| Abstract | ||
| The study aimed to explore spiritual intelligence and its relationship with strategies for coping with psychological and social stress among high school students in the villages of East Jerusalem. It also sought to examine the relationship between spiritual intelligence and other variables. To achieve the study's objectives, the researcher employed a correlational methodology. The study population consisted of all high school students in the villages of East Jerusalem, totaling 8,394 students. A random sample of 205 questionnaires was selected for the study. The researcher used two tools: the Spiritual Intelligence Scale and the Psychological and Social Stress Coping Strategies Scale. The study results indicated that the level of spiritual intelligence among high school students in the villages of East Jerusalem was high, with an average of 80.1%. The results did not reveal statistically significant differences in the level of spiritual intelligence attributed to gender and economic status, while differences were found related to the place of residence, favoring students from urban areas. Additionally, no differences were found in coping strategies for stress related to gender and economic status. The findings showed that the level of coping strategies for psychological and social stress among high school students in the villages of East Jerusalem was high, at 87.17%. The results indicated differences in religious coping strategies, favoring urban students, and in the "emotional coping" and "inappropriate behavioral strategy" favoring students from private schools. The study also found a positive correlation between spiritual intelligence and positive coping strategies, and a negative correlation with inappropriate behavioral strategies. In light of the study's results, the researchers made several recommendations, including the need to systematically and effectively enhance the spiritual and value-based aspects of the programs and activities offered to high school students in rural areas. | ||
