摘要：Purpose The mediating role of commitment and exploration between purpose of life and maladaptive indices is intended. Method A number of 585 high school and university students (M=18.8) were chosen using multistage cluster sampling and stratified random sampling respectively. The path analysis was used for studying the relationship between variables. Results The findings of the study indicated that, all direct effects of purpose in life on the variables were significant (p<0.001) except on the exploration dimension. Also all the indirect effects of purpose in life on anxiety and depression were significant concerning the mediating variables of commitment. Conclusion The most indices of the model were desirable and the fitness of model was proved.
