- Abstract
This study examined the relationship between religiousness and spirituality and college adjustment. University students (N = 233) completed The Religiousness Measure (Sethi& Seligman, 1993), Spiritual Well Being Scale (Paloutzian & Ellison, 1982), and Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire (Baker & Siryk, 1984, 1989). Regression results revealed that both religious variables made a significant, unique contribution to college adjustment. Possible explanations for the findings were posited. It was also suggested that mental health professionals could better assist students who struggled with these issues of college adjustment by acknowledging the coexistence of spiritual concerns with mental health problems.
