Abstract
The rapidly evolving landscape of modern society places significant psychological and emotional demands on individuals, making resilience and spiritual intelligence essential attributes for navigating adversity. Resilience, the ability to recover from setbacks, and spiritual intelligence, which encompasses meaning-making and ethical awareness, play a crucial role in academic and personal development. This study explores the comparative impact of gender and subject discipline on these attributes, analyzing how individuals cultivate and express them in different contexts. Research suggests that women generally exhibit higher emotional intelligence and relational spirituality, while men tend to employ logical and task-oriented coping strategies. Similarly, academic disciplines shape resilience and spiritual intelligence differently—STEM students often develop resilience through structured problem-solving, while humanities and social sciences students engage in introspection and ethical reflection. The intersection of gender and discipline further influences these attributes, with female STEM students encountering additional resilience-building challenges and male humanities students navigating societal expectations around emotional expression. Drawing insights from contemporary research and the Indian knowledge system, which integrates spiritual and philosophical traditions, this study highlights the role of resilience and spiritual intelligence in fostering adaptability. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of human development and offer implications for educational and psychological interventions aimed at enhancing these attributes in diverse academic and personal settings.
