The development of an online intellectual humility intervention for religious or spiritual conflict

Interpersonal religious/spiritual (R/S) conflicts are relatively common and have serious mental health implications. Recent theories suggest that intellectual humility might mitigate R/S conflict and ameliorate negative outcomes. This paper delineates the development and implementation of Grounded to Grow, an asynchronous online intervention designed to help individuals navigate R/S conflicts and to minimize associated psychological distress. This paper outlines the theoretical framework used to create the intervention, describes the intervention, and highlights the planned methods for examining the effectiveness of the intervention. Grounded to Grow is appropriate for religious, spiritual, non-religious, and non-spiritual individuals. This secular, yet spiritually-sensitive approach to addressing R/S conflicts offers inclusive and personalized support, with the potential to enhance well-being across psychological, social, and spiritual domains.
