Spiritual involvement, resilience, and positive mindset in adults' young adults

Spirituality is an integral part of human experience, influencing emotional well-being, resilience, and psychological health. This study examines the relationship between spiritual involvement, resilience, and a positive mindset among adults aged 30 and above. The objective is to explore how spiritual engagement contributes to greater emotional strength and optimistic thinking. A quantitative, cross-sectional research design was adopted, with data collected from 250 participants through validated self-report questionnaires. Measures included the Daily Spiritual Experience Scale (DSES) for spirituality, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) for resilience, and the Positive Mindset Index (PMI) for assessing optimism and mental well-being. Results indicate a significant positive correlation between spiritual involvement and resilience (r = 0.482, p < 0.01) as well as between spiritual involvement and a positive mindset (r = 0.451, p < 0.01). Gender differences were observed, with women reporting slightly higher levels of spiritual involvement and resilience than men. The findings suggest that spirituality plays a vital role in enhancing resilience and promoting a positive outlook on life. These results highlight the need for further research into integrating spiritual practices into psychological interventions aimed at fostering mental well-being.
