Impact of Self-Enhancement on Spiritually Non-Oriented Young Adults

Spirituality is an awareness of life which enables us to think about life, who we are and where we come from (Mc Ewan, 2004). Spirituality is the feeling individuals have about the fundamental meaning of who they are, what they are doing, and the contributions they are making (Vaill, 1996). Spiritual beliefs, commitments and practices appear to be related to such positive outcomes such as physical, emotional and psychological well-being, positive interpersonal functioning, and enhanced quality of life (Emmons, 2000). No matter how life is right now, there is a part of the self who has all the knowledge and resources to change it. Self-enhancement is thought to be the foremost motive in the perpetual search for self-knowledge (Sedikides, 1993). To clear all the blockages which stop one from experiencing one’s true self, to explore the inner being, to access one’s highest potential, to learn more about oneself, and to know practical tools and techniques to change one’s life, is self-enhancement.
