Therefore, this present study aimed to investigate the moderating role of religious well-being and self-differentiation in the relationship between boredom and addiction tendency. Materials and Methods: The research design was correlational. The statistical population was high school male students in Nourabad at the academic year 1397-1398 that a total of 360 students were selected by cluster sampling. Data were collected using multi-dimensional religious well-being inventory, multidimensional scale of boredom, differentiation of self-inventory-revised, and addiction proneness scale. Then, collected data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and hierarchical linear regression. Results: The results showed a positive and significant relationship between boredom and addiction tendency (r=0.44, P<0.01), a negative and significant relationship between religious well-being and addiction tendency (r=-0.29, P<0.01) and between self-differentiation and addiction tendency (r=-0.38, P<0.01). Also, based on hierarchical regression’ results the moderating role of religious well-being (β=0.16, P<0.01) and self-differentiation (β=0.25, P<0.01) in the relationship between boredom and addiction tendency was confirmed. Conclusion: The present provided evidence for the moderating role of religious well-being and self-differentiation in the relationship between boredom and addiction proneness. Therefore, developing religious well-being and training self-differentiation among adolescents could be a good way to protect them in the face of boredom and addiction tendency.
