Background and Aim: Psychological security originates from various factors such as action flexibility, social adequacy, emotional maturity, and spiritual vitality. The present study aimed to model the structural equations of psychological security based on action flexibility, social adequacy, and emotional maturity, considering the mediating role of spiritual vitality among students.
Methods: The research method used in this study was correlation analysis based on structural equation modeling. The statistical population consisted of undergraduate students at Karaj Azad University during the academic year 2022-2023, with 620 individuals selected as a sample using a multi-stage cluster sampling method. Data were collected using Maslow's (2004) Psychological Security Questionnaire, Connor and Davidson's (2003) Action Flexibility, Fellner et al.'s (1990) Social Adequacy, Singh and Bhargava's (1990) Emotional Maturity, and the Spiritual Vitality developed by Chirian and Afroz (2015). Data analysis was conducted at a significance level of 0.05 using structural equation modeling in SPSS-25 and Amos-24 software.
Results: The results showed direct effects between action flexibility (P=0.001), social adequacy (P=0.007), and emotional maturity (P=0.001) on spiritual vitality. Also, a significant relationship was observed between action flexibility (P=0.001), social adequacy (P=0.007), emotional maturity (P=0.001), and spiritual vitality (P=0.0001) on psychological safety. In addition, spiritual vitality mediated the relationship between action flexibility, social adequacy, and emotional maturity with psychological security. The goodness-of-fit indices indicated the appropriate fit of the model.
Conclusion: The results of this study show that strengthening action flexibility, social adequacy, and emotional maturity by increasing spiritual vitality can be considered an effective solution to improve students' mental health and pave the way for enhancing their psychological security. |
