This study investigated relationship between religious orientation, perfectionism and self-efficacy with stress in university students. The study sample included 250 students (117 female and 133 male) in Shahid Beheshti University who were selected by using stratified sampling. To collect data, Religious Orientation Scale (ROS), The Multidimensional Perfectionism Cognitions Inventory (MCPI-E), New General Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (NGSE) and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) were used. Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis showed that religious orientation has significant and negative impact on stress, self-efficacy has significant and negative effect on stress and finally, subscales of perfectionism have significant and positive effect on stress.
