Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between almsgiving and anxiety, depression and resilience in people between 16 and 60 years old living in Iran in 1400. From this statistical population, 254 people were identified by available random sampling method. After removing incomplete questionnaires, 249 questionnaires remained for statistical analysis.
Data were collected using the 28-item GHQ General Health Questionnaire, the 25-item Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale, and three questions about the percentage of monthly income that a person spends as almsgiving, the number of almsgiving times in the last month, and the continuity of almsgiving in past year. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis. The results of simple correlation analysis showed the relationship between the number of almsgiving times in the recent month with depression and resilience and also the continuity of almsgiving with anxiety, depression and resilience. Enter regression analysis also showed that depression can be predicted based on the continuity degree of almsgiving in the past year.
