“…The term originates in the Latin word "spiritus" which means breath, a vital principle of a human being (Simpson & Weiner, 1989). Spirituality has been defined as a universal, solely human phenomenon (Emmons, 2006;Piedmont & Leach, 2002;Tomcsányi et al, 2011), as a search for and a belief in something sacred beyond the material world (Emmons, 2006;Hill & Pargament, 2003). Thus, spirituality can be described as a motivational process to discover the transcendent, the divine, the ultimate truth and connect to this larger sacredness (Emmons, 2006;Hill & Pargament, 2003;Piedmont, 1999).…”

“…Although spirituality was originally not discriminated from religiousness, the two concepts are not identical (Emmons, 2006;Tomcsányi et al, 2011). Religion (particularly in the Western culture) is a fellowship based on commonly accepted, unquestionable faith which provides the knowledge of a transcendent reference point, namely God, and shows the path to reach it (Hill & Pargament, 2003;Pikó et al, 2011).…”

“…Their shared aspects are the search for the sacred, and the connection to others and the transcendent which gives an integrative strength for the person. Thus, both can function as a coping resource (Hill & Pargament, 2003;Tomcsányi et al, 2011). Nevertheless, spirituality can appear in both religious and not religious form (namely, traditional or nontraditional form) and is considered a broader concept than religiousness (Oman, 2013;Pikó et al, 2011;Zinnbauer et al, 1997).…”

Background: Spirituality is a human specific phenomenon associated with positive mental and physical health outcomes. From a scientific point of view, it is a complex construct which can be investigated in various ways. The Spiritual Connection Questionnaire (SCQ) measures spirituality independently from religiousness thus it appears to be an appropriate measure to assess religious and non-religious aspects of spirituality. Aim: The present study aimed to develop and validate the Hungarian version of the short form of the Spiritual Connection Questionnaire (SCQ-14). Furthermore, it aimed to investigate spirituality’s association with affect and thinking style. Methods: Participants of two non- representative community samples (n = 387 and n = 145) completed the following questionnaires online: short form of the Spiritual Connection Questionnaire, Spiritual Transcendence Scale, Rational–Experiential Inventory, and Positive and Negative Affect Schedule. Results: The Hungarian SCQ-14 showed an excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.94 and 0.97 on Sample 1 and 2, respectively). Confirmatory factor analyses indicated inappropriate fit with the theoretically assumed one-factor model (χ2 = 435.848, df = 77, p < 0.001; CFI = 0.904; NFI = 0.886; RMSEA = 0.110 [90% CI = 0.100–0.120] on Sample 1, and χ2 = 247.132, df = 77, p < 0.001; CFI = 0.917; NFI = 0.885; RMSEA = 0.123 [90% CI = 0.106–0.141] on Sample 2). In contrast, results of exploratory factor analyses indicated a one-factor structure on both samples. The SCQ-14 was positively associated with spiritual transcendence, experiential thinking style, and partly with positive affect. No significant correlations with rational thinking style and negative affect were found. Results of the multiple hierarchical linear regression analysis on both samples revealed a significant contribution of experiential thinking style and spiritual transcendence to spiritual connection after controlling for gender, age, educational qualification, and positive affect. Conclusions: The Hungarian version of the Spiritual Connection Questionnaire (SCQ-14) is a valid, psychometrically sound measure. Spiritual transcendence and experiential thinking style independently contribute to spiritual connection.Elméleti háttér: A spiritualitás humánspecifikus jelenség, amelynek pozitív hatása a testi és mentális egészségre nézve bizonyított. Tudományos szempontból a spiritualitás meglehetősen összetett fogalom, számos különböző mérőeszközzel vizsgálható. A Spirituális Kapcsolat Kérdőív (Spiritual Connection Questionnaire, SCQ) vallástól függetlenül értékeli a spiritualitás szintjét, így vallásos és nem vallásos személyek körében egyaránt alkalmazható. Cél: Jelen kutatás célja Spirituális Kapcsolat Kérdőív rövid változatának (SCQ-14) magyar nyelvű validálása volt. További cél volt a spiritualitás gondolkozási stílussal és affektivitással való összefüggésének vizsgálata. Módszerek: A kutatás két nem reprezentatív mintából áll (n = 387 és n = 145), amelynek résztvevői a Spirituális Kapcsolat Kérdőív rövid változatát, a Spirituális Transzcendencia Kérdőívet, az Észszerűség–Megérzés Kérdőívet, valamint a Pozitív és Negatív Affektivitás Skálát töltötték ki online formában. Eredmények: Az SCQ-14 magyar változata kiváló belső konzisztenciát (Cronbach-α = 0,94 az első, és 0,97 a második mintán) jelzett. A konfirmatív faktoranalízis nem mutatott megfelelő illeszkedést az eredeti egyfaktoros modellhez képest (χ2 = 435,848, df = 77, p < 0,001; CFI = 0,904; NFI = 0,886; RMSEA = 0,110 [90% CI = 0,100– 0,120] az első mintán, és χ2 = 247,132, df = 77, p < 0,001; CFI = 0,917; NFI = 0,885; RMSEA = 0,123 [90% CI = 0,106–0,141] a második mintán). Ezzel szemben a feltáró faktoranalízis eredménye egyfaktoros modellt mutatott mindkét minta esetén. Az SCQ-14 továbbá pozitív irányú összefüggést mutatott a spirituális transzcendenciával, a tapasztalati gondolkodási stílussal, valamint részben a pozitív affektivitással is. A spirituális kapcsolat és negatív affektivitás, valamint a racionális gondolkodási stílus között nem jelentkezett szignifikáns korreláció. A mindkét mintán lefuttatott többszörös hierarchikus lineáris regresszió eredményei szerint a tapasztalati gondolkodás és a spirituális transzcendencia a nem, a kor, az iskolai végzettség és a pozitív affektivitás kontrollálása után is szignifikáns kapcsolatban maradt a spirituális kapcsolat pontszámmal. Következtetések: A Spirituális Kapcsolat Kérdőív rövid változatának magyar verziója valid, jó pszichometriai mutatókkal bíró mérőeszköz. A spirituális transzcendencia és a tapasztalati gondolkodás egymástól függetlenül is hozzájárulnak a spirituális kapcsolathoz.

“…The fundamental importance of spirituality in yoga is widely accepted and emphasized ( Iyengar, 1991 ; Baktay, 1992 ; Büssing et al, 2012a ). Spirituality has been defined as a universal, innate, human-specific phenomenon – a belief in and search for something sacred beyond the material world ( Piedmont and Leach, 2002 ; Hill and Pargament, 2003 ; Emmons, 2006 ; Tomcsányi et al, 2011 ). Although extensive literature indicates that spirituality is highly relevant to human functioning and health ( Bergin, 1997 ; MacDonald, 2013 ), only a few empirical studies have investigated the contribution of spirituality to the positive effects of yoga practice to date ( Büssing et al, 2012a ; MacDonald, 2013 ).…”

Verbal Cuing Is Not the Path to Enlightenment. Psychological Effects of a 10-Session Hatha Yoga Practice

et al. 2020

Verbal instructions provided during yoga classes can differ substantially. Yoga instructors might choose to focus on the physical aspects of yoga (e.g., by emphasizing the characteristics of the poses), or they might take a more spiritual approach (e.g., by mentioning energy flow and chakras). The present study investigated the effects of verbal cues during yoga practice on various psychological measures. Eightyfour female students (22.0 ± 3.80 years) participated in the study. Two groups attended a beginner level hatha yoga course in which physically identical exercise was accompanied by different verbal cues. The so-called "Sport group" (N = 27) received instructions referring primarily to the physical aspects of yoga practice, while the "Spiritual group" (N = 23) was additionally provided with philosophical and spiritual information. A control group (N = 34) did not receive any intervention. Mindfulness, body awareness, spirituality, and affect were assessed 1 week before and after the training. 2 × 3 mixed (time × intervention) ANOVAs did not show an interaction effect for any of the variables. However, when the two yoga groups were merged and compared to the control group, we found that spirituality increased, and negative affect decreased among yoga participants. In conclusion, yoga practice might influence psychological functioning through its physical components, independent of the style of verbal instructions provided.

“…Although there are common areas in spirituality (including meaning in life and purpose in life) and religiosity in psychology religion and spirituality are clearly different processes, both consisting of complex, interpersonal, behavioral, cognitive, emotional, and physiological elements (Hill & Pargament, 2008). Multidimensional statistical analysis also confi rms that spirituality is a distinct domain of human experience (Tomcsányi et al, 2011). Muldoon & King (1995) defi ned spirituality as "the way in which people understand and live their lives in view of their ultimate meaning and value" (p. 336).…”

In this study the spiritual attitudes (faith, purpose in life and place in life) of 28 Hungarian breast cancer patients and 28 healthy women were compared. The qualitative analysis of the structured interviews indicates that while healthy women have a general framework of belief, not playing an important role in everyday life, breast cancer patients perceive religion as an active aid affecting everyday life. No signifi cant differences were found between the groups concerning purpose in life, place in life, perceived control and sharing thoughts about spirituality with others. The fi ndings of this study contribute to a better understanding of breast cancer patients' psycho-social needs.Keywords: spirituality  faith  purpose in life  meaning of life  breast cancer, structured interview
