Resumen
SIMKIN, Hugo. Translate into Spanish of the Assessment of Spirituality and Religious Sentiments scale (ASPIRES): Spiritual Transcendence within the five-factor model. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2017, vol.16, n.2, pp.267-278. ISSN 1657-9267. https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.upsy16-2.aeee.
One of the problems with the psychological measurement of religion and spirituality is that most scales reflect only Christian and Western religious orientations. The aim of this study is to adapt the Assessment of Spirituality and Religious Sentiments scale (ASPIRES), developed by Piedmont (2004a), for spanish speaking populations in order to respond to these problems in an incidental, non probabilistic sample composed of university students from the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (N = 336). Confirmatory factor analysis indicates that the model proposed by the author provides a good fit to the data, so its use is recommended in the local context. It is suggested that future studies explore psychometric properties of ASPIRES in different populations (e. g. religious), so as to contribute to the spread and representativeness of the results of this study. At the same time, it is observed that spirituality is ought to be considered a potential sixth major dimension of personality.
