| Popis | The aim of this research is to explore the relationships between spiritual intelligence and personality dimensions of Big Five. The King´s concept of spiritual intelligence consists of four dimensions: CET Critical existential thinking, PMP Personal meaning production, TA Transcendental awareness, and CSE Conscious state expansion. The sample consisted of 65 Czech practicing Catholics (52% males, 48% females, aged 22 to 72 years). The difference between practicing Catholics and comparison group of people without strong membership in any religious group (N = 33, 52% males, 48% females, aged 18 to 52 years) in spiritual intelligence and personal traits were compared. The spiritual intelligence was measured by King´s SISRI-24 scale, and personal traits were measured by NEO-PI-III scale. The results of analysis have shown that practicing Catholics scored higher on the scale agreeableness (p = .01) and in dimensions PMP (p = .03) and TA (p = .01) than the comparison group. The strongest statistically significant correlation at p < 0.01was found between agreeableness and PMP (r = 0.38) and between subscale altruism and PMP (r = 0.48) by practicing Catholics. The linear regression analysis revealed that agreeableness was a significant predictor of overall spiritual intelligence (beta = 0.30; p < .05). Neuroticism, agreeableness, and conscientiousness predicted dimensions CET, PMP, and TA. |
