dc.description.abstractThe present study entitled “Impact of spiritual intelligence on perceived stress and resilience among youth” was undertaken to assess the impact of spiritual intelligence on perceived stress and resilience among youth in joint and nuclear families aged between 23-24 years studying in Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. The total sample comprised of 160 post graduate students from five constituent colleges of Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. Multi stage purposive random sampling was employed to draw sample from different colleges which were equally distributed over the family structure (80 nuclear families and 80 joint families) and gender (80 males and 80 females). A self structured personal information sheet, Spiritual Intelligence Scale (Zainuddin and Ahmed 2010), Stress Scale (Lakshmi and Narain 2014) and Resilience Scale (Wagnild and Young 1993) were used to collect the relevant information from the respondents. Results revealed that youth from joint families had high spiritual intelligence with significant differences in the dimensions of inner self, inter self, biostoria, life perspectives, spiritual actualization and value orientation. With regard to perceived stress, youth belonging to nuclear families were found to score higher mean scores at high level in the dimensions of pressure, physical stress, anxiety and frustration while, youth from joint families were found to have significantly higher resilience with majority of them exhibiting moderate level of resilience. Gender-wise differences revealed that female respondents had high spiritual intelligence with significant differences in inner self, inter self, biostoria, life perspectives, spiritual actualization and value orientation against males whereas male respondents were found to have significantly greater perceived stress as compared to their female counterparts in the dimensions of pressure, physical stress, anxiety and frustration however high level of pressure and anxiety was exhibited by female respondents significantly. In terms of resilience, female respondents were recorded to be significantly better resilient as compared to males. Regression analysis proved that spiritual intelligence had negatively contributed to perceived stress and positively contributed to resilienceen_US
