| Summary: | Spiritual Openness and Spiritual Support subscales of the Spiritual Experience Index were administered to 402 undergraduates along with the Identity Style Inventory, the Intolerance of Ambiguity Scale, and measures of religious interest and religious orientation. Spiritual Openness was associated with lower levels of Identity Commitment, a Normative Identity Style, Intolerance of Ambiguity, an Intrinsic Religious Orientation, and religious interest, and also with higher levels of Quest, a Diffuse/Avoidant Identity Style, and an Extrinsic Orientation. Spiritual Support was associated with higher levels of Identity Commitment, both the Informational and the Normative Identity Styles, Religious Interest, and Intolerance of Ambiguity and with lower levels of Quest and a Diffuse/Avoidant Style. These data once again illustrated the challenges associated with efforts to understand religious maturity in that both Spiritual Openness and Spiritual Support predicted psychological weakness as well as strengths. |
