ABSTRACT
Adolescence is an important developmental stage between childhood and adulthood and presents numerous physical and psychological changes that pose unique challenges for adolescents. Spirituality has long been recognized as having a major impact on mental health and overall well-being during this phase. This study explored the relationship between family climate, spiritual intelligence, and well-being among adolescents aged 13-18. 108 participants aged 13-18 took part in this research study. Data was gathered using the Spiritual Intelligence Scale, Family Environment Scale, and General Well-Being Schedule. Our findings revealed a positive partial relationship between spiritual intelligence and family climate as well as between family climate and well-being among adolescents. These results demonstrate the significance of positive parent-child relationships characterized by minimal conflict, strong support, and clear communication. Relationships that foster adolescents’ faith and identity development play a significant role in shaping adolescent religious participation. Family climate can play an integral part in molding the lives of adolescents. These findings contribute to our knowledge of the factors affecting adolescents’ well-being, emphasizing supportive family dynamics and spiritual intelligence development during this critical developmental stage.
