The purpose of this study was to explore the role of the spiritual modeling self-efficacy, perception of Parent's religiousness and personality traits in predicting student's religiousness. The research was descriptive and correlational. The population consisted of all bachelor students of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz. Through randomized multistage sampling, 200 students were selected as the sample. Data gathering was done by Azarbayjani Religiousness questionnaire (2003), Oman & et al Spiritual Modeling Self-efficacy Scale (2012) and Ashton and Lee HEXACO Personality Scale (2009). The data was analyzed via step by step multiple regression. In general, results showed that religiousness is predicted by spiritual modeling self-efficacy, perception of Parent's religiousness and personality traits (honesty-humility and Conscientiousness) (P < 0.01). By nurturing recommended personality traits and by strengthening spiritual modeling self-efficacy, religious parents pave the way for their children’s religiosity.
