Summary
The Transcendent Actualization Inventory shows strong temporal stability. This new measure of psychospiritual potential is reliable for research and clinical use.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Psychometrics
- Spirituality Studies
Background:
- Assessing psychospiritual potential is crucial for understanding human flourishing.
- Existing measures may not fully capture the concept of actualization.
- A reliable inventory is needed to quantify psychospiritual growth.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the temporal stability of the Transcendent Actualization Inventory (TAI).
- To establish the psychometric properties of the TAI for measuring psychospiritual potential.
Main Methods:
- The study assessed test-retest reliability of the TAI over two time points.
- Internal consistency was examined using Cronbach's alpha.
Main Results:
- The Transcendent Actualization Inventory demonstrated strong test-retest reliability (r = .84).
- Internal consistency was high, with Cronbach's alpha at .81 at both time points.
Conclusions:
- The TAI is a temporally stable and reliable instrument.
- The inventory is suitable for measuring actualization of psychospiritual potential.
