Abstract
This research was intended to investigate the relationship between spiritual intelligence, social intelligence and death anxiety in Ahwaz metropolitan senile community. The sample randomly embraced 200 elders who were selected via multi-stage random sampling procedure. Spiritual Intelligence Scale (ISIS), Tromso Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS) and Collet-Lester Fear of Death Scale (CL-FODS) were responded by the subjects as data resources. As the research was designed as descriptive-correlation study, Pearson product-moment Correlation and Multivariable Regression Analysis were implemented as main statistical methods. Results indicated that there was significant correlation between spiritual intelligence and death anxiety, but social intelligence and death anxiety were not significantly correlated. Multivariable Regression Analysis output also revealed that spiritual intelligence significantly predicated death anxiety while social intelligence had no significant role in predicting death anxiety. Promoting spiritual intelligence during different development stages could be taken into account based on spiritual intelligence contribution in decrementing death anxiety.
