ABSTRACT
Spirituality and religiosity are salient constructs in the lives of young adults and are associated with several positive physical and mental health outcomes. Spirituality is defined as the quality of being concerned with the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things. Religion is a set of organized beliefs, practices, and systems that most often relate to the belief and worship of a controlling force, such as a personal god or another supernatural being. There are research findings in the area of human development examining the influence of spirituality on developmental outcomes in different stages of lifespan. Spiritual struggles, including troubled relationships with God, negative interactions in religious settings, and chronic religious doubting, were related to psychological distress in adolescents (Ellison and Lee, 2010). Few studies investigate the concept of spirituality and religiosity in the mentally distressed population, adolescents, and not with that of young adults. Therefore, the current study aims to investigate the relationship of spirituality and religiosity with psychological well-being in young adults and also further look into the existing differences in these young adults in spirituality and religiosity. The sample size will be determined based on the research. The obtained data will be analyzed using SPSS for the relationship of the variables and differences of young adults using ‘t’ analysis.
