AB - The present study examined the effects of spiritual well-being and self-esteem on high school students' adjustment to school life. Several studies have examined the relationship between self-esteem and school adjustment among children and adolescents, whereas little research has assessed how spiritual (religious and existential) well-being affects school life adjustment. Results of the present study were as follows: (1) high school students scoring high on a measure of existential well-being were able to adjust to school life better than those with lower scores while religious well-being either did not influence school adjustment or was associated with deteriorated adjustment; (2) while students with high self-esteem adjusted to school life better than those with low self-esteem, those with high self-esteem tended to obtain lower scores on a measure of following school regulations; and (3) several demographic variables (e.g., academic record, grade, gender, and father’s education level) significantly influenced students' school adjustment. These results suggest that it is important to include elements intended to enhance existential well-being, as well as self-esteem, when developing educational programs for improving adolescents' school adjustment. Implications for these findings are further discussed.
