Abstract:

We counted the conformability of gratitude, spirituality and mental acceptance in youths, whether spirituality was connecting the grateful and accepted. Adolescence to early twenties is a troublesome area - individuals have to deal with mood swings, self-exploration and other mental issues. Their emotions could be kept under control through having something to be thankful for, spiritual, and accepting. In this case, we adopted a convenience sample of 114 young adults in conducting a correlational study. We administered the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II), Daily Spiritual Experience Scale (DSES), Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ-6) and the regularly-used. The correlation revealed that gratitude, spirituality and acceptance are interrelated according to the Pearson correlation coefficient. In addition, the relation of acceptance and appreciation was fully plotted out in the mediation analysis that identified spirituality as the fully explained relationship. In summary, the important element that gratitude enhances in acceptance is the deeper spiritual experiences. Through the study, it is easy to point out the proximity of the spiritual and gratitude combo to affirm emotional well-being and mind acceptance among the youths.
