| Summary: | The purpose of this report was to examine the psychometric properties of the Assessment of Spirituality and Religious Sentiments (ASPIRES) scale self and observer version short forms. Samples of college undergraduates (229 women and 80 men) and community-based adults (249 women and 123 men) were included in this study. Results showed that the short forms were reliable, structurally valid, and possessed significant overlap with their long form parents. The results showed significant cross-observer convergence, providing evidence of discriminant validity. Scores on the short forms correlated significantly with a wide array of psychosocial outcomes, even after controlling for the predictive effects of personality. It was concluded that users can be confident that the short form versions validly represent the spiritual and religious constructs present in their parent versions. |
