Scale
items
Data analyses
from two ethnically diverse US adult samples supported two factors
(Psychological Avoidance, PA; Spiritualizing, SP).
PA example:
When I am in pain, I believe God will deliver me from it
SP example:
When someone I know is in trouble, I believe it is because
they have done something wrong spiritually.
Psychometric
properties
Cronbach’salphas: Total scale = .85, PA = .82; Sp = .75.
The total SBS score was associated with the ASPIRES subscales except for
connectedness. PA was associated with depression and SP with stress and anxiety
(DASS-21). The overall SBS score was correlated with five factor traits A and
N. For the scale items and additional data, see Fox et al. (2017).

al., 2017.
