“…As a result, the finding of r/s struggle being an important predictor of PTS symptoms might partly be attributable to the composition of the sample. Moreover, the developmental phase of emerging adulthood has been linked to natural fluctuations in worldviews and religiousness (Gutierrez & Park, 2015;Schwartz, Zamboanga, Luyckx, Meca, & Ritchie, 2013). In other age groups, the findings might thus differ from the current ones.…”

Both meaning violations (i.e., discrepancies between individuals' global meaning system and appraised meaning of events) and religious/spiritual (r/s) struggles (i.e., spiritual tensions often arising due to stressful life events) have been related to post-traumatic stress (PTS) symptoms. While both constructs represent strain on an individual's meaning system, their interrelations and their independent relationships with PTS symptoms are not well understood. The aim of the current study was to explore those relations and investigate whether a sense of meaning in life (MIL) attenuates the hypothesized links. One-hundred-eighty-nine college students (78.3% female) who could identify a stressful life event that they had not yet resolved completed self-report measures of PTS symptoms, r/s struggles, meaning violations, and MIL. First, bivariate Pearson correlations indicated that all facets of r/s struggle and goal-(but not belief) violations, were significantly and positively related to PTS symptoms. Further, the association between goal and belief violations and r/s struggles differed based on the specific facet of struggle measured. Second, multiple regression analysis showed that both r/s struggles and goal violations were independently associated with PTS symptoms. Third, moderation analyses demonstrated that a sense of MIL attenuated the association between goal violations and symptomatology but only buffered the correlates of low and medium levels of r/s struggle. Promoting people's general sense of MIL thus seems to have the potential to buffer the negative sequelae of both goal violations and certain levels of r/s struggle.

“…A recent study conducted by Winston et al (2013) provides support for these perspectives, finding that greater existential engagement corresponds with increases in multiple categories of psychopathology. Furthermore, undergraduates may be particularly susceptible to this association, as they are commonly in the process of developing worldviews and lack satisfactory answers to ultimate concerns of human existence such as the meaning of life and death (Gutierrez & Park, 2014).…”

This study investigates a recently developed model of spiritual intelligence in relation to the common mental health concerns of depression, anxiety, and substance use. Three-hundred and fifty-three undergraduate psychology students responded to the Spiritual Intelligence Self-Report Inventory, the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale–Revised, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, and the Drug, Alcohol, and Nicotine scale. We hypothesized spiritual intelligence would be negatively associated with the study’s mental health outcomes. A secondary aim was to examine the contributions of spiritual intelligence model components to mental health. Overall spiritual intelligence was not associated with anxiety, depression, or substance use. Examination of the relationships between spiritual intelligence components and mental health suggested this model lacks cohesiveness in relation to mental health. While the capacity to critically examine existential issues was associated with increased depression and anxiety, the ability to draw meaning and purpose from experience was associated with improvements in all mental health outcomes. These findings cast doubt on the construct of spiritual intelligence and suggest that existential thinking and the production of meaning may be closely related to mental health. Future research should explore differences in spiritual intelligence components and their associations with mental health among varying religious affiliations.

“…Los cambios producidos en esta etapa, aunado al aumento de las demandas académicas, pueden dificultar la adaptación exitosa a la universidad, generar niveles elevados de estrés, insatisfacción o bajo rendimiento académico (Franco, 2015). Sin embargo, factores externos como la educación universitaria (Gutierrez & Park, 2015), el apoyo de familiares, amigos o de una pareja romántica (Arnett, 2013) y factores internos como el optimismo (Arnett, Žukauskienė, & Sugimura, 2014), la autoestima y la autoeficacia (Arnett, 2013) son importantes para hacer frente a esta transición.…”

ResumenIntroducción. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue explorar si el estrés académico, la autoeficacia académica y el rendimiento académico son variables relacionadas con la resiliencia y contrastar las variables estudiadas entre grupos clasificados como alta y baja resiliencia en una muestra de adultos emergentes que estudian la universidad. Método. Se trabajó con una muestra aleatoria estratificada, de 288 estudiantes, 176 mujeres y 112 hombres entre 18 y 25 años. Se aplicó una cédula de datos académicos y sociodemográficos, el inventario de estrés académico; la Escala de Autoeficacia en Conductas Académicas y el cuestionario de Resiliencia. La investigación se realizó en una Universidad pública. A los participantes, se les dio a conocer el objetivo de la investigación y la confidencialidad con la que se resguardaría la información recibida, su participación fue voluntaria. Los instrumentos, se aplicaron en forma grupal dentro de los salones de clase, con un tiempo aproximado de 35 minutos. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos, correlaciones entre las variables y, entre sus factores; además un análisis comparativo con el estadístico t de Student. Resultados. Se observan niveles de estrés académico moderados; autoeficacia académica percibida satisfactoria; el rendimiento académico es moderado y un nivel moderado de resiliencia. Las correlaciones son moderadas, bajas y estadísticamente significativas; se encontraron diferencias estadísticas significativas entre los grupos clasificados como alta y baja resiliencia. Discusión y conclusiones. Los resultados señalan que cuando aumentan los niveles de estrés académico, la resiliencia disminuye. A medida que la autoeficacia académica es más satisfactoria, aumenta el rendimiento académico y la resiliencia; puesto que hay una relación directa entre variables. El grupo clasificado como no resiliente tiene puntuaciones más altas de estrés, se perciben menos autoeficaces y un rendimiento académico ligeramente más bajo que el grupo clasificado como resiliente.
