Abstract

The study of positive psychological variables such as wisdom and self-transcendence have recently been the focus of psychology research. The purpose of the present study is to examine the structural relationships between the components of wisdom and self-transcendence in the form of a latent model. To this end, Levonson's self-transcendence questionnaire (2005) and wisdom self-assessment scale (Webster, 2007) were used to conduct the research. The statistical population of the current research included the citizens of the city of Shiraz over 18 years old, of whom 338 people were selected by random multi-stage method. After analyzing the data, the results indicated a correlation between the components of wisdom and self-transcendence and the analysis of the structural model using Amos software suggested that Wisdom is a positive and significant predictor of self-transcendence (p=0.001, β=0.78), predicting 61% (R=0.61) of the changes in its transcendence. According to the results of this study, since self-transcendence is predictable through wisdom, it is recommended to cultivate wisdom by holding educational workshops in various organizations and institutions, so that by making the people of the society wiser, their growth and transcendence will be furnished.
