Abstract(s)
A espiritualidade e a religiosidade são cada vez mais alvo de investigação e frequentemente associadas ao bem-estar no ser humano. O bem-estar pode ser estudado sob duas perspetivas, hedónica e eudaimónica. Atualmente surge um novo conceito, o de florescimento, que abrange estas duas concepções de bem-estar.
O conceito transcendência espiritual (Piedmont, 1999) surge da relação entre a espiritualidade e religiosidade, e sugere a integração de indicadores de bem-estar. O objectivo do nosso estudo é verificar a relação existente entre a transcendência espiritual e o florescimento psicológico.
Este estudo relacionou através de uma regressão linear múltipla a Transcendência Espiritual com as dimensões do Florescimento. Para tal, contou com uma amostra de 206 sujeitos adultos portugueses, dos quais 72 (35%) pertencem ao sexo masculino e 134 (65%) pertencem ao sexo feminino, com idades compreendidas entre os 19 e os 70 anos (M= 42.53, DP= 13.3).
Os instrumentos utilizados foram a Spiritual Transcendece Scale (STS; Piedmont, 1999; Góis e Gouveia, 2014) que mede as três dimensões (Universalidade; Satisfação pela Oração ou Meditação e Conectividade/ Ligação) da transcendência espiritual e o PERMA- Profiler (Butler e Kern, 2014) que mede cinco pilares do bem-estar sugeridos por Seligman (2011) (emoção positiva, envolvimento, relações positivas, significado e realização) e contempla oito dimensões. De um modo geral os resultados indicaram que as dimensões Conectividade/ Ligação e Satisfação pela Oração são as dimensões com maior relação positiva com os indicadores de florescimento.
A reduzida dimensão da amostra, a sua pouca heterogeneidade e os enviesamentos da recolha online não permitem a generalização destes resultados.
ABSTRACT: Spirituality and religiousness are increasingly targets of investigation and often associated to human being wellness. Wellbeing can be studied on two perspectives, hedonic and eudemonic. Nowadays there is a new concept, the flourishing, witch encloses this two conceptions of wellbeing. The concept of spiritually transcendence (Piedmont, 1999) is the result of the relation between spirituality and religiousness, and suggests predictive indicators of wellbeing. The intent of our study is to verify the existent relation between spiritual transcendence and flourishing. This study related by multiple linear regression the spiritual transcendence with the dimensions of flowering. For that, the study focused in a sample of 206 portuguese adult subjects, witch 72 (35%) were male and 134 (65%) female, aged between 19 and 70 years (M = 42.53 , SD = 13.3). The instruments used were the Spiritual Transcendence Scale (STS; Piedmont, 1999; Gois and Gouveia, 2014) which measures three dimensions (Universality; Prayer Fulfillment and Connectedness) of spiritual transcendence and the PERMA Profiler (Butler and Kern, 2014) that measures five pillars of wellness suggested by Seligman (2011) (positive emotion, engagement, positive relationships, meaning and accomplishment) and includes eight dimensions. Overall results indicated that the dimensions Connectedness and Prayer Fulfillment are the major predictors of individual flourishing indicators. The reduced size of the ample, its lack heterogeneity and bias of the online collection limit the generalization of these results.
