Relationship between Spiritual Attachment and Mental Health (Case Study: Faculty of Management of Tehran University)

The purpose of this study is to measure relationship between spiritual attachment and mental health among the students at Tehran University's College of Management.
The sample of this study is 412 students of the Faculty of Management of Tehran University that were selected by cluster sampling method. 237 of them are women and 175 are men. To fulfill the research goals, a questionnaire was used. Reliability through Cronbach's alpha for anxiety and avoidance attachment styles are 0.69 and 0.73 respectively that is in good condition.
The results of the analysis of the research hypothesis show that the correlation coefficient between attachment variable to God and mental health (r =- 0.166) was obtained that shows a negative correlation between these two variables. It can be said that there is an inverse relationship between these two variables. That is, by increasing the attachment to God we are seeing a decrease in mental health (physical symptoms, anxiety and insomnia, social disorientation and depression). It was determined in other hypotheses that the correlation between attachment to God and mental health components (physical symptoms, anxiety and insomnia, social disorientation and depression) among the female students in all relationships is meaningful and inverse that which indicates that decrease in the variable of attachment to God is accompanied with the increase in health components (physical symptoms, anxiety and insomnia, social disorientation and depression). But this relationship was not meaningful among boy students.
