Abstract
The present study entitled “A cross-cultural analysis of the correlates of spiritual intelligence among youth” was undertaken to assess spiritual intelligence and its individual and contextual attributes of youth. The sample comprised of 360 youth aged between 20-22 years studying in Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab and Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand. The selection was made to have equal number of males (180) and females (180) from both the cultural settings. A self-structured personal information sheet, Spiritual Intelligence Scale (Dhar & Dhar 2010), Levenson’s Scale for Locus of Control (Vohra 1999), Mental health Battery (Singh & Gupta 2000), Family Environment Scale (Bhatia & Chadha 1993), Parent Peer Attachment (Armsden &
Mark 2009) were used to collect relevant data. Results revealed that youth of Punjab were significantly more benevolent, modest, and compassionate with better overall spiritual intelligence than youth of Uttarakhand. Significant locale and gender difference was observed in spiritual intelligence where males and females of Punjab displayed higher spiritual intelligence as compared to their counterpart. Spiritual intelligence was found to be significantly negatively correlated with powerful others, and chance control while positively correlated with individual control. Furthermore, spiritual intelligence was observed to have significant and positive correlation with mental health and academic achievement of youth. Significantly positive relation was found among most of the dimensions of family environment and spiritual intelligence. Similarly, mother, father & peer trust and communication were also positively correlated ,whereas, alienation of mother, father & peer was negatively correlated among youth.
