Abstract
Background and Aim: Improving the quality of life of students is very important for the scientific progress of the society. Also, one of the important responsibilities of the university, in addition to the academic progress of students, is to pay attention to the quality of life of students. Therefore, the present study was conducted to examine the role of moral intelligence and economic literacy in predicting the quality of life among students.
Methods: The present study was descriptive-correlational. The research population included all male and female undergraduate students of Farhangian University of Qazvin province in the academic year of 2022-23, of which 269 were selected by available sampling and answered questionnaires of Moral intelligence Lennick & Kiel (2007), economic literacy Safara et al. (2021), and quality of life Ware et al. (2001). Data analysis was done with Pearson's correlation test and multiple regressions with the help of SPSS 24 software.
Ethical Considerations: In this study, ethical principles including confidentiality, the anonymity of participants' information, and informed consent were observed.
Results: The results indicated a direct relationship between moral intelligence (r = 0.746) and economic literacy (r = 0.604) with students' quality of life. The components of moral intelligence explained 54.3% of the variance in quality of life, while economic literacy accounted for 36% of the variance (P < 0.01).
Conclusion: Based on the results, policymakers and higher education authorities should place greater emphasis on designing and enhancing educational programs focused on ethical concepts, such as moral intelligence, and financial education, including economic literacy, to facilitate improved student quality of life, economic growth, and sustainable societal development.
