Manevi Geçiştirme Ölçeği-Brezilya Adaptasyonu: Dinî İnanç, Yaş ve Cinsiyetin Psikolojik Kaçınma ve Manevileştirme Düzeylerini Yordaması

Year 2018, Volume: 3 Issue: 1, 23 - 46, 15.02.2018

Abstract

Bu makalenin amacı, Brezilyalı bir örneklem üzerinde Manevi Geçiştirme Ölçeği-13’ün (SBS-13) geçerlik ve güvenirliğine ilişkin üç çalışmayı sunmak ve tartışmaktır. Bu çalışmaların üç amacı vardır: a) Brezilyalı bir örneklemde SBS-13’ün iki faktörlü çözümünü ortaya çıkarmak; (b) dini eğilimin, yaşın ve cinsiyetin psikolojik kaçınma ve manevileştirme seviyelerini nasıl yordadığını incelemek ve (c) manevi geçiştirme ile depresyon, anksiyete, stres, narsisizm ve yalnızlık tercihini içeren psiko-sosyal değişkenler arasındaki ilişkileri araştırmak. Tüm veriler çevrimiçi bir öz-bildirim anketi kullanılarak toplanmıştır ve anketin doldurulmasına yönelik önkoşullar şunlardır: (a) Brezilya vatandaşlığı, (b) en az 18 yaşında olmak ve (c) din veya maneviyatın bir türüne ilişkin bağlılık. Brezilyalı iki farklı örneklem üzerinde yapılan çalışmalarda (N1 = 193 and N2 = 729) Brezilya Portekizcesi konuşan bireylerde kullanılmak üzere uyarlanan Manevi Geçiştirme Ölçeği- Brezilya Formu’nun kabul edilebilir düzeyde güvenirlik ve geçerlik özelliklerine sahip olduğu kanıtlanmıştır. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi kullanılarak, SBS-13’ün iki faktörlü yapısı, yaş, cinsiyet ve dini eğilimlerin etkileri kontrol edilerek başarıyla doğrulanmıştır. Bu model, SBS’nin Brezilya versiyonunun iki faktörlü yapısını, iyi uyum göstergeleriyle tekrarlamıştır X 2 (49, N = 729) = 190.9, p <. 001; CMIN / df = 3.89; CFI = .95, SRMR = .04, RMSEA = .06. Tüm maddeler, .49 ila .65 arasında değişen katsayılarla iki faktöre yüklenmektedir. Alfa katsayıları iki farklı örneklemde .72 ila .86 arasındadır. Sonuçlar, dini eğilim ve mane-vi geçiştirmenin anlamlı düzeyde bir çok değişkenli etkisi olduğunu göstermektedir. Manevi geçiştirmenin boyutları stres, anksiyete ve depresyondaki varyansları yordamaktadır. Depresyon ve anksiyete için, manevi-leştirme; demografik değişkenler ve üstünlük (narsisizm boyutu) değişkeninden farklı ve bu değişkenlerin üzerinde özgül bir yordayıcı etki katmaktadır.

The Spiritual Bypass Scale-Brazilian Adaptation: How Religious Affiliation, Age, and Gender Can Predict Levels of Psychological Avoidance and Spiritualizing

Year 2018, Volume: 3 Issue: 1, 23 - 46, 15.02.2018

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present and discuss three validation studies of the Spiritual Bypass Scale-13 (SBS-13) on a sample of the Brazilian population. These studies have three purposes (a) to recover the twofactor solution of the SBS-13 among a Brazilian population sample; (b) understand how religious affiliation, age, and gender can predict levels of psychological avoidance and spiritualizing; and (c) explore the relationships between spiritual bypass and psycho-social variables, which include depression, anxiety, stress, narcissism, and preference for solitude. All data have been collected using an online self-report survey, and the pre-requisites for filling out the questionnaire are: (a) Brazilian citizenship, (b) a minimum of 18 years of age, and (c) ascribing to some form of spirituality or religion. Based on two different samples of the Brazilian population (N1 = 193 and N2 = 729) that follow, the studies evidence acceptable reliability and validity of the Spiritual Bypass Scale-Brazilian Translation (SBS-BT) for use in the Brazilian Portuguese-speaking community. Using confirmatory factor analysis, we have successfully replicated a two-factor structure of the SBS-BT while controlling for the effects of age, gender, and religious affiliation. The model replicates the two-factor structure of the Brazilian version of the SBS with indications of good fit: X2 (49, N = 729) = 190.9, p <. 001; CMIN / df = 3.89; CFI = .95, SRMR = .04, RMSEA = .06. All items load onto two factors with coefficients ranging from .49 to .65. Alpha coefficients range from .72 to .86 across the two different samples. Results show a significant multivariate effect for religious affiliation and spiritual bypass. The dimensions of spiritual bypass predict the variances in stress, anxiety, and depression. For depression and anxiety, spiritualizing adds a unique, predictive value over and above the demographic variables and superiority (facet of narcissism).
