The emergence of social media and digital technology has completely changed how adolescents engage, study, and view the world. The current study looked at the adolescents well-being, perceived family climate, and spiritual intelligence. A standardized tool of Spiritual Intelligence scale by Misra (2014), Family Climate Scale by Shah (2006), and Well-Being Scale by Deswal and Kalia (2011) were used to evaluate a sample of 420 adolescents. The results indicated non significant differences in spiritual intelligence, perceived family climate, and well-being based on gender, suggesting that these factors do not play a determining role. However, a significant positive correlation was found between spiritual intelligence and well-being. The findings indicate that while gender does not influence these variables, spiritual intelligence plays an important role in enhancing adolescents’ well-being. The study highlights the importance of fostering holistic development among adolescents without gender bias.
