Relationship between religious commitment and spiritual personality among adults

In recent years interest in religion and spirituality has increased considerably within psychology. The main objectives of the present study were to examine the relationship between religious commitment and spiritual personality among Hindu, Muslim, male and female students. Religious Commitment Inventory (RCI) and Spiritual Personality Inventory (SPI) were administered to 200 participants with equal number of Muslims (n=100), Hindus (n=100), males (n=100) and females (n=100) in each group. The mean age of participants was 25.5 years. Significant positive relationships were found between the scores obtained on RCI and SPI among male (r= 0.440, p<.01) and among female adults (r= 0.502, p<.01). Significant positive relationships were also found between the scores obtained on RCI and SPI among Hindus (r=.404, p<.01) and Muslims (r=.526. p<.01).
