Participants were between the ages of 14-17 and the mean age is is 15.80. In the study, “Human Values Scale”, “Spiritual Well-Being Scale” and “Perceived Social Support Scale” were used. Data were analized using structural equation model with AMOS 19 software. According to the findings obtained from the research; the values that adolescents owned directly predicted spiritual well-being.
