Summary:For downloading the full-text of this article please click here. Background and Objective: The use of spiritual resources can be effective to solve the life-related problems including feeling guilty. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between spiritual intelligence and sexual guilt among students of Ilam University of Science and Research. Method: This study adopted a descriptive-correlational design. The population of the study included all students studying at Ilam University of Science and Research in 2012 - 2013. Using Morgan table, 100 students were selected through convenient sampling technique. Mosher’s Sexual Guilt Inventory and King’s Spiritual Intelligence Self-Report Inventory were utilized for data collection. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression were conducted for analyzing the gathered data. In this study, The ethical issues were all considered and the authors declared no conflict of interest. Results: Based on the obtained results, there was no significant association between the overall spiritual intelligence and sexual guilt scores (r=0.192; p>0.05). However, one of the subscales of spiritual intelligence (i.e. Conscious State Expansion) significantly predicted sexual guilt (r=0.401; p>0.01). Besides, there was a statistically measurable correlation between sexual guilt and students’ age. Nonetheless, no significant relationship was detected between students’ scores on the sexual guilt inventory and their gender (r=0.204; p>0.05). Conclusion: Although no significant connection was observed between students’ spiritual intelligence and sexual guilt, one the subscales of spiritual intelligence had a significant role in understanding and expressing sexual guilt. This role was specifically considerable among older students. For downloading the full-text of this article please click here.
