The existence of a positive relationship between moral activities and mental health has been established in some studies; however, there are different types of moral-related variables as well as mental health-related ones. The present study is aimed at examining the probable relationship between them. A body of 212 university freshmen completed questionnaires about different mental health-related variables and moral-related ones. After controlling the effects of social desirability and lie/nonsense responses, the relationship between moral-related and mental health-related variables was investigated through partial correlation. The findings indicated that mental health-related variables differently related to moral-related ones. Among the moral-related variables anonymous pro-social behavior and overall pro-social moral reasoning related to more numbers of mental health-related variables. Also, among the mental health-related variables perfectionism and social support related to a greater number of moral-related variables. The findings were discussed in light of previous studies and the definitions of the variables
