A sample consisted of 312 participants were selected by multistage cluster sampling method. Instruments were included, the Conner-Davidson’s Resilience Scale (2003), the Spiritual Intelligence of King (2008) and the Emotion Regulation Scale (SRI) of Marques, Ibanez, Ruiperez, Moya, Ortet (2005). To analyze the relationship between variables and predict resilience changes, Pearson correlation and the stepwise regression analysis were used. The results showed that there was a significant positive correlation between spiritual intelligence and emotional regulation with resilience. The stepwise regression analysis showed that in the first step spiritual intelligence, alone, predicts.11 of resilience (P<.001) and in the second step of spiritual intelligence and emotion regulation together predicts.14 of resilience (P<.001). Based on these findings, spiritual intelligence and emotion regulation had a positive and significant role in predicting of resilience and spiritual intelligence was a stronger predictor for resilience. Therefore it is proposed that spiritual intelligence and emotion regulation were concentrated in the programs of adolescents’ schools and in their consultation
