The research method is descriptive correlational. The sample group in this study consists of 377 female and male under graduate students in Azad University, South Tehran Branch, selected with the multistage cluster sampling method. All the participants were examined with four tests: the tension factors scale (DASS 21), psycho-spiritual development, and researcher-made tests of self-image and God-image. The findings indicated that there is negative, inverse relationship between the psycho-spiritual development level variable and depression, anxiety, stress and God-image, and there is also significant positive, direct relationship between the God-image variable and depression. God-image has an important contribution to anticipating depression, anxiety and stress. With high probability, it can be concluded that in the level of psychological evolution, the lower Psycho-spiritual development forms negative and ineffective, and the place of hope and activity creates fear and despair in the person, which provides the ground for depression, anxiety and tension.
