Predicting Flourishing of Students based on Moral Intelligence, Wisdom, Critical Thinking According to the Mediating Role of Hope

The purpose of this research was to predict the flourishing of students based on moral intelligence, wisdom, and critical thinking with regard to the mediator role of hope. The descriptive-correlational research method was structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all the students of the Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery of Iran University of Medical Sciences in the academic year of 2020-2021, numbering 740 people, out of which 384 people were selected by the available sampling method. To collect data from Soleimani's flourishing questionnaire (FQ), moral intelligence (MIQ) Link and Keel (2007), wisdom (WQ) Webster (2003), critical thinking (CTQ) Fashion (1990) and hope (HQ) of Snyder and et al (2000) was used. In order to analyze the data, structural equation analysis was used. The results of the research showed that the direct effects of moral intelligence, wisdom, and critical thinking on flourishing were significant (p<0.001). On the other hand, moral intelligence, wisdom, and critical thinking were indirectly related to flourishing through hope (p<0.001). The goodness of fit indices also indicated the appropriate fit of the model. Based on the findings of this research, it can be concluded that moral intelligence, wisdom, and critical thinking with the mediation of hope can determine the prosperity model.
