Abstract


Spirituality is considered as a way of living which predetermines how individuals respond to life experiences, how it influences them to work together and behave more socially and responsibly. The present study hypothesized that there will be a significant relationship between adolescence psychological well-being, spirituality and prosocial behaviour and there will be a significant gender difference. For the purpose of the study a total of hundred and ten data was collected from adolescences belonging to the age range of 16 to 19. Riff's Psychological Well-being Scale, Spirituality Scale by C. Delaney, and Prosocial tendencies Measure by Carlo & Randall were administered. The correlation analysis showed a significant positive relationship between psychological well-being and Spirituality and non-significant relationship between psychological well-being and prosocial behaviour. The Implications for interventions and strategies aimed at promoting pro-social and well-being of adolescents are discussed.
