Abstract

The research aimed at clarifying the relationship between systems intelligence and the enjoyment of life among a sample of (265) male and female students from the Faculty of Education - Suez University, with an average age of 20.04 and a standard deviation of 1.8, and the Systems Intelligence Scale was applied to them prepared by: Khalil (2016), and the measure of enjoyment of life prepared by: researcher. Using analysis of variance, correlation coefficients and regression analysis, the research reached the following results: There are no statistically significant effect for (gender- educational level) or the interactions between them on enjoying life and its dimensions. There are no statistically significant differences between the academic divisions and the enjoyment of life and its dimensions except for the Kindergarten and Chemistry divisions. The high level of enjoyment of life among the study sample, as it was found that the physical dimension is the highest. No statistically significant effects of the variables (gender - educational level) or the interactions between them on systems intelligence. No statistically significant differences in the systems intelligence due to the variable of the academic divisions. There are statistically significant differences in enjoying life and its dimensions between high and low systems intelligence students in favor of high systems intelligence students. There is a significant positive correlation between systems intelligence and enjoyment of life, and it is also possible to predict enjoyment of life through the dimensions of systems intelligence (systemic thinking, systemic development, systemic perception, and systemic control).
