The Daily Spiritual Experiences Scale (DSES; Underwood & Teresi, 2002) has been used in hundreds of investigations to study the role of everyday spiritual experiences in the lives of the Not Religious nor Spiritual (NRS), Spiritual but Not Religious (SNR), and Religious and Spiritual (RS). However, there is a lack of measurement equivalence/invariance (ME/I) evidence to support the use of the DSES to compare these three groups. The present study (N = 1623 U.S. adults) sought to (a) identify the most appropriate factor structure for the DSES within samples of NRS, SNR, and RS persons, (b) examine the ME/I of the DSES factor(s) across the three groups, and (c) investigate the relationship between the DSES and common measures of wellbeing (e.g., meaning in life, satisfaction with life, physical health, and mental health). Our results indicate that the DSES measured the same two independent daily spiritual experience constructs when used with SNR and RS participants, but a different array of inadequatelydefined daily spiritual experience constructs among the NRS participants. This raises questions about the utility of using the DSES with NRS samples, and provides evidence that the DSES conforms to a bifactor, rather than unidimensional, structure among SNR and RS participants. Lastly, our findings paint a complex picture of the relationship between daily spiritual experiences and well-being across these three groups, such that daily spiritual experiences are not always associated with enhanced well-being. Implications for research and practice use, scoring, and interpretation of the DSES across these three groups is discussed.

非宗教、精神和宗教之间的日常精神体验和福祉:双因素分析。

每日精神体验量表 (DSES; Underwood & Teresi, 2002) 已被用于数百项调查,以研究日常精神体验在非宗教或精神 (NRS)、精神但非宗教 (SNR)、和宗教和精神 (RS)。然而,缺乏测量等效性/不变性 (ME/I) 证据来支持使用 DSES 来比较这三组。本研究(N = 1623 美国成年人)试图 (a) 在 NRS、SNR 和 RS 人的样本中为 DSES 确定最合适的因子结构,(b) 检查 DSES 因子的 ME/I在三个组中,以及 (c) 调查 DSES 与幸福的常见衡量标准(例如,生活意义、生活满意度、身体健康和心理健康)之间的关系。我们的结果表明,当与 SNR 和 RS 参与者一起使用时,DSES 测量了相同的两个独立的日常精神体验结构,但在 NRS 参与者中测量了一组不同的未充分定义的日常精神体验结构。这引发了关于将 DSES 与 NRS 样本一起使用的效用的问题,并提供了 DSES 符合 SNR 和 RS 参与者之间的双因素而非单维结构的证据。最后,我们的研究结果描绘了这三个群体的日常精神体验与幸福感之间关系的复杂图景,因此日常精神体验并不总是与增强的幸福感相关联。讨论了这三个组对 DSES 的研究和实践使用、评分和解释的影响。
