Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the structural pattern of health-oriented and high-risk behaviors based on psychological capital and hardiness in students of Tehran universities due to the mediating role of time horizon.
Method: This study is a descriptive - correlational study. For this purpose, 350 students of Tehran's national and Azad universities were selected using random sampling and answered the questionnaires provided to them. Data analysis was performed using the structural equation modeling method. Spss-25 and Lisrel 8.85 statistical software were used to analyze the research data.
Results: Evaluation of the conceptual model of the research using fit indicators showed that the conceptual model is compatible with the measurement model (CFI = 0.94, NFI = 0.90, and RMSEA = 0.073). The research findings showed that the hardiness and psychological capital have a significant effect on both health-oriented and high-risk behaviors both directly and indirectly through the time horizon. Also, the time horizon has a significant direct effect on healthy and high-risk behaviors.
Conclusion: According to the obtained results and the appropriate fit of the hypothetical structural model, psychological capital, hardiness, and time horizon can be considered as the main factors affecting health-oriented behaviors and high-risk behaviors. It is better to use these factors in the design of prevention programs and interventions in the field of health.
