Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate the simple and multiple relationships between student stressors, religious attitudes and academic performance. The sample consisted of 511 (male and female) students who were selected randomly from the different deparements of Mohaghegh Ardabili University, iran. The instruments used in this research consisted of Student Stressors Questionniare and Religious Attitude Inventory. The results showed that there was a negative relationship between student stressors and academic performance among the students with high (r=-.33), average (r=-.31) and low (r—-.59) religious attitudes. Also, the results of multiple regression showed that multiple correlation coefficients of the student stressors (predictive variables) with academic performance (criterion variable) among the students with high (MR=.336), average (MR=.334) and low (MR = .661) religious attitudes were more than simple correlations. Multiple correlation coefficients of the student stressors with academic performance among the female (MR=.535) and male (MR=.436) students were larger than simple correlations.
