Designing and validating the pattern of formation of spiritual intelligence of female high school students in Tabriz

The present study was conducted to design and validate the pattern of formation of spiritual intelligence of female high school students. This research is of applied type and modeling which has been done by field method. The statistical population included 19142 female high school students in Tabriz in the academic year 1398-99. The sample size was determined using Krejcie and Morgan formula and 206 people were selected by cluster random sampling method. The instrument used was a researcher-made questionnaire which was used after confirming the face, content and structure validity and its reliability using Cronbach's alpha method. Cronbach's alpha for the whole questionnaire was equal to 0.928 which indicates a high internal consistency between the questions of the questionnaire. Also, the retest method was used to measure the external reliability of the questionnaire. Pearson correlation coefficient between the two tests (p = 0.001, r = 0.734) indicates the appropriate external reliability for the questionnaire.In this study,3 main components under the headings: context, process and consequences were identified as the main components in the formation of students' spiritual intelligence. In order to analyze the data, descriptive and inferential statistics and structural equation modeling were used using Spss and Amos software.The results showed that the proposed model has a good validity and all the obtained components can be used in designing the final model.
