FOSTERING HAPPINESS: THE ROLE OF SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE IN STUDENTS' EMOTIONAL HEALTH

This paper has examined how spiritual intelligence (SI) can be used to enhance happiness and emotional wellbeing in students in Rajasthan, India. The survey was carried out on a sample of 120 students in major cities and measures of spiritual intelligence, happiness, and emotional well-being were completed. The findings indicated that there was a strong positive relationship between spiritual intelligence and happiness (r = 0.462) and emotional health (r = 0.548). The results of the multiple regression indicated that spiritual intelligence was a significant predictor of happiness (0.462, p = 0.003) and emotional health (0.548, p = 0.002). These results indicate that students who have a higher degree of spiritual intelligence indicate a higher level of life satisfaction and emotional strength. The paper indicates that incorporation of spiritual intelligence in the learning process can enhance the well being of students. This study will add to the existing literature on the significance of spiritual intelligence in promoting emotional and psychological wellbeing.
