Depression, Spiritual Intelligence, MindfulnessAbstract
The present study aims to investigate depression among adolescents with spiritual intelligence and mindfulness. The study was conducted on 500 adolescents studying in government and private schools/colleges in Karnataka. The sample of 500 adolescents was drawn from five randomly selected districts in Karnataka. The Spiritual Intelligence Scale (SIS-MK) by Misra (2014) Misra (2014), the Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) by Brown and Rayan (2003) and the Mental Depression Scale by Dubey (2006) were used for data collection. The results reveal that there is a significant and negative relationship between depression and spiritual intelligence. A significant and negative relationship also exists between depression and mindfulness. The results further indicate that the conjoint effect of spiritual intelligence and mindfulness on depression among adolescents is higher than their individual effects. Spiritual intelligence and mindfulness would contribute towards the prediction of depression of adolescents both independently and conjointly.
