Abstract
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.
