Social trust is considered as one of the key elements in achieving sustainable and comprehensive development in societies. Several factors can be involved in the realization of this concept. The aim of this study was to determine the moderating role of gender in the relationship between religiosity and social trust in students.

This is a descriptive-correlational study. Participants included students of Payame Noor University of Semnan Province, out of whom 384 (200 females and 184 males) were selected using relative stratified random sampling. Data were collected using the Religiosity Measure Questionnaire (Glock & Stark) and Social Trust Questionnaire (Alizadeh Aghdam and Mohammadi). Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis test were used to analyze the data. In the present study, all the ethical considerations were observed and the authors reported no conflict of interests.

The mean (and SD) scores related to students' religiosity and social trust were 199.61 (±12.12) and 119.39 (±10.71), respectively. According to Pearson correlation coefficient, the relationship between the total score of religiosity and its dimensions with social trust in students was statistically positive and significant (P<0.001 & R=0.597). The average dimensions of religiosity and social trust in female students were significantly higher than those of male students. The results showed that religiosity and each of its dimensions including rituals, beliefs, emotions and consequences among students positively and significantly predicted social trust. The moderating role of gender in the relationship between religiosity and social trust in participants was also confirmed; this means that the effect of religiosity on students' social trust was different in the two groups of girls and boys.

According to the research findings, social trust in students is most affected by the ritual component of the variable religiosity. These findings confirm the implications of functionalist theories about the positive effect of religiosity on social health.

Religion is an integral part of society. Everybody has orders that are interpreted and analyzed according to different levels and categories of society. The society is in harmony with religion and seeks most of its needs from religious teachings. In this respect, sociology behaves in harmony with religion, that is, it does not consider sociological theories to be separate from religion. On the other hand, in the history of Iran (and most lands), we have a phenomenon called "mysticism". Although at first glance, it may seem that mysticism or Sufism has gone against the wishes of society and has anarchist theories; But by analyzing all mystical views in all categories of history, we can refute this claim and say that: mysticism (Sufism), religion and sociology have moved in the same direction.The findings of the present study, which was done by descriptive-analytical method using the tool of "content analysis", show that mystics such as Sanai Ghaznavi, Attar Neyshabouri, Rumi and their like-minded people have mystical theories that They can be studied under sociology.

The structure of some families provides conditions for violence against women. Violence threatens the health and security of the family. The purpose of this study was to predict marital forgiveness based on emotional regulation, attachment to God, and religion-based coping strategies in women with experience of family violence.

This is a descriptive and correlational study. The statistical population included all women referring to counseling and psychotherapy centers in Tehran in 2018. A total of 300 people were selected by simple random sampling. The research instruments included marital forgiveness scale, cognitive-emotional adjustment scale, attachment to God's scale, and religious coping scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation coefficient and regression analysis. In this study, all the ethical considerations have been observed and no conflict of interest was reported by the authors.

The results of the present study showed that emotional adjustment variables (P<0.05, r=0.61), attachment to God (P<0.05, r=0.48), and religion-based coping strategies (P<0.05, r=0.52) have a significant correlation with marital forgiveness in women experiencing domestic violence and can significantly predict 41.8 percent of the variance in marital forgiveness in these women (P<0.05).

Based on the results, it can be concluded that religion-based coping strategy, safe attachment to God, and adjustment of excitement affect the level of marital forgiveness. Therefore, in the plans developed by the authorities, there is a need to familiarize women experiencing domestic violence with Islamic-spiritual structures and emotional management.
