ABSTRACT

The current research looks at the connection between spirituality and life satisfaction in young adults, i.e.- from 18 to 25 years of age. Using the Spiritual Experience Index-Revised (SEI-R) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), data were collected from a sample of 100 participants. IBM SPSS 26 was utilised for data analysis, including correlation analysis, regression analysis, and independent samples t-tests. Results revealed a significant positive correlation between spirituality, as measured by the SEI-R subscales, and life satisfaction (r = .996, p < .01). Regression analysis indicated that spirituality significantly predicted life satisfaction (R^2 = .993, p < .01). However, independent samples t-tests showed no significant differences in life satisfaction levels between young adults with high and low spirituality (p > .05). These findings suggest that while spirituality contributes to overall life satisfaction, other factors may also play a role in shaping SWB in young adults. This study provides insights into the intricate connection between spirituality and contentment of life, highlighting the prominence of considering multiple factors in interpreting life satisfaction among young adults.
