Objective: The aim of this study was to model the structural relationships between spiritual intelligence and addiction potential with mediating role of meta-cognitive beliefs and educational hardiness through in Azad University students of Tehran. Method: A descriptive-correlational research method with a causal nature was used in this study. The statistical population of this study consisted of all students of Azad University of Tehran in the academic year of 2016-17. From among this population, 361 students were chosen via random cluster sampling method and responded to Zargar's Addiction Potential Scale, Halton & Wells's Metacognition Questionnaire, King's Spiritual Intelligence Self-Report Inventory, and Benishek & Lopez's Academic Hardiness Scale. Results: Using structural equation modeling and path analysis, spiritual intelligence, with mediating roles of metacognitive beliefs and educational hardiness could explain 10% of addiction potential among students of Azad University of Tehran. Additionally, spiritual intelligence had a direct effect on addiction potential. Conclusion: Considering the predictive power of the mentioned variables, one can use the findings of this study for developing addiction prevention programs and formulating educational interventions in addiction withdrawal clinics.
