Abstract :

The purpose of this paper is taken from a research project, check the dimensions hijab and chastity (knowledge, belief and practical commitment)And design of the structural equation model among female students in the Hamedan Province. Survey methods and techniques used in data collection That data from a random sample of 1069 students Using multistage cluster sampling and stratified random sampling is to collect. The main result of this study is that bilateral relations hijab and chastity is a positive and significant relation, ie on both affected and are affected. But the hijab of chastity model (.76) more chastity effect on the hijab (.61) and the fitted parameters are stronger and better. Based on structural equation analysis of the latent variable representing chastity, was believed And thereafter, respectively, are practical commitment and knowledge. The latent variable representing the hijab in order of importance of practical commitment, belief and knowledge.
