The present study aimed to model marriage orientation based on psychological capital and attitude toward premarital relationships with the mediation of the social desirability of unmarried students. The present research was a descriptive-correlation type of Path Analysis. The statistical population of the research included all single students of Islamic Azad Universities in Isfahan province in 2022; According to the number of research variables and conventional statistical methods, a sample of 500 people (303 girls and 197 boys) was used for the Gwanji Marriage Orientation Questionnaires (2019), Luthans Psychological Capital (2007), attitude towards relationships. Before marriage, Kardlow (2010) and social desirability were answered by Crown and Marlow (1964). The results indicated that the proposed model had a good fit. Psychological capital showed a significant positive relationship with marriage orientation (P < 0.001). Additionally, the direct effect of social desirability on marriage orientation was positive and significant (P < 0.001). The indirect effect of psychological capital on marriage orientation, mediated by social desirability, was also significant (P < 0.001). However, no significant direct or indirect effect was observed between attitudes toward premarital relationships and marriage orientation (P > 0.001). Based on the findings, it can be concluded that social desirability mediates the relationship between psychological capital and marriage orientation, while no such relationship exists between attitudes toward premarital relationships and marriage orientation.
