SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE AND ITS INFLUENCE ON COGNITIVE EMOTION REGULATION STRATEGIES

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationship between spiritual intelligence (SI) and cognitive emotion regulation (CER) among undergraduate students in Karachi. Employing a quantitative research approach, the study utilized a convenience sample of 220 undergraduate students from various universities in Karachi within a correlational research design. Data were collected using the Spiritual Intelligence Self-Report Inventory (SISRI) and the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) to assess the association between the two constructs. The study further examines whether spiritual intelligence significantly predicts cognitive emotion regulation using linear regression analysis, while correlational analysis is employed to explore the strength and direction of the relationship between SI and CER.
