The present study investigated the relationship among spiritual well-being, coping styles and psychological
well-being of adolescents. A sample of 672 students (336 boys and 336 girls) of 13-19 years from government
and private schools / colleges of Lahore was collected through purposive sampling. Three self report
instruments: Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ, Argyle & Hills, 2002), Spiritual Well-Being Scale
(SWBS, Paloutzian & Ellison, 1982) and Coping Strategies Questionnaire (CSQ, Kausar & Munir, 2004) were
administered in group settings. The data were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient;
Regression Analysis; and Independent Sample t test. The results indicated that psychological well-being was
predicted by existential or spiritual well-being. The adolescents used more active practical and active-distractive
coping and less use of avoidance focused coping. Moreover, adolescent girls showed greater religious wellbeing and used more active-distractive and avoidance focused coping as compared to adolescent boys. On the
basis of the results, it is concluded that coping styles and existential well-being play a pivotal role in
adolescents' psychological well-being. On these grounds, it is suggested to devise some counseling program in
order to teach adolescents how to handle stress and cope with it.
