Abstract
This study aims to measure the effect of emotional intelligence, spiritual well-being and social connectedness on psychological well-being of Indian school dropouts. This is a cross-sectional study and the survey was conducted using questionnaires. A total of 84 participants were recruited in this study from MySkills Foundation. Ryff’s Psychological Well-being Scale, Emotional Intelligence Self-Assessment questionnaire, Spiritual Well-Being Scale (shorted version) and revised Social Connectedness Scale were used in the questionnaire to assess the study variables. All the data were analysed using SPSS 23 and p-value< 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The study revealed that spiritual well-being and social connectedness possessed a significant positive and low relationship with psychological well-being of school dropouts (r = 0.262 and r = 0.328; p < 0.05). The spiritual well-being scale possessed a significant positive and low relationship with the dimension of personal development and autonomy (r = 0.302 and r = 0.437; p < 0.05), while social connectedness scale possessed a significant positive and low relationship with the dimension of self-acceptance (r = 0.423, p < 0.05). Although emotional intelligence showed no significant relationship with psychological well-being; it however showed a significant negative and low relationship with the dimension of person growth (r = - 0.217; p < 0.05). This observational study was in line with the current models and theories of positive psychological well-being among vulnerable adolescence. Therefore, this current study promotes the concept and idea that school-dropouts can still be a valuable resource to the community with the evidence of a moderate level of emotional intelligence, spiritual well-being and social connectedness which reflects the true effect of the environment in which school dropouts develop.
