Abstract:
Despite the burgeoning research literature addressing spirituality and its measurements, few instruments have undergone rigorous reliability and validity testing. This study contributed to determining the reliability and validity of the 16- and 6-item Daily Spiritual Experiences Scale (DSES) in a convenience sample of African Americans ages 34-85. Data were collected via self-administered questionnaire including the DSES and sociodemographic variables thought to influence spiritual experiences. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests, ANOVA, inter-class correlation coefficients, Pearson's correlation, and Cronbach's alpha. Both versions were stable over time, internally consistent, and the forms were equivalent and valid in an all-African American sample.
