This study was conducted with the aim of explaining the structural relationship between religiosity and political participation, with the mediating role of philosophical mentality, among student-teachers at Farhangian University in East Azerbaijan Province. The present research is applied in nature and employed a descriptive-correlational method with a structural equation modeling approach. The statistical population included all undergraduate student-teachers in the 2024–2025 academic year, and through stratified random sampling, 290 individuals were selected as the sample. Data collection instruments consisted of three standardized questionnaires on religiosity, philosophical mentality, and political participation, all scored on a five-point Likert scale. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS and AMOS software. The results indicated that religiosity has a moderate to relatively strong effect on philosophical mentality and political participation. Moreover, the combination of religiosity and philosophical thinking leads to the formation of more multidimensional attitudes toward life and society, and strong religious beliefs reinforce values such as justice and social responsibility, thereby increasing the motivation for political participation. The findings suggest that enhancing religiosity and philosophical mentality can play an effective role in improving political hope and vitality, national cohesion, meritocracy, and sustainable development, and can be beneficial for educational policy-making at Farhangian University.
