The communication model of religious orientation, moral intelligence, responsibility, empathy, altruism and interpersonal forgiveness of virtual students in military-occupied areas of Tehran.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the communication model of religious orientation, moral intelligence, responsibility, empathy, altruism, and interpersonal forgiveness of distance education students in the military-occupied areas of Tehran.

The statistical population of the research was formed by students of distance education (virtual education) in military neighborhoods of Tehran in the academic year of 1400, and the age range of the subjects is from 15 to 17. Research sample: 264 students were selected by random sampling method and responded to the research tool. The research tools included questionnaires of religious orientation, moral intelligence, responsibility, empathy, altruism and forgiveness. After collecting the data, they were analyzed with Pearson correlation and path analysis and with SPSS25 and AMOS24 software.

The findings showed the direct effect of internal religion (β=0.31), moral intelligence (β=0.23), altruism (β=0.11) and empathy (β=0.14) on forgiveness. (P < 0.01), but this external religious orientation and responsibility did not have a direct effect on forgiveness. (P<0.05). Also, the mediating role of empathy, responsibility and altruism in the relationship between religious orientation component and moral intelligence on forgiveness is significant (P<0.01).

The current research model based on investigating the role of empathy, responsibility and altruism in the relationship between the component of religious orientation and moral intelligence on forgiveness has a good fit, and religious orientation and moral intelligence have direct and indirect effects on forgiveness
