Structural equations of individualized faith perception on intelligence variables

Today, religious behaviors are considered a combination of personal-social processes and identify different views and stages of religion.According to Fowler, faith is pervasive in all human beings. The purpose of the current research was to examine the proposed model of the precedents and antecedents of the Perception of Individualized Faith (PIF) basedon intelligent constructs. The research design was inferential with structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all students of Islamic Azad University, Jundishapur Medical Sciences, Shahid Chamran and seminary students. Here, ۵۰۵ were selected using available sampling method. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results of SEM showed that the proposed model was fitted. Also, the results of the direct paths showed that all the direct paths of the proposed model were significant. Based on the results, one can conclude that the perception of individualized faith, as an antecedent of intelligent construct can end up to psychological well-being (purposiveness in life).
