Abstract

Research on spirituality has increased considerably in the last decade. This study analyzes the psychometric properties of the Daily Spiritual Experience Scale (DSES) in a Peruvian sample. The study had a cross-sectional design. The population was Peruvian adults with ages ranging between 18 and 70 years (M = 30.60, SD = 11.22) recruited through nonprobabilistic sampling. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed. Internal consistency was assessed by Cronbach’s alpha (α), McDonalds’ omega (ω), and H-coefficient (H). The structure of 16 items was not confirmed. A 13-item DSES unidimensional model was suggested (χ2 = 184.78, df = 65; confirmatory fit index [CFI] = 0.92, Tucker–Lewis index [TLI] = 0.91, root mean square error of approximation [RMSEA] = 0.08, standardized root mean square residuals [SRMR] = 0.04) and the DSES-6 model (χ2 = 9.570, df = 9; CFI = 1.00, TLI = 1.00, RMSEA = 0.02, SRMR = 0.02) and its reliability had excellent values. Concurrent validity with measures of anxiety and depression were evidenced. The DSES-13 and DSES-6 versions are valid and reliable instruments to evaluate spiritual experiences in the Peruvian context.

秘鲁成年人精神体验测量的心理测量学分析

在过去的十年里，关于灵性的研究有了相当大的增长。本研究分析了秘鲁样本的每日精神体验量表(DSES)的心理测量特性。该研究采用横断面设计。人群为年龄在18 - 70岁之间的秘鲁成年人(M = 30.60, SD = 11.22)，通过非概率抽样招募。进行验证性因子分析(CFA)。内部一致性采用Cronbach’s alpha (α)、McDonalds’s omega (ω)和H系数(H)进行评估。16个项目的结构不确定。建议采用13项DSES单维模型(χ2 = 184.78, df = 65;验证性拟合指数[CFI] = 0.92, Tucker-Lewis指数[TLI] = 0.91，近似均方根误差[RMSEA] = 0.08，标准化均方根残差[SRMR] = 0.04)和DSES-6模型(χ2 = 9.570, df = 9;CFI = 1.00, TLI = 1.00, RMSEA = 0.02, SRMR = 0.02)，信度极好。同时效度与焦虑和抑郁的措施被证明。DSES-13和DSES-6版本是评估秘鲁背景下精神体验的有效和可靠的工具。
