The present study focuses on the relationship between personality traits and the preparedness for drug addiction in the workers of an industrial company in the city of Mehran. 115 of the company’s workers were chosen for the study based on availability. They answered 4 questionnaires pertaining to personality traits, life satisfaction, spiritual intelligence and the Iranian (version of the) questionnaire of the preparedness for addiction. This study is correlational in nature and the data were analysed using the Pearson correlation coefficient and a multivariate regression analysis. The findings showed a positive relationship between neurosis and the preparedness for addiction. A negative relationship was found between other predictive variables and the preparedness for addiction. The highest correlation was related to neurosis, which was the study’s most important predictive variable. There was no significant relationship between openness and the preparedness for addiction. The linear multivariate regressive analysis for personality traits, life satisfaction and spiritual intelligence with the preparedness for addiction was significant at 0.05.

This research investigated the impact of spiritual intelligence training on psychological well-being dimensions, existential anxiety, and spiritual quotient (SQ). The study was a field experimental design with pretest-posttest and control group. The participants were 112 undergraduate male and female students of Ahvaz Faculty of Petroleum who were selected randomly and were divided randomly into experimental and control groups (48 experimental and 46 control cases) Instruments included King's Spiritual Intelligence Scale (SISRI-24), Ryff's Psychological Well-being Scales, with six dimensions, and Good’s Existential Anxiety Scale. After examining experimental and control groups via pretest, spiritual intelligence was taught to experimental group based on 7 steps of Bowell’s SQ-training package in 15 sessions (60 minutes each). Then posttest was taken from both groups. Multivariate and univariate analysis of variances revealed that spiritual intelligence training significantly increased the six dimensions of psychological well-being, including Self-Acceptance, Purpose in Life, Personal Growth, Environmental Mastery, Autonomy, and Positive Relationships, of the experimental group in comparison with the control group. Also, the training appeared to increase spiritual intelligence, and decrease existential anxiety of the experimental group significantly.
