Abstract
The purpose of this correlational study was to investigate the goodness-of-fit of a causal relationship model of spiritual creativity, school social support, proactive coping, positive psychological characteristics, digital intelligence, and digital life adaptation behaviors among Grade 10 students. The sample consisted of 420 Grade 10 students, selected through proportional stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a 6-point Likert scale questionnaire, with reliability coefficients ranging from .80 to .92. Data analysis was performed using LISREL for Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results indicated that the developed causal relationship model was an acceptable fit with the empirical data, with the following goodness-of-fit indices: chi-square = 498.28, df = 172, p < .001, chi-square/df = 2.897, RMSEA = .067, SRMR = .047, CFI = .99, and NFI = .98. Regarding the magnitude and direction of influences, the findings revealed that Spiritual Creativity had a significant direct effect on positive psychological characteristics (b = .45, p < .05) and exerted a significant indirect effect on digital life adaptation behaviors through proactive coping and positive psychological characteristics (b = .24, p < .05). School Social Support had a significant direct effect on digital intelligence (b = .79, p < .05) and positive psychological characteristics (b = .43, p < .05). While also a exerting a significant indirect effect on digital life adaptation behaviors via proactive coping, digital intelligence, and positive psychological characteristics (b = .54, p < .05). Additionally, Proactive Coping demonstrated a significant direct effect on positive psychological characteristics (b = .39, p < .05). Finally, Digital Intelligence and Positive Psychological Characteristics both exhibited a significant direct effect on digital life adaptation behaviors (b = .48, p < .05 and b = .38, p < .05, respectively).
