Spirituality and Voluntary Sexual Activity.“ Journal of Adolescent Health vol. 26, pp. 295-
302.
Abstract: Described the spectrum of adolescent spirituality and determined the association
between dimensions of spirituality and voluntary sexual activity (VSA) in
adolescents. Ss were 141 11-25 yr. olds who completed a 153-item
instrument assessing socio-demographics, psychosocial parameters, and 8
specific aspects of spirituality including: (1) religious attendance, (2) religious
importance, (3) intrinsic and (4) extrinsic religious motivation, (5) belief in
God, (6) belief in divine support, (7) existential aspects of spirituality, and (8)
spiritual interconnectedness. Adolescents were also asked about VSA.
Adolescent religious attendance was equally distributed across the categories
from "none" to "weekly or greater" attendance. Over 90% felt religion was
somewhat important in their lives. Over 85% reported belief in God. 56%
percent of respondents reported a history of VSA. Greater importance of
religion and higher spiritual interconnectedness with friends were inversely
associated with VSA. A multiple logistic regression model including age,
gender, race, socioeconomic status, and specific denomination of religious
faith, importance of religion, and spiritual interconnectedness found that
spiritual interconnectedness with friends and age were independent
predictors of VSA. [Source: PI]

 A Study on the Youth’s Spirituality
Massey, Steven Duane. 1999. "A Study of the Relationship between Resilience and Spirituality among High Risk
Youth." Ed.D. Thesis, University of Minnesota.
Abstract: This study explored the relationship between resilience and spirituality among at-risk students attending
three urban alternative high schools. Resilience was defined according to three domains: academic
competence, social competence, and behavioral competence. Three means of measurement were used to
assess these resilience domains. The first was a set of two rating systems completed by students—The
Social Skills Rating System (Gresham & Elliott, 1990) and the Self- Perception Profile for Adolescents
(Harter, 1988). The second was a set of teacher ratings of students on the same resilience domains using
the same instruments. The third was students' attendance records and California Achievement Test
scores for the purpose of measuring academic performance only. Spirituality was defined as a positive
sense of life purpose, a sense of one's life meaning, and a sense of hope for one's future. Spirituality was
measured by the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (Palautzian & Ellison, 1991) and the Purpose in Life scale
(Crumbaugh & Maholick, 1964). One hundred and thirty-nine students participated in this study and
provided self-report information regarding their exposure to or experience of at-risk variables.
Additionally, teachers rated students on the same resilience domains using the teacher portion of the
same at-risk survey instrument. Quantitative data analysis was used to analyze and study the
relationship between resilience and spirituality. Students' perception of their academic, social, and
behavioral competence was found to be associated with spirituality. No relationships were found
between belonging to a religious community and spirituality, and only a minimal relationship was
found between being religious and spirituality. African American students appeared to be more spiritual
than White American students. The relationship between resilience and spirituality was evident in a
regression analysis where the competence variables served as the dependent variable and spirituality
served as the independent variable and in a regression analysis where spirituality served as the
dependent variable and the competence variables served as the independent variable. This study is the
first to quantify the link between resilience and spirituality. These findings have important implications
related to teacher training and professional development, school organizational structure, and
pedagogy. [Source: DA]

Meaning of
Spirituality
 Meaning of Spirituality

Fr. F. Antonisamy (Licentiate in Sacred Theology in

Rome, and Master’s Degree in Philosophy in
India):
• Etymology: [Latin] spiritualitas, which
means the state or nature of being
spiritual
• Being spiritual or to be spiritual means
to be related to the human spirit or the
soul which is intangible or to God who
is Spirit (incarnate)
 Meaning of Spirituality

Fr. F. Antonisamy (Licentiate in Sacred Theology in

Rome, and Master’s Degree in Philosophy in
India):
• Spirituality can also express the state
of being perfect [or holy] as God is as
well
• Can also refer to the attitude of the
mind towards the ethical or moral
codes or standards or values or the
norms observed in society for the sake
of the common good
 Meaning of Spirituality

Spirituality, therefore, can be

applied to any person who believes:
• In the existence of the humans
spirit or the soul
• In the existence of God or the Holy
Spirit
• In the ethical or moral values
 Meaning of Spirituality

J. Aumann, O.P.:
“In its wildest sense, spirituality refers to any
religious or ethical value that is concretized
as an attitude or spirit from which one’s
actions flow. This concept of spirituality is
not restricted to any particular religion; it
applies to any person who has belief in the
divine or transcendent, and fashions lifestyle
according to one’s religious convictions. In
this context, one can speak of Zen, Buddhist,
Jewish, and Muslim spirituality as well as
Christina spirituality.”

 Nature of Spirituality

E.E. Larkin (2003) :

“There are schools of spirituality
that systematize a particular
synthesis. But even within the
schools there will be the splendor
of variety, because ultimately
spirituality is a personalized and
particularized relationship.”
