Abstract

The purpose of the current study was to validate Fetzer Institute & National Institute on Aging Working Group[NIA](1999)'s Brief-Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness/Spirituality Scale (BMMRS) in Korean adults. The Korean version of BMMRS, Spiritual Well-Being Scale(SWS), Korean Sprituality Scale(KSS), Penn State Worry Questionnaire(PSWQ), and Intolerance of uncertainty Scale(IUS) were administered to the 286 students and community samples. A principle axis factoring analysis with direct oblimin rotation and Kaiser normalization identified a six-factor solution accounting for 66.24% of the variance in scores, labeled as: positive spiritual experience, negative spiritual experience, forgiveness, religious practices, negative congregational support, and positive congregational support. Confirmatory factor analysis results showed that 6 factor model of BMMRS have a good fitness. Also, the internal consistency(.64~.97) and the test-retest reliablity was adequate.(.72~.88) Korean version of BMMRS has adequate psychometric characteristics so it can be used to verify the effects of various compassion-related psychotherapeutic approaches.

본 연구는 Fetzer/NIA(1999)에서 개발한 다차원적 종교성/영성 척도-단축형(Brief-Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness/Spirituality Scale; BMMRS)의 신뢰도와 타당도를 평가하기 위해서 실시되었다. 대학생, 대학원생과 종교를 믿는 일반 성인 286명을 대상으로 BMMRS 영적 웰빙척도(Spiritual Well-Being Scale, SWS), 한국판 영성 척도(Korean Sprituality Scale, KSS), 펜실베니아 걱정질문지(Penn State Worry Questionnaire, PSWQ), 불확실성에 대한 인내력 부족 척도(Intolerance of uncertainty Scale, (IUS)를 실시하였다. BMMRS의 요인구조를 주축분해법, 사각 회전으로 분석한 결과, 기존 연구에서 제안되었던 긍정적 영적 경험, 부정적 영적 경험, 용서, 종교활동, 긍정적인 종교지지, 부정적인 종교지지 6요인 구조가 확인되었고 확인적 요인분석 결과 모형 적합도도 만족할 만한 수준이었다. 각 소척도의 내적일관성(.64~.97)과 검사-재검사 신뢰도(.72~.88) 역시 적절하였다. 이 결과는 한국판 BMMRS가 적절한 심리 측정적 지표를 나타내고 있음을 보여주고 있으며, 이에 향후 영성과 종교성 및 정신건강의 관련성 연구에 사용될 수 있음을 시사하였다.
