Background: This research aimed to study the relation of the attitude dimensions to prayer with life satisfaction and meaning in life in female students of Qayen high school.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-analytical study, 285 female students were selected as sample using multi-stage cluster sampling method. The measurements were Nademi's questionnaire of attitude to prayer, Huebner's life satisfaction questionnaire, and Steger's questionnaire of meaning in life. Using pearson correlation coefficient and the regression test, the data were analyzed by the SPSS software.
Results: The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between attitude dimensions to prayer (value, behavioral outcome, and motivation) with life satisfaction. There is also a positive and significant relationship between two attitude dimensions to prayer (value, and behavioral outcome) with meaning in life but there is no relationship between the dimensions of motivation with meaning in life. The results of the regression analysis showed that among the attitude dimensions to prayer, 16% of the variance of life satisfaction is explained by the dimension of value and 5% of the variance of the meaning in life is explained by dimension of behavioral outcome.
Conclusion: According to the study findings that confirm the relationship between attitude dimensions to prayer with life satisfaction and meaning in life, reviving the prayer and practicing can promote the life satisfaction and meaning in life.
