Description
Summary:This study explored how patterns of spirituality/religiosity relate to meaning-making among 199 racially diverse young adults (74.5% non-Hispanic Black, 65.1% Christian, and 49% female). Participants completed measures of demographics, spirituality/religiosity, and meaning-making. Latent profile analysis revealed four profiles: “Average Spirituality/Religiosity, Higher Negative Religious Coping Class (AHNR),” “High Religiosity, Mixed Spirituality (HRMS),” “Low Religiosity, Lower Spirituality (LRLS),” and “Highest Spirituality/Religiosity, Lower Negative Religious Coping (HLNRC).” The HLNRC class reported higher meaning-making than the AHNR and HRMS classes. The AHNR and LRLS classes reported higher meaning-making than the HRMS class. Findings highlight the heterogeneity of spirituality/religiosity and relevancy to meaning-making.
