The Relationship between Spiritual Well-being and Psychological Well-being among University Students
Abstract
This study is to investigate the relation of spiritual well-being and psychological well-being among Korean college students. The purpose of the study is to examine the importance of clients' spirituality in counseling and psychotherapy. The participants were 667 Korean college students (320 males and 347 females), ages ranged from 19 to 30 (M=22.33, SD=2.21). The psychological tests used in this research are the followings: the Korean version of the Spiritual Well-Being Scale and the Psychological Well-Being Scale. In the results, female students showed higher score of spiritual well-being than male students, and male students showed higher score of autonomy, environmental mastery than female students. The score of psychological well-being was found to be higher as the age and economic level of participants. Correlational analysis revealed that Spiritual well-being is positively related to psychological well-being and psychological sub-factors of well-being, and existential well-being is positively related to all psychological sub-factor well-being, and religious well-being is not necessarily related to autonomy. To contemplate over the study, stepwise regression is used. It revealed as religious well-being score gets higher, the scores of autonomy, environmental mastery, self acceptance, purpose in life of college students decrease if it was adjusted by existential well-being. The result agrees with previous studies that the religious well-being is negatively related to the psychological well-being as adjusted by existential well-being. These findings indicate the importance of spiritual well-being to help clients who are religious and have religion in counseling and psychotherapy. The mental health practitioners are suggested to be concerned about the psychological trait of clients especially when they deal with autonomy of clients.
