriptive-correlational research employed 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. The Ryff&rsquo;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 software, version 27 and SmartPLS software, version 4.<br> <strong>Results</strong>: Self-acceptance had a significant and positive impact on religious attitudes (&beta;=0.397, P=0.021). However, the positive relationship with other components had no significant influence on religious attitudes (P=0.954). Self-acceptance and personal growth, as well as a purposeful 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, purposeful 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.<br> <strong>Conclusion</strong>: Psychological well-being and purposeful 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 a purposeful life do not affect religious attitudes.&nbsp;<br> &nbsp;</div> Psychological well-being, Religious attitudes, Purpose in life, Self-harming adolescents 185 196 http://jrh.gmu.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-2427-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Zeinab Irani Zeinabira65@atu.ac.ir 123 0009-0002-0785-9005 No Department of Psychology, Faculty of Humanity, West Tehran Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran.
