“…This result is very positive news and also reflects a phenomenon wherein there tends to be neither gender nor age discrimination in the Taiwanese culture. This result is also similar with the results of other previous studies which also used international students in Asian cultures as samples (Pan, Wong, Chan, & Joubert, 2008). However, if international students have chances to work for Taiwan companies, age, gender, previous overseas experience, and language ability will have an impact on their cross-cultural adjustment.…”

Abstract. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the relationship between spiritual intelligence and emotional intelligence with resilience in undergraduate (BA) students. The population of the study included all students of Payame Noor University in Ghorveh city during 2016-2017 academic years. According to the principles of statistical methodology for correlational studies, 100 students from different disciplines were selected as sample of the study using simple random sampling method. In this research, King's Spiritual Intelligence Questionnaire, Bar-Ann 90-questions Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire, and Conner and Davison resilience questionnaire were used. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regressions) were used to analyse the data. The results of this study showed that there is a significant positive correlation between spiritual intelligence and emotional intelligence and resilience, and also there is a significant positive correlation between emotional intelligence and resilience. Regression coefficients showed that spiritual intelligence and emotional intelligence predict 53.9% of the variation in resiliency.

“…There is only a small body of literature on perception of existential meaning and related factors among the Chinese (see Ho et al 2010;Lin 2001;Pan et al 2008;Pan 2011;Shek 1988Shek , 1992Shek , 1993Shek 1987), and almost none of these studies involved mainland Chinese (see Pan 2011, for an exception). The most systematic work in this regard may be the one conducted by Lin (2001), in which sources of meaning among Chinese immigrants in Canada were examined via a revised edition of the PMP.…”

The current studies were designed to explore the structure of sources of meaning in life among Chinese university students. In Study 1, we content-analyzed 171 students' answers to the question of what made their lives meaningful and derived 74 frequently mentioned ideas. Then, we composed a questionnaire based on these ideas and administered it to another sample of 523 university students in Study 2. Seven underlying dimensions were identified through exploratory factor analysis: Self-development (i.e., to accomplish one's aspirations and actualize one's potential), social commitment (i.e., to contribute to society and to adhere to moral principles), interpersonal relationships (i.e., relationships with family members, friends and others), secular pursuits (i.e., stable jobs, material possessions and social status), experiences in life (i.e., to experience all the joys and sorrows in life), civilization (i.e., reading, thinking, music and arts), and autonomy (i.e., to make decisions freely and take charge of one's own life). Results are discussed in light of the philosophical influences in Chinese culture, especially those from Confucianism and Taoism.
