Niyama is one of the eight limbs of ancient Indian Ashtanga yoga philosophy.

Both deductive (using existing spiritual well-being scales) and inductive (focus group discussions) approaches were used to generate items.

The psychometric properties of generated items were analyzed with the help of three independent studies that utilized various statistical tests like exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), Cronbach's alpha, McDonald Omega, Average variance explained, and Fornell and Larcker criterion. The first study examined the factorial structure of the proposed scale. EFA yielded five factors: Internal and external health and purity, Self-discipline and rigour, Self-introspection and observation, Contentment and gratitude, and Belief in God and higher cosmic power. They explained 62.35% of the total variance. The CFA validated the five factorial structure of the scale.

The aim of this study is to describe characteristics, prayer practice, religiosity and piety of those practicing the prayer and to investigate whether and how religion/spirituality (R/S) and well-being are related in this specific population. An online cross-sectional survey was performed between June and September 2022 which included items on sociodemographic data, prayer practice, well-being, religiosity and spirituality, transpersonal trust and spiritual meaning. Results were described descriptively, and a possible relationship between R/S and well-being was examined using correlational and moderator analyses. In total, 164 participants who pray the Rosary completed the online questionnaire. A total of 92% of the participants belonged to the Roman Catholic Church, and 61% of the sample were women. A majority of participants reported to be very religious/spiritual (36%) or quite religious/spiritual (47%). Most participants experienced the prayer as a calming and relaxing practice, which slows down the breathing and the awareness in the prayer being focused on the prayer beads. Most of the participants expressed a high-to-very high transpersonal trust. All R/S measures used in this study are highly intercorrelated (r between 0.64 and 0.91) and show similar small-size associations (r between 0.10 and 0.20) with well-being. Moderator analysis shows that the connection between R/S and well-being was stronger among those with more positive prayer experiences. Subjectively perceived positive prayer experiences may act as an amplifier or emotional affirmation of the \"rightness\" or \"effectiveness\" of one's faith and this very amplification may have a strengthening effect on the relationship between R/S and well-being.
