The sample included 354 university stu- dents (188 females and 166 males) studying at University of Zabol in the academic year 2014- 2015, selected through applying simple random sampling method. Data were analyzed in both de- scriptive (frequency distribution, frequency, and charts) and inferential levels (Pearson correla- tion coefficient and independent t-test). Results indicated that there was a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence. Moreover, resilience was significantly and positively correlated with emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence.

Summary
Resilience is one of the main issues raised in positive psychology. How to cite this paper: Keshtegar, M. and Jenaabadi, H. Rutter [5] asserted that resilience involved the interaction between risk factors and protective factors. Risk factors are defined as conditions or events that may lead to adverse outcomes. In this regard, poor socio-economic conditions, widespread social pathologies or parents’ divorce are commonly considered as risk factors. Protective factors, on the other hand, are defined as events or circumstances which keep an individual safe against traumas. Emotional intelligence is another issue that is raised in positive psychology. Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage one’s own and others’ emotions and apply these emotions to guide thinking and behavior
