A Study on Impact of Spiritual Intelligence on Resilience Among Youth According to Family Structure

Abstract

The resilience that helps young people survive in modern life, when all seems to be against them, is a very critical attribute. This study looks at the relationship between spiritual intelligence and resilience among youth, particularly considering the moderating effects of nuclear and joint family structures. Spiritual intelligence-the ability to find meaning, purpose, and a sense of connection-is studied as an important factor determining resilience. The research investigates variations in spiritual intelligence and resilience levels among youth based on their family environment, aiming to understand how family dynamics shape these attributes. Using a mixed-methods approach and quota sampling method, data was collected through structured surveys with youth from nuclear and joint families. Statistical analysis was performed descriptive, Mean, SD to evaluate the relation between spiritual intelligence and resilience and to identify differences attributed to family structure. The findings reveal that spiritual intelligence significantly enhances resilience, with distinct patterns observed based on family type.
