Abstract
Spiritual intelligence represents a set of spiritual abilities, capacities, and resources, the use of which in daily life can increase a person's adaptability, and paying attention to it in students as a strength can lay the groundwork for a more successful and desirable professional future in them. The aim of the current research was the effectiveness of wisdom training in spiritual intelligence in students. This research was applied and quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and a control group. The statistical population included students of Allameh Tabataba'i University in the academic year 2021-2022, among whom 30 students were selected by convenience sampling method, and divided into an experimental group (n=15) and a control group (n=15). The data collection tool was King's (2008) Spiritual Intelligence Questionnaire (SISRI). The experimental group received 10 sessions of wisdom training. The data were analyzed using the analysis of the covariance test. The results showed that wisdom training was significantly effective in increasing spiritual intelligence, critical existential thinking, the dimension of transcendental consciousness, and the dimension of producing the personal meaning of students. But it did not have a significant effect on the development of students' state of consciousness. As a result, by teaching wisdom and increasing its amount in students, we can increase meaningfulness, transcendental awareness in the lives of students, as a result, increase their spiritual intelligence.

The statistical population of the research in the qualitative part included Persian and English specialized books and articles in the field of cognitive-emotional empowerment in the last 20 years, which were selected by the purposeful sampling method of the sample group. Then the components of cognitive-emotional empowerment were extracted and coded with the qualitative method of thematic analysis. Finally, the package of cognitive-emotional empowerment was compiled during twelve sessions and its formal and content validity was confirmed by experts. The research method in the quantitative part was a semi-experimental type with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of this research includes all the female students of the sixth grade of elementary school in 1400-1401 who were studying in schools in Tehran. The sample size includes 30 people from the statistical population selected by available sampling method and they were placed in two control and experimental groups. For the experimental group, the developed program of cognitive-emotional empowerment was implemented, while the control group did not receive training. The research tools included numerical span test (Wechsler, 2003) and facial emotion recognition test (Ekman and Friesen, 2003). The results showed that the cognitive-emotional empowerment intervention had a significant effect on improving working memory and emotional recognition in the post-test and follow-up stages.
