Abstract:
يستهدف البحث الحالية التعرف على : 1 - الذكاء الروحي لدى طلبة الجامعة مرتفعي التحصيل الدراسي.2 - دلالة الفروق للذكاء الروحي لدى الطلبة مرتفعي التحصيل وفق كل من متغيري. - الجنس (ذكور - اناث). - التخصص (علمي - انساني).3 - الشخصية الاخلاقية لدى طلبة الجامعة مرتفع | Aims of current study can be stated as follow : 1) spiritual intelligence for undergraduates with high achievement.2) differences in spiritual intelligence degrees of undergraduates with high achievement, according to the following variables : a) Gender (Male/female).b) Specialization (scientific/human). 3) moral Personality for undergraduates with high achievement.4) the differences in moral Personality degrees level for undergraduates with high achievement, according to the following variables : a - Gender (Male/female).b - Specialization (scientific/human).5) spiritual intelligence for undergraduates with low achievement.6) differences in spiritual intelligence degrees of undergraduates with high achievement, according to the following variables : a) Gender (Male/female).b) Specialization (scientific/human).7) the level of moral Personality degrees for undergraduates with low achievement.8) the differences in moral Personality degrees level for undergraduates with low achievement, according to the following variables : a - Gender (Male/female).b - Specialization (scientific/human).9) The relationship between the spiritual intelligence and moral character for undergraduates : a - for undergraduates with high achievement.b - for undergraduates low high achievement. To achieve study objectives, the researcher used two research tools. Specifically, The Spiritual Intelligence Self - Report Inventory (King, 2008) was used by the researcher after translation, validity (i.e., face, translation and discriminatory validity) and reliability confirmation (via using test - retest and Chronbach's Alfa Coefficient). The inventory consists of the following areas : 1 - Critical Existential Thinking, 2 - Personal Meaning Production, 3 - Transcendental Awareness, and 4 - Conscious State Expansion. Inventory alternatives were : Completely true of me, Very true of me, somewhat true of me, Not very true of me, and Not at all true of me. Each alternative take degrees ranging from 4 - 0 for positive items and the reverse for negative ones. For moral Personality, a scale was built based on Blasi's model for moral character and the cognitive - social theory. The final version of the scale consisted of (63) items distributed to the following three areas : 1 - Willpower, 2 - Moral desires, and 3 - Integration.Scale alternatives were : Completely true of me, Very true of me, somewhat true of me, Not very true of me, and Not at all true of me. Each alternative take degrees ranging from 5 to 0 for positive items and the reverse for negative ones. The scale validity (using face validity - discriminatory validity - structure) and reliability (test - retest and Chronbach's Alpha) were verified. Moreover, discriminatory power for the scale's items was verified by applying on a sample of (400) female/male undergraduate students of Al Basrah University (morning study).After psychometric characteristics precision was verified for research scales and items, the two scales were applied on the main research sample (i.e., 360 undergraduate male/female undergraduates of Basrah University : 180 undergraduate male/female undergraduates with high achievement and 180 undergraduate male/female undergraduates with low achievement) selected by regular random sample method. Results were extracted using statistical package for social science (SPSS) and statistical methods including arithmetic mean, standard deviation, Pearson coefficient, t - test with one sample, two - ways analysis of variance "ANOVA", mean differences, standard errors and standard errors differences). Findings were as follow : • Undergraduates with high achievement had higher spiritual intelligence and moral character. • There were statistically significant differences between undergraduates with high achievement in spiritual intelligence according to gender (in favor of males), and moral character according to gender (in favor of females). Moreover, no statistically significant differences were appeared according to specialization. • Undergraduates with low achievement had low spiritual intelligence and moral character.• There were statistically significant differences between undergraduates with low achievement in spiritual intelligence according to gender (in favor of males), and moral character according to gender (in favor of females). Moreover, no statistically significant differences were appeared according to specialization. • There were a positive relationship between spiritual intelligence and moral character. Findings were discussed by the researcher according to theories adopted for each variable (i.e. spiritual intelligence and moral character). In addition, according to literature review, many conclusions were drawn including : spiritual intelligence variable was effective for undergraduates in general, and specifically for those with high and low achievement. Moreover, it was shown as significant in enabling individuals address issues facing them. Additionally, the following recommendations were concluded : the development of moral values and standards which play important role in the formation of moral character for undergraduates through consulting courses.
