Psychology is the study of the mind and behavior, including biological influences, social pressures, and environmental factors that affect how people think, act, and feel. The psychology of religion is a branch of psychology and religions that studies the psychological effects of religion on human life. Psychologists of religion are people who combine their other specializations in the humanities with religion or the way people depend on faith. Allport believes that religious feelings are neither purely rational nor completely irrational in nature. Rather, they are more a combination of feeling and logical thinking. In fact, religiosity offers a philosophy of life for the individual that is not only rational in nature but also emotionally and spiritually satisfying. Positive psychology, which is one of the emerging approaches in the school of psychology, unlike traditional psychology, has focused on positive human characteristics and capabilities, such as happiness, hope, optimism, well-being, and other aspects of human existence, instead of emphasizing diseases and injuries. Today, psychological approaches related to the field of religion have made this type of study and the effects and consequences of religiosity in ensuring healthy mental health of individuals more evident than ever before. The main task of the psychology of religion is the sociological and psychological definition of religious phenomena. In the view of religious teachings, the family is a sacred, blessed center that is praised and glorified by God. The personality of children develops from the very early age. There are various methods and tools for raising children, such as breast milk, food, and the personality of parents and those around them, etc. in psychological and educational sciences, especially in religious texts. The subject of religion is the voluntary and optional behaviors of humans, so behavioral training methods and controlling the behavior of individuals are also considered as topics of religion. Therefore, the field of (religion) also includes the upbringing and regulation, guidance and behavior of children and adolescents. Religion, through meaning-making, allows humans to feel a sense of mastery, value and understandability of life events. Health humanities researchers also believe that there are common principles in the religious orders of the world's major religions that protect the health of their followers. These common principles are rooted in the spirituality of religions.
