Assessment
name: Spiritual Assessment Inventory
Scale
overview: The Spiritual Assessment Inventory (SAI-2002)
is a 48-item self-report measure of spiritual development (Hall & Edwards,
1996, 2002): Awareness of God and Quality of Relationship with God.
Authors: Hall & Edwards
Response
Type: . Respondents rate each item on a five-point scale of
personal truth (1= not at all true, 2 = slightly true, 3 = moderately true, 4 =
substantially true, and 5 = very true).
Scales
The authors
examined a large pool of items in several studies and identified the best items
that measured the following five factors. The items are included in the 2002
reference.
Awareness of God (A)
Disappointment in
Relationship with God (D)
Realistic Acceptance
of God (R)
Grandiosity in
Relationship with God (G
Instability in
Relationship with God (I)
Psychometric
properties
The authors provide evidence for internal consistency, test-retest reliability, construct validity, including concurrent validity.
For example, there are significant correlations between each SAI subscale and spiritual wellbeing (SWBS). SAI subscales also significantly correlate with religious orientation: Intrinsic with all but G, Extrinsic social with all but I and Extrinsic personal with all but R. The authors also examined the relationship of the SAI with narcissistic personality (NPI).
The
SAI grandiosity subscale was significantly correlated with all three subscales
of the NPI.
Availability: For details on the scale factors and psychometric properties along with
a copy of the items, instructions and scoring, see Hall and Edwards (2002).
Note, I have used the year 2002 to clarify the version discussed here.
