Complicating Universal Definitions: How Students of Diverse Worldviews Make Meaning of Spirituality
Rockenbach, Alyssa N.; Mayhew, Matthew J.; Davidson, Jenica; Ofstein, Jennie; Bush, Renee Clark
Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, v52 n1 p1-10 2015
This study employed qualitative content analysis to examine the written responses of 1,071 college students to the open-ended survey question, "What does spirituality mean to you?" Connectivity is core to the way many students depict spirituality and is inherently multidimensional, as students emphasize both "external/transcendent" and "internal/immanent" spiritual connections in life. Pathways to spiritual connectivity are distinctive across worldview, with faith, belief, religiosity, and equanimity playing major or minor roles, depending on the student's worldview.
