Distressful events can either lead to post traumatic stress disorders or post traumatic growth depending on individual’s characteristics or the magnitude of environmental and social supports. The current study was conducted to investigate the relation between attachment to God, Perceived social support, and post traumatic growth in mothers of children with physical disabilities. To fulfill the stated goal 108 mothers of children with physical disabilities who had experienced at least one traumatic event were selected by means of accessible sampling procedure and the following measures were given to them to respond as honestly as they could: Attachment to God inventory, perceived social support, and post traumatic growth (PTG). Results showed that between a secure attachment to God and two subdomains of social support (i.e. family support, and support of special individuals) and feelings of short comings with post traumatic growth a significant relationship existed. Results indicated that a secure attachment of God and social supports were two important variables that effect post traumatic growth in people with changing individuals reactions and interpretation of daily incidences.

This research investigated the impact of spiritual intelligence training on psychological well-being dimensions, existential anxiety, and spiritual quotient (SQ). The study was a field experimental design with pretest-posttest and control group. The participants were 112 undergraduate male and female students of Ahvaz Faculty of Petroleum who were selected randomly and were divided randomly into experimental and control groups (48 experimental and 46 control cases) Instruments included King's Spiritual Intelligence Scale (SISRI-24), Ryff's Psychological Well-being Scales, with six dimensions, and Good’s Existential Anxiety Scale. After examining experimental and control groups via pretest, spiritual intelligence was taught to experimental group based on 7 steps of Bowell’s SQ-training package in 15 sessions (60 minutes each). Then posttest was taken from both groups. Multivariate and univariate analysis of variances revealed that spiritual intelligence training significantly increased the six dimensions of psychological well-being, including Self-Acceptance, Purpose in Life, Personal Growth, Environmental Mastery, Autonomy, and Positive Relationships, of the experimental group in comparison with the control group. Also, the training appeared to increase spiritual intelligence, and decrease existential anxiety of the experimental group significantly.

The aim of the current study was to investigate the relation among the concepts of God, psychoticism and somatization in college students of Medical Sciences Universities. To this end, 363 students from Tehran and Iran Medical Sciences Universities were selected by means of proportional stratified sampling. Religious Concept Survey (Gorsuch, 1968) and Psychoticism and Somatization Scales of Symptom CheckList90-Revised (Deragotis, et al., 1973) were administered to the payhcipants. Regression analysis was used to analyze the data. Results indicated that psychoticism and somatization of college students can be predicted from their concept of God. Moreover, data revealed that female students who had a positive concept of God were lower in psychoticism and somatization. However, male college students who perceive God as an eternal entity were less included to show psychotistic symptoms.
