    (UMT Lahore, 2016) Memoona Arshad
    The present study investigated the relationship between spirituality and sense of coherence among students. It was hypothesized that there is likely to be a relationship between spirituality and sense of coherence among students. Multidimensional measure of Islamic Spirituality scale (Dasti and Sitwat, 2010) and sense of coherence (Antonovesky, 1987) were used. Correlation (cross sectional) research design was employed. The non-probability convenient sample of 210 students including 106 women and 104 men students with age range of 18-27 years (M = 22.1, SD = 2.59) was drawn from University of Management and Technology and the Punjab University of Lahore. The results of Pearson product moment correlation revealed that positive relationship between spirituality and sense of coherence whether sense of coherence whether job had negative relationship with sense of coherence. Furthermore, multiple regression disclosed self-discipline and tolerance-intolerance were found to be significant positive predictors of sense of coherence whereas search and quest for divinity and self-aggrandizement were found to be significant negative predictors of sense of coherence. T-test revealed that women were found to be higher on spirituality as compare to men. The importance of this study lies in hypothesizing a positive relationship of spirituality and sense of coherence to explore multidimensional positive behavioral and cognitive patterns in Pakistani culture to enhance well-being.
