Moreover, data analysis was performed utilizing inferential statistics (Pearson correlation and multiple regression). The significance level was considered 0.01 in this study.
Results: The results showed that spiritual intelligence correlated significantly with social anxiety (r=-0.651, P<0.001), and there was a remarkable association between personal beliefs and social anxiety (r=0.335, P<0.001).
