Abstract

This study examines the impact of spirituality on resilience and investigates the mediating effects of self-esteem and self-control in the relationship between spirituality and resilience. A self-report survey was conducted using scales measuring spirituality, self-esteem, self-control, and resilience among adults aged 19 and older. Data from 397 respondents were analyzed. The results of this study are summarized as follows: First, correlation analysis among spirituality, self-esteem, self-control, and resilience showed significant positive correlations among all variables. Second, self-esteem and self-control were each found to partially mediate the relationship between spirituality and resilience. Third, self-esteem and self-control sequentially mediated the relationship between spirituality and resilience. These results indicate that spirituality positively influences self-esteem, which in turn enhances self-control, thereby increasing resilience. Finally, implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research are discussed.
