This study used path analysis to examine the Goodness-of-fit of the mediating effect of coping responses on stress in promoting mental health among Iranian undergraduate students. Three hundred and twenty-six students took part in the study. A community survey was conducted and the students completed a set of measures that assessed stress level, Coping Responses and Mental Health. Findings from the study show that the fit indices for this model are excellent. The RMSEA was 0.06, and the GFI and AGFI were 0.92 and 0.93, respectively. Approach responses (r=--0.24) and avoidant responses (r=0.28) were shown to have direct effect on Mental Health. All paths were significant at p < 0.05. Correlational results demonstrated that inter- intra personal stress had significant inverse relationship with approach responses and positive relationship with avoidance responses. penerbit ukm 2010-05 Article PeerReviewed Mahboobeh Chinaveh, and Noriah Mohd Ishak, and Amla Mohd Salleh, (2010) A path analysis of promotion factors of mental health.
