This study aimed at investigating the relationship between psychological support and
religious values among the adolescents in the preparatory year at the Muslim University in
Al-Madīnah Al-Munawwarah. The study employed the descriptive analytical
method, and
the researcher developed the study instruments that consisted of two scales; the
psychological support scale, which consisted of (41) items distributed to four domains:
(emotional support, morale cognitive support, recognition and status support, as well as
social support); and the religious values scale which consisted of (53) items distributed to
three domains: (ideological values, worship values, as well as moral values). The validity
and reliability of study instruments were verified. The study sample consisted of (192)
preparatory-year students studying at the Muslim University in Al-Madīnah Al-
Munawwarah. The results showed that the level of psychological support, with its
domains, was of a high degree, with a mean that ranged between (3.75 - 4.06), and it was
ranked as follows; (cognitive morale support , recognition and status support, social
support, and emotional support). The mean of psychological support in total was (3.91) .
The level of religious values was also of a high degree, with a mean that ranged between
(3.64 - 4.44), in the following order (ideological values, worship values, and finally moral
values), and the mean of the religious values in total was (3.92). The results showed that
there is a statistically significant positive relationship between the psychological support
and the religious values.
