Therefore the 495 students (246 women, 249 man) completed the religiosity, mental health, life satisfaction and demographic questionnaires. Data were analyzed by path analysis with LISREL package. The results indicated that direct effect of religiosity on mental health components and life satisfaction was significant. Also the direct effect of anxiety, depression, and social function on life satisfaction was significant and the direct effect of SES on indogenous variables (mental health component and life satisfaction) except anxiety was not significant, also the relationship between somatic symptoms with life satisfaction and religiosity with somatic symptoms was not significant.
