Abstract
Purpose: This research was conducted with the purpose of
mediating the role of self-efficacy in the relationship between
psychological flexibility and wisdom in students.
Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional research method
is correlational. The statistical population of this research was
made up of all female and male students of Azad Universities
of Tehran province in 2019-2019, from which 400 people were
selected by staged cluster sampling method. In this research,
the tools of wisdom (Ardelt, 2003), flexibility (Bond et al.,
2011), and self-efficacy (Sherer et al., 1982) were used, all of
which had acceptable validity and reliability. In order to
analyze the data, SPSS-V19 and Amos-V8.8 software were
used. Also, in order to respond to the research hypotheses,
structural equation modeling was used.
Findings: The research findings showed that the model has a
good fit. The results showed that flexibility did not have a
significant direct effect on wisdom, the relationship between
flexibility and wisdom is directly equal (t = 1.78 and β = 0.12).
In connection with the existence of the indirect effect of
flexibility on the wisdom of students through self-efficacy, it
is confirmed with 95% confidence.
Conclusion: Therefore, paying attention to the mentioned
variables helps researchers and therapists in prevention and
designing more appropriate treatments.
