The present research intends to find the role of spiritual attitudes and thinking styles in anticipating post-traumatic growth in disabled veterans. The applied research method is descriptive-correlational. Study samples include 362 disabled veterans of Iraq-Iran war (267 with 25-49% disability and 95 veterans with 50-70% disability) selected from various cities of Tehran province using stratified random sampling and evaluated using Jaeger et al spiritual attitude inventory (2012), Tedeschi and Calhoun’s post-traumatic growth inventory (2011), as well as the Sternberg-Wagner thinking styles inventory (1979). The results correlation analyses and multivariate regression (simultaneous regression) show a significant relation between spiritual attitudes and legislative thinking styles and post-traumatic growth in veterans; and spiritual attitudes (Beta=0.711) and legislative thinking styles (Beta=0.559) can significantly anticipate the post-traumatic growth (p< 0.01). Moreover, spiritual attitudes and thinking styles can explain 65% of changes in post-traumatic growth. Study results support that spirituality and spiritual attitudes as well as thinking style play a significant role in post-traumatic growth in disabled veterans. Therefore, it seems necessary to develop some educational or consultative plans for disabled veterans based on these findings.
