Abstract: Psychological
assessment has tended to focus on the identification of attitudes that
contribute to, and are symptomatic of, mental and physical disorders.
This focus is most useful when clinicians and researchers seek to identify the
degree to which individuals are impaired or at-risk. The
purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between resiliency,
spiritual intelligence and mental health among male and female students of HormozganUniversity.
Statistical sample of the study consists of male and female students of Hormozgan University, among which 100 were
selected by random sampling. In this research Resiliency Questionnaire of
Connor & Davidson, General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) and Spiritual
Intelligence Questionnaire of Abdollah-Zadeh were used. The results indicated
that there was a positive meaningful relationship (p<0.01) between
resiliency and mental health, and also between spiritual intelligence and
resiliency (p<0.01). Based on the results of T-test, there is no meaningful
resiliency difference between male and female students. On the other hand,
results of multiple regressions analysis indicated that mental health and
spiritual intelligence meaningfully explain resiliency. Mental health has more
significant role in predicting and explaining resiliency. Mental health and
spiritual Intelligence had a significant role in explaining resiliency. Due to
the fact that people with higher resiliency represent higher degree of mental
health, we can conclude that providing vital factors (religion, spirit) to
enhance resiliency can strengthen people in the face of mental stresses, tension
and depression.
