Abstract
Background and Aim: Stress is considered a major risk factor for mental health, and high levels of perceived stress can lead to a wide range of psychological disorders. This study aimed to determine the moderating role of self-control in the relationship between psychological capital, adherence to religious beliefs, with perceived stress.
Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted among undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students during the academic year 2021–2022, with a population of 4,100 students. A total of 300 students were selected through a multi-stage cluster sampling method. Participants completed the Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ), the Adherence to Religious Beliefs Scale (Golzari), the Tangji Self-Control Scale, and the Cohen Perceived Stress Scale. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and path analysis in SPSS-24 and AMOS-24 software.
Results: There were significant negative relationships between psychological capital and perceived stress, adherence to religious beliefs and perceived stress, and self-control and perceived stress (P<0.01). Additionally, the path coefficients between psychological capital and self-control, and between adherence to religious beliefs and self-control were positive and significant (P<0.01). Self-control also played a mediating role in the relationship between psychological capital and perceived stress, as well as in the relationship between adherence to religious beliefs and perceived stress. Moderation analysis revealed that self-control moderated the relationship between psychological capital, adherence to religious beliefs, and perceived stress.
Conclusion: Based on the findings, enhancing psychological capital, adherence to religious beliefs, and strengthening self-control in students can play a significant role in reducing stress and improving their mental health. Therefore, teaching self-control skills to students could be considered a practical approach to stress reduction.
