Education

In this technological age the students are today facing more challenges and opportunities. To reduce their stress and improve their well-being it is very important to develop their spiritual intelligence. Spiritual Intelligence has a significant influence on the quality of life and success for senior secondary school students. According to Stephen Covey (2004) Spiritual intelligence is the central and most fundamental of all the intelligences, because it becomes the sources of guidance for the others. The present study is intended to examine the adjustment problems of school students of Faridabad district of Haryana. Adjustment is a process by which a living organism maintains a balance between the needs and the circumstances. The students, who are spiritually intelligent, will have a better adjustment with themselves as well as with others. A descriptive correlational study was conducted on 240 students selected randomly from 10 senior secondary schools located in Faridabad district of Haryana. The data were collected with the help of Adjustment Inventory for School Students (AISS) developed by Dr. A.K.P. and Spiritual Intelligence Test developed by Prof. Roquiya Zainuddin Chairman of Education Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) Aligarh. The data collected were analysed by using statistical techniques such as mean, standard deviation and Pearson’s correlational coefficient to interpret the correlation between spiritual intelligence and adjustment of senior secondary school students. The findings of the study have shown that adjustment of senior secondary school students is significantly correlated with their spiritual intelligence. Therefore, it can be concluded that adjustment of the students is closely correlated to their spiritual intelligence.
