摘要

This cross-sectional inquiry examines the relationships between religiosity, depression, and suicide risk in Iranian seminary male and female students (N = 252). Utilizing established measures, significant negative correlations emerged among religiosity, suicide, and depression. Women exhibited elevated levels of depression and suicide risk, alongside lower religiosity scores. Total religiosity emerged as a significant predictor of suicide risk independent of depression and gender. Additionally, lower scores in religious behaviors and beliefs corresponded to heightened suicide risk, while dimensions of belonging and bonding displayed no significant associations. Heightened levels of depressive symptoms such as sadness, appetite, slowed movement, sleep changes, poor concentration, and fatigue were linked to higher risk of suicide. The aspects of religiosity related to dimensions of behaving and believing retained their predictive power for suicide risk, underscoring their unique contributions when gender was controlled. This investigation sheds light on how religiosity, depression, suicide risk, and gender interact among Iranian Muslim seminary students. The findings necessitate the consideration of gender disparities and the multidimensional nature of religiosity when addressing mental health and suicide risk.
