Validation of the Spiritual Involvement and Beliefs Scale in a College Student Sample

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Spiritual Involvement and Beliefs Scale among college students. A total of 243 undergraduate and graduate students participated in this study from a southeastern public research one university in the United States. The scale yields good psychometric results in terms of internal consistency, split-half reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity. We discussed the scale’s potential role of serving as an initial assessment tool for spiritually related issues within the college student population.
