AB - This research examined the effect of spirituality and religiosity on general mental health of Christian adolescent. A sample of 333 junior-high and high school students of Sunday school was examined using General Health Questionnaire-12, Spiritual Well-Being Scale by Paloutzian and Ellison, and Religious Orientation Inventory by Allport and Ross. Significant difference existed among household finance groups in terms of mental distress scores, with poor household finance group more mentally distressed than affluent household finance group. Significant correlations were found between spiritual well-being and religiosity. Students with high religious well-being tend to have high intrinsic religious orientation and low extrinsic religious orientation. Significant correlations were found between spiritual well-being and mental health, and religiosity and mental health. Students with high spiritual well-being and high intrinsic religious orientation tend to have good mental health; students with high extrinsic religious orientation tend to have poor mental health. A significant causal relationship was found from spiritual well-being and religiosity to mental health. Mental health was positively affected by religious well-being and intrinsic religious orientation, whereas it was negatively affected by extrinsic religious orientation. No significant causal relationship was found from existential well-being to mental health. These results showed a mutual relationship between spiritual well-being and religiosity on mental health. This study suggested a holistic approach to mental health and provided implications for Christian counseling by means of therapeutic and preventative measures.
