Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Personality Psychology
  • Spiritual Well-being Research

Background:

  • Spiritual well-being is increasingly recognized as a significant factor in psychological health.
  • Understanding the relationship between spiritual well-being and personality can offer insights into individual differences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate whether individuals with high spiritual well-being differ in personality profiles compared to those with low spiritual well-being.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Revised NEO Personality Inventory and the Spiritual Well-being Scale.
  • Analyzed data from 319 psychology undergraduates (132 men, 187 women).
  • Employed univariate and multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVA).

Main Results:

  • The High Spiritual Well-being group scored significantly lower on Neuroticism.
  • The High Spiritual Well-being group scored significantly higher on Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness.
  • Multivariate analysis confirmed significantly different personality profiles between the High and Low Spiritual Well-being groups.

Conclusions:

  • The findings support the hypothesis that spiritual well-being is associated with specific personality profiles.
  • Individuals with higher spiritual well-being tend to possess more adaptive personality traits, characterized by lower neuroticism and higher extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness.
