چکیده:
Objective: The current study aimed at investigating the role of patience and its components in
predicting self-control among high school students in Shiraz, Iran.
Methods: The statistical population of the study included all high school students of Shiraz.
Three hundred and thirty-two students (161 females and 171 males) were recruited via cluster
sampling method. The subjects participated in the study by completing the patience scale for
children and adolescents and self-control scale. To analyze the data, mean, standard deviation
(SD), and Pearson correlation coefficient were used. Moreover, to investigate the role of patience
and its components in predicting self-control, simultaneous multiple regression analysis was
utilized.
Results: The results showed that patience total score and the components of transcendence,
contentment, persistence, and hesitation positively and significantly correlated with self-control
(P < 0.01). Patience total score also positively and significantly predicted self-control (β = 0.58;
P < 0.001). This variable explained 33% of the variance. Moreover, transcendence (β = 0.18; P
< 0.001), hesitation (β = 0.27; P < 0.001), and persistence (β = 0.35; P < 0.001) positively and
significantly predicted self-control. These variables explained 36% of the variance.
Conclusion: According to the role of patience and its components in predicting self-control,
it is recommended to utilize educational strategies of patience to enhance self-control among
high school students. To emphasize the components of patience in teaching educational
strategies of patience is also suggested.

Patience is one of the psycho-religious variables that have an important role in promotion of mental health (Noori, 2008; Izadi-Tame, Borjali, Delavar, & Eskandari, 2008; Hossein- Sabet, 2008).
Patience and its components also correlated positively and significantly with hope and each of its 2 subscales, including pathway thinking, and agency think- ing (Khormaei, Zareie, Mahdiyar & Farmani, 2014).
Therefore, the current study aimed at investigating the role of patience in predicting self-control among high school students.
According to the correlation results, patience total score and components of hesitation, transcendence, persistence, and contentment showed significant positive correlations with self-control (P < 0.
