Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between parental bonds, self-compassion, and attachment to God with psycho-spiritual conflicts. The method of the present study was descriptive, correlational. 255 people responded to questionnaires on self-compassion, parental bonds, attachment to God, and psycho-spiritual conflicts. Among attachment styles, anxious attachment style had the greatest contribution to predicting psycho-spiritual conflicts. Among the subscales of psycho-spiritual conflicts in the fundamental correlation, divine, meaning, and moral conflicts showed the greatest contribution. In the regression equation, the variables of self-compassion and excessive support did not show a significant regression coefficient. According to the findings of the study, among the study variables attachment to God style had the greatest role in explaining psycho-spiritual conflicts. The results of this study show that the attachment to God style plays a significant role in this relationship. The regression coefficient of the parental support variable was not significant, and it seems that the remaining variables, namely care and self-compassion, have an indirect effect on psycho-spiritual conflicts.
