Abstract

Eisenmann et al. developed a system consisting of forty-four categories to code the definitions of spirituality in samples from the USA and Germany. We tested this category system in a sample of seculars in Switzerland. All original categories were applicable to the individual understandings of spirituality in our sample. Only two additional categories of marginal relevance were formed. This result confirms the validity of the category system. Furthermore, the German and the Swiss samples both stress an understanding of spirituality as transcending without emphasizing transcendence. This concept should be used to construct spirituality scales for quantitative studies.

什么是世俗理解的“精神”?艾森曼等人的精神语义学的再现

艾森曼等人开发了一个由44个类别组成的系统，对来自美国和德国的样本中的灵性定义进行编码。我们在瑞士的一个世俗的样本中测试了这个分类系统。所有最初的分类都适用于我们样本中对灵性的个人理解。只形成了两个额外的边缘相关性类别。这一结果证实了分类系统的有效性。此外，德国和瑞士的样本都强调对灵性的理解是超越的，而不是强调超越。这一概念应用于构建定量研究的灵性量表。

期刊介绍： The peer-reviewed Journal of Religion in Europe (JRE) provides a forum for multi-disciplinary research into the complex dynamics of religious discourses and practices in Europe, both historically and contemporary. The Journal’s underlying idea is that religion in Europe is characterized by a variety of pluralisms. There is a pluralism of religious communities that actively engage with one another; there exists a pluralism of societal systems, such as nation, law, politics, economy, science, and art, all of them interacting with religious systems; finally, in a pluralism of scholarly discourses religious studies, legal studies, history, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, and psychology are addressing the religious dynamics involved.
