2 CHAPTER-5 CONSTRUCTION OF THE SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE SCALE Intoduction Main objective of the pesent study is to constuct and standadize spiitual intelligence scale fo colleges students of Gujaat state. So this chapte is the heat of this study. In this chapte component (Dimension) to measue spiitual intelligence, steps to constuct spiitual intelligence scale, scoing method and statistical analysis fo selecting statements wee discussed in detail Components (Dimensions) of the Scale The objective of the pesent study is to measue the spiitual intelligence of bachelo of education (B.Ed.) and maste of education (M.Ed.) college students of Gujaat state. Befoe constucting Spiitual Intelligence Scale, the eseache has efeed following scales of Spiitual Intelligence Scale t Spiitual Intelligence Scale By Shiin R. Jadav t Spiitual Intelligence Test By Nishad B. Oza t Spiitual Intelligence Scale by Bhavin D. Shah t Roqan Spiitual Intelligence Test by Pof. Roquiya Zainuddin and Ms. Anjum Ahmed published by National Psychological Copoation. t Spiitual Intelligence Scale by D. Santosh Dha and D. Upinde Dha published by National Psychological Copoation. Components (Dimensions) in the above scales as well as items of these scales wee studied in detail. Afte the studying the scales and discussion with the guide, the detail list of dimensions wee sent to expets of Education Faculty. Afte that following (components) dimensions wee selected fo the pepaation of Spiitual Intelligence Scale: Components (Dimensions) used fo Spiitual Intelligence Scale : (1) God and Religious God and Religious Belief and Knowledge Regading God Belief Regading Payes 101

3 (2) Self-Awaeness Knowledge about stength and weakness Realisation of inne self Self behaviou with othe pesons Self - satisfaction Belief about own self (3) Religious Concept Knowledge about tadition and festivals of diffeent eligion Equality fo all eligion Knowledge of diffeent eligion Acceptance/ ejection of othe eligion s belief Belief about salvation Knowledge about diffeent eligion s cultue (4) Spiitual Changes Spiitual Changes occu because of: Changes in pesonality because of eligion and spiituality Changes because of eligion education Changes because of spiitual books Changes because of satsang (spiitual discouse) Knowledge about spiitual leades (5) Religious Expeience Evolutions of daily life expeiences in context of spiituality Expeiences of diffeent powe due to spiituality Realisation of god existence (6) Values Democatic peception Moal values Humanism Peace and Empathy Non-violence and Justice Honesty Unity 102

Knowledge about elationship between diffeent eligion and society. (9) Soul, Meditation and Yoga Doing activity like meditation and yoga Belief about existence of soul afte death Belief about eincanation Knowledge about elationship between body and soul Constuction and Layout of Spiitual Intelligence Scale Afte deciding the dimensions (Components) of the Spiitual Intelligence Scale, the next step was to constuct statements. It was decided to include 90 statements in the final fom of the scale. So, it was equied to constuct moe than 90 statements. Reseache had decided layout of the scale that was 5 point scale. It means students get five options to give esponse like Stongly Agee, Agee, Neutal, Disagee, and Stongly Disagee) Constuction of Statements The eseache had studied the concept of spiituality and as pe his undestanding he pepaed some sentences on his own. Some sentences wee pepaed afte having a discussion with the pofessos and the guide while some sentences wee pepaed afte the discussion with the students. Thus, fom the above mentioned souces instuctions on how to espond to the statements and a list of total 166 sentences was pepaed accoding to dimensions. Details of statement accoding to dimensions ae given in Table

List of Expets who sent back thei view is attached in Appendix-A. The expets views and suggestions egading the statements of the scale It was obseved that the expets had diected the attentions of the eseache towads length of statements, gammatical eos, ielevant statements and also towads adding new statements and keep 1/3 statements negative fo each dimension in the scale. Accoding to the suggestions and ecommendations given by the expets, investigato coected and made changes in the statements. By keeping in mind suggestions of expets ielevant statements wee emoved and 15 statements fo each dimension wee finalised fo the pe-piloting of the scale Pe-Piloting of the Scale The pe-piloting tyout was caied out keeping in mind the following objectives: (A) To modify the statement if students find it ambiguous o confusion. (B) To modify the instuction of the scale if equied. 104

6 Fo the Pe-Pilot Test of the Spiitual Intelligence Scale, sample fom 1 college of Bachelo of Education (B.Ed.) and 1 Colleges of Maste of Education (M.Ed.) i.e. fom total 2 colleges wee selected. The details of the sample ae given in the table-5.2.

The difficulties faced by them wee noted down and equied changes wee made in the statements. They wee also asked to povide feedback, if any, doubt of any aspect of the Scale, including claity of instuctions, woding of Statement, esponse fomat and content. No statistical analysis was done at this stage.thus, on the basis of pe-pilot ty out, vey small coection wee made in the statements and instuctions Pilot Tyout of the Scale The objectives of the pilot ty out wee as follows: (A) To select the statements based on the statistical analysis (t-value and Coelation Coefficient) (B) To select statements fo the final un. Now, in the pepaed scale, the geneal instuctions about scale, as well as infomation egading the students such as a, name, college name, college level, gende, aea of esidence, type of college, unde gaduate / post gaduate subject, Categoy wee mentioned on the scale and 450 copies wee made of this Spiitual Intelligence Scale. 105

7 Fo each dimension eseache had constucted 15 statements i.e.10 positive and 05 negative statements. Detail of statements accoding to dimension is given in Table-5.3.

Total 207 male students and 163 female students wee selected. Befoe, administeing the scale to the students, all the instuctions wee ead befoe them and Spiitual Intelligence Scale was given fo Pilot Ty out. Afte students completed thei wok and gave thei esponses on Spiitual Intelligence Scale, all the scales wee collected back. Afte that item analysis was caied out Item Analysis Total 370 scales wee checked based on the scoing of the scale; they wee shoted in descending ode of the scoes of the students. Afte that, the top 27%, i.e. 100 students wee selected as Uppe Goup of the students and the bottom 27% students i.e. 100 students wee selected as a Lowe Goup of the students. Fo each statement keeping in the view the choice as Stongly Agee, Agee, Neutal, Disagee, Stongly Disagee, the t-value and coelation was calculated fo the Uppe Goup and Lowe Goup. The fequency distibution of the esponses of the sentences in tems of the goup achieving highe 27% scoe and lowe 27% scoe is shown in Table The t-value was calculated using the following fomula. Whee, Xu = Mean of the uppe goup Xl = Mean of the lowe goup SDu = Standad Deviation of the uppe goup SDl = Standad Deviation of the Lowe goup N = Numbe of students u = Uppe Goup l = Lowe Goup 108
