| Summary: | The purpose of this study is to determine if the model proposed to explain the effect of coping responses in
stress that could promote mental health, fit the population of the Iranian university students. This study
used path analysis to examine the Goodness-of-fit of the mediating effect of coping responses on stress in
promoting mental health among Iranian undergraduate students. Three hundred and twenty-six students
took part in the study. A community survey was conducted and the students completed a set of measures
that assessed stress level, Coping Responses and Mental Health. Findings from the study show that the fit
indices for this model are excellent. The RMSEA was 0.06, and the GFI and AGFI were 0.92 and 0.93,
respectively. Approach responses (r=--0.24) and avoidant responses (r=0.28) were shown to have direct
effect on Mental Health. All paths were significant at p < 0.05. Correlational results demonstrated
that inter- intra personal stress had significant inverse relationship with approach responses and
positive relationship with avoidance responses. |
