Abstract

ABSTRACT This study describes the developing and testing of a measure of spiritual health accessible to 8- to 11-year-old students that is consistent with the four-domain model as operationalised by Fisher’s family of measures, but avoids explicit religious or theistic content. Data generated by 4,803 students in Wales confirm the rotated four-factor structure of the new 12-item measure and also the coherence of employing the total scale score as a unidimensional measure of global spiritual health (α = .90). After taking personal factors and psychological factors into account, regression analysis demonstrated that religious affect contributed additional power to predicting higher spiritual health scores on this new measure that was not itself contaminated by explicit religious or theistic content. This instrument is commended as providing a sound foundation for assessing the spiritual health of primary school students within a variety of religious and non-religious schools.

介绍初级精神健康量表（JSHS）：评估宗教影响对8-11岁学生精神健康的影响

摘要本研究描述了一种8至11岁学生可获得的精神健康测量方法的开发和测试，该方法与Fisher测量方法家族实施的四领域模型一致，但避免了明确的宗教或有神论内容。由4803名威尔士学生生成的数据证实了新的12项测量的旋转四因素结构，以及将总分作为全球精神健康的一维测量的一致性（α=0.90）。在考虑个人因素和心理因素后，回归分析表明，宗教影响在预测这一新指标的更高精神健康分数方面发挥了额外的作用，而这一指标本身并没有受到明确的宗教或有神论内容的污染。该文书被称赞为评估各种宗教和非宗教学校的小学生的精神健康状况提供了坚实的基础。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
