Abstract

The current research aimed to detect the relationship between wisdom-based thinking and spiritual intelligence according to brain dominance patterns. The descriptive correlational approach was used. The basic research sample consisted of (548) male and female students with a mean age of (20.68) years and a standard deviation of (1.17) from Assiut University colleges. The Spiritual Intelligence, Wisdom-Based Thinking, and Brain Dominance Pattern Scales were used. The results showed a positive relationship between spiritual intelligence and wisdom-based thinking, which does not change despite brain dominance patterns. There were also statistically significant differences between students' mean scores on Wisdom-Based Thinking and Spiritual Intelligence Scales according to brain dominance patterns (left, right, integrated) in favor of those with integrated brain dominance. There were no statistically significant differences between students' mean scores on the Wisdom-Based Thinking Scale according to gender (males - females) except in the Emotional Management dimension in favor of males; there were statistically significant differences according to the academic specialization (scientific-literary) in favor of the literary specialization. The results showed no statistically significant differences between students' mean scores on the Spiritual Intelligence Scale total score according to gender (males-females). There were statistically significant differences in the (Grace, Meaning, and Transcendence) dimensions according to gender in favor of females and according to the academic specialization (scientific-literary) in favor of the literary specialization. The results indicated that the (right) brain pattern is the dominant pattern among the research sample according to gender and academic specialization, followed by the integrated and left brain patterns
