Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 7
Abstract
The study was conducted to examine the role of gender and socioeconomic status in the development of spiritual intelligenceamong higher secondary to university students. Participants were 480 students selected in equal numbers from among boys and girls and low and high SES groups by quota sampling method. King‟s SSRI-24 was used to measure the four domains of SI. From adolescence to early adulthood, girls were found consistently better in Critical Existential Thinking and Conscious State Expansion; but in Personal Meaning Production and Transcendental Awareness difference in favor of girls appeared only in later age. Age wasalso found to have significant impact on the development of the domains of SI. SES was found to have good impact on the development of Personal Meaning Production and Transcendental Awareness. Significant interaction effects were also observed among these variables for the development of SI. The findings were important because spiritual intelligence, commonly considered to be an adult prerogative, was also found to develop during adolescent years and demographic variables were found to have significant impact on the development of SI.
