The aim of the present study was to determine the mediating role of critical thinking in the relationship between spirituality and mental health. The research design was correlation of path analysis type. First, the correlation between the variables was investigated and then the path analysis test was conducted to investigate the mediating role. 205 master's students of Valiasr University Complex participated in this accessible research in the academic year 2018-2019. Critical thinking skills tests of California form (B), spirituality questionnaire and general health questionnaire were used. Correlation between the result of mental health questionnaire with critical thinking (r= -0.158 and P<0.05) and self-awareness subscales (r= -0.510 and P<0.001), the importance of spiritual beliefs in life ( r= -0.419 and P<0.001), spiritual activities (r= -0.498 and P<0.001) and spiritual needs (r= -0.260 and P<0.001) from spirituality showed a significant relationship. In the results of path analysis, the mediating role of critical thinking in the relationship between spirituality and mental health was confirmed. The difference between the sub-scales of spirituality shows that among the types of spirituality, cases in which the two sub-scales of self-awareness and the importance of spiritual beliefs in life play a greater role with thinking and specifically critical thinking can be effective on mental health, which shows It is the difference between different spiritualities in mental health.

Achieving spiritual health is one of the important issues that have occupied the minds of psychologists and spiritual people for years. The aim of the present study was to examine the multivariate relationship between the components of family flexibility and cohesion, self-evaluation cores (self-respect, generalized self-efficacy, self-control, neuroticism) and positive dimensions (spiritual improvement) of spiritual health. 210 women living in the city of Qom responded to the questionnaires of this research online through available sampling. To measure the research variables, family flexibility scale (Olson, Goral, Teazel, 2006), self-evaluation cores (Judge, Luck and Durham, 1997), spiritual well-being (Palotzin and Ellison, 1982) were used. The research findings were analyzed using multivariate regression analysis and structural equation model. The results showed that there is a significant correlation between the research variables. Also, family variables (flexibility and cohesion) can explain the variance of the positive dimensions of spiritual health. Another important finding of the current research was the mediating power of self-evaluation cores in explaining the relationship between flexibility and family cohesion and the index of spiritual health. Considering the findings of this research, it is suggested to pay attention to family indicators and self-evaluation cores in achieving spiritual health.

Modesty is one of the personality and moral characteristics that affects the individual and social life of a person. The main purpose of this research is to create and standardization the questionnaire of modesty. The method of the current research is correlational; The statistical population of this research was all undergraduate and graduate students, and finally, 400 participants were included in the present study using available sampling method. In order to collect data, a 37-question questionnaire the researcher made Modesty was used. According to experts, the validity of this questionnaire was obtained based on Content Validity Index (CVI) and Content Validity Ratio (CVR) of 0.80 and 0.65, respectively. Also, Principal Axis Factoring (PAF) with varimax rotation, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), Cronbach's alpha coefficient were used to check the psychometric properties of the questions; The results showed that the 37-question questionnaire developed to measure modesty has 7 factors, which explains 58.304% of the total variance of the modesty structure. Each of the following 7 factors in the order of self-control (10/739), self-esteem (11/126), moral ideology (7/892), behavior according to social customs and norms (4/687), sexual chastity (334/334) 9), chastity in speech (5.499), and chastity in look (9.028) explains a significant amount of the total variance. Also, the internal stability of modesty components based on Cronbach's alpha and Macdonald's omega indices was higher than 0.7, which indicates the acceptable homogeneity of the components of the desired structure. Also, Cronbach's alpha coefficient for each of the sub-components, respectively, self-control (0.845), self-esteem (0.892), moral ideology (0.909), behavior in accordance with customs and social norms (0.809) ), sexual chastity (0.961), speech in chastity (0.718), and chastity in look (0.925) were obtained; Therefore, the built scale provides the ability to measure modesty and can be used in the measurements of personality and social issues.
