Background and Objectives: A sense of belonging to school has been recognized as an important requirement for students to perform well in learning environments. The aim of this study was to develop a structural equation model for predicting a sense of belonging to school based on family cohesion with the mediating role of spiritual intelligence in secondary high school male students.
Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive study using structural equation modelling and the statistical population of the present study consisted of all male high school students studying in public schools of Ardabil city in the academic year 2020-2021. A total of 250 of these individuals were selected by available sampling method and answered online questionnaires of sense of belonging to school, spiritual intelligence, and family cohesion. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and structural equations modelling.
Results: The results showed that the sense of belonging to school was positively related to family cohesion (r=0.35, p<0.001) and spiritual intelligence (r=0.55, p<0.001). Also, spiritual intelligence had a positive relationship with family cohesion (r=37, p<0.001). Model fit indices also confirmed the path of family cohesion to the sense of belonging to school mediated by spiritual intelligence.
Conclusion: In general, the results showed that family cohesion directly and indirectly and mediated by spiritual intelligence, plays a role in the sense of belonging to school. In line with the results, holding educational workshops based on psychology to improve family relationships and teaching spiritual intelligence skills to parents and students will be a useful solution to increase family cohesion and thus a sense of belonging to school.
