Spiritual Intelligence, Resilience and Life Satisfaction in young adults: A Descriptive Study

Abstract

Spiritual Intelligence is another form of intelligence that is multidimensional in nature. It impacts several crucial aspects of human well-being. The present study is intended to examine the relationship between spiritual intelligence, resilience and life satisfaction in young adults. A descriptive study was conducted on 100 adults selected randomly who fall in the age range of 18 to 25 years. The tools used were Spiritual Intelligence Scale Self Report Inventory (SISRI; King, 2008), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS; Diener.et al., 1985), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 10 (CD-RISC-10; Connor & Davidson, 2003). The data was analysed using SPSS software and statistical measures like mean, standard deviation, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and linear regression were interpreted. The findings of the study have shown that there exists a significant positive relationship between spiritual intelligence, resilience and life satisfaction in young adults. The research paper has also highlighted limitations, implications and suggestions for future studies to be undertaken in the similar domain.
