attempts to measure how individuals define the terms religiousness andspirituality,to measure how individuals define their own religiousness and spirituality,and to examinewhether these definitions are associated with different demographic,religio/spiritual,and psychosocialvariables.The complete sample of 346 individuals was composed of 11 groups of participants drawn from awide range of religious backgrounds.Analyses were conducted to compare participants'self-rated religiousness and spirituality,to correlate self-rated religiousness and spirituality with the predictor variables,and to use the predictor variables to distinguish between participants who described themselves as“spiritual and religious”from those who identified themselves as “spiritual but not religious.”A contentanalysis of participants'definitions of religiousness and spirituality was also performed.The results suggest several points of convergence and divergence between the constructs religiousness and spirituality.The theoretical,empirical,and practical implications of these results for the scientific study of religion arediscussed.  \nT         90  \nLn the past 20 years,interest in religiousness and spirituality has increased,and a largenumber of social scientists have attempted to define,study,and theorize about these twoterms(e.g.,Ingersoll 1994;Shafranske and Gorsuch 1984;Spilka 1993;Turner,et.al 1995).Still,the ways in which the words are conceptualized and used are often inconsistent in theresearch literature.Despite the great volume of work that has been done,little consensushas been reached about what the terms actually mean.In particular,the term spiritualityhas as times been used so loosely that one researcher has called it a “\"fuzzy\"concept that“embraces obscurity with passion”(Spilka 1993:1).Not surprisingly,spirituality has beendescribed recently as an obscure construct in need of empirical grounding and operation-alization(Hood et al.1996;Spilka 1993;Spilka and McIntosh 1996).  \nCurrent conceptions of religiousness and spiritualit","cbCaiuLkqC6daFxJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuLkqC6daFxJ","pdf",2415898,17,"English","#
