Content analysis method was used for studying the sources, and stratified random sampling method was utilized for evaluating the reliability and validity of the test. A sample of 100 students at Imam Khomeini Institute of Education and Research and female seminary students of Qom in the academic year of 2016-2017 took part in the experiment. The structure of the variables for empathy obtained from the Islamic sources includes behavioral, emotional and cognitive components. According to the leading experts in religion and psychology and the multiple Likert scale, the validity of the structure was measured with the mean total of 3.8 and the variance of 0.047. The validity of the items was obtained with a mean of 3.6 and a variance of 0.022. The reliability of the test was obtained through the internal consistency of the questionnaire with Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.91. Split half cooefficient also showed a reliability of 0.87 and 0.81 for two halves. Therefore, this test has appropriate reliability and validity.

Abstract
This paper explains Islamic psychology as truth-centered knowledge with the capacity to examine the rules governing mental organizations, underlying processes, and manifestations of human behavior. The method of this library-based research, which is of a fundamental theoretical type, is rational analysis. For this purpose, after examining the ideas of psychologists and researchers in the psychology of philosophy about the lack of coherence and the decline of contemporary psychology, the causes were analyzed and the establishment of Islamic psychology was introduced as a necessary solution. Findings of the research show that after the formation of three schools of psychology, there hasn’t been a comprehensive school for the introduction of human psychology. In spite of the inclusion of correct propositions, the new approaches usually explain the behavioral and cognitive strategies or the biological foundations of psychology. Many of these theories have not had an appropriate theoretical basis, and some theoreticians have not paid much attention to it. With its special theoretical foundations, Islamic psychology can present a comprehensive school to explain all aspects of human behavior and examine the rules governing mental organizations, underlying processes and manifestations of human behavior.
Keywords: Islamic psychology, theoretical foundations, epistemic relativism.

Abstract
Identifying the causes of depression, which is one of the most common psychiatric disorders, can help prevent and treat it. From the point of view of Islam, material attachment and the kind of relationship with God are factors influencing depression. On the other hand, Western scholars have emphasized the role of ineffective attitudes as an effective factor in depression. The purpose of this study was to predict depression based on material belonging and attachment to God in comparison with ineffective attitudes. The research design was correlational, and statistical population included the students of Shiraz University 209 of whom were selected through convenience sampling. The research tools included Beck Depression Inventory, belonging, attachment to God and ineffective attitudes. The results showed that material attachment, ineffective attitudes and avoidant attachment style to God can predict depression in a positive and meaningful way. Material attachment was also identified as the strongest variable. The results indicate that Islam has many potentialities for defining the key variables in explaining depression.
Keywords: depression, material attachment, attachment to God, ineffective attitudes.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of religiosity, social acceptability and self-efficacy with high school students' stress. This study was a descriptive-analytical and correlational study. The statistical population of this study included high school students of Orumiyeh in the academic year of 2012-2013. 360 people were selected through multistage cluster sampling. They completed the questionnaires of religiosity, social acceptability, self-efficacy and stress. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multivariate regression. Findings show that religiosity (r = -36.6), social acceptability (r = -0.29) and self-efficacy (r = -41 / -0) have a significantly negative relationship with stress (p≤0.01). In a predictive model, self-efficacy, religiosity and social acceptability predicted 40.9% of stress variation. The share of self-efficacy was higher than the other variables. Regarding the findings, self-efficacy, religiosity and social acceptability were the most important predictors of stress. Therefore, it is recommended that therapists and counselors take the signs of the variables into consideration and devise appropriate programs to reduce students' stress.
Keywords: religiosity, social acceptability, self-efficacy, stress, high school students.
