Abstract(s)
This study aims to adapt and validate the Religious and Spiritual Struggles Scale
for the Portuguese population. The sample consisted of 732 participants with vari‑
ous religious afliations. The exploratory factor analysis showed that it consists
of six dimensions, similar to the initial instrument. A KMO of 0.91 was obtained.
The confrmatory factor analysis confrmed the existence of six factors and showed
adequate ft indices. Internal consistency and construct reliability were above 0.70.
The analysis of the psychometric qualities of this instrument indicates that it can be
applied to the Portuguese population and is a valuable instrument for psychothera‑
peutic practice and studies in the psychology of religion and spirituality.
