Özet:

The present study was aimed to examine the association of reflective thinking, bonding to God, religious orientation and spiritual intelligence among students. Sample of 365 university students (162 = females and 203 = males), with 18 to 26 years of age were taken from different departments of Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan, Pakistan. Reflective thinking Scale (QRT) by Kember (2000), self-report inventory of Spiritual intelligence (SISRI) by King, (2008), Bonding to God Scale (BTGS) by Saleem (2004), and translated version of religious orientation (RO) originally developed by Francis and Leslie (2007) were used to measure study variables. Results revealed significant positive relationship among intrinsic religious orientation, bonding to God, critical reflection and spiritual intelligence. Reflection was positively correlated with quest orientation and spiritual intelligence. On reflective thinking, no significant gender difference was revealed. ANOVA analysis showed that student that had strong religious commitment had high level of bonding to God as compared to moderate or mild religious commitment at p<0.05.
