The project “Empirical Associations of Spirituality and Resilience” is submitted as sub-project of the DFG research group “Resilience in Religion and Spirituality. Endurance and the Formation of Powerlessness, Fear and Anxiety” which is submit-ted in charge by Prof. Dr. Cornelia Richter (Bonn). It is the aim of the subproject to empirically investigate the mutual associations between distinct facets of resilience and spirituality among a sample of N = 300 bereaved who shall be surveyed twice with a comprehensive questionnaire during the project. Additionally a selected subsample of n = 30 persons shall be assessed with a detailed interview between the two surveys in order to better understand the specific backgrounds of potential facets of resilience and spirituality.Concerning their associations with well-being both resilience and spirituality are reflected diversely in current discourses and, hence, heterogeneously conceptualized: While resilience is understood in terms of a trait or ability, an adaptation process during coping with a crisis, or a positive outcome of the crisis depending on the diverse perspectives, spirituality is regarded as personality disposition, as coping resource or strategy as well as a dimension of well-being (“spiritual well-being”). So far these differing facets of resilience and spirituality have never systematically been studied empirically. Hence, resilience and spirituality shall be differentially assessed quantitatively with a number of standardized psychometric scales and qualitatively with an adaptation of the Faith Development Interview (FDI) in the submitted project in order to investigate how the empirical associations between spirituality—understood and assessed in terms of experiences of (M-Scale) and beliefs about transcendence (TPV-rev), of a resource and form of coping (COPE), and of a dimension of well-being (PTGI – Spirituality) in their specific biographic contexts (FDI)—and resilience—understood and assessed in terms of a trait (Brief Resilience Scale, Resilienzskala) or personality pattern (BFI-K), of a process of dealing with burden (COPE), and of their effects on well-being (Ryff-Scale)—look like. As results it can be expected that it will be possible to differentially and validly map the roles of resilience and spirituality and the mutual associations of their facets in the process of coping with grief, to understand both phenomena in their characteristic biographical contexts and in their associations to well-being, and, hence, to essentially contribute to the development of an interdisciplinary theory of resilience which is sensitive for spirituality.

“灵性和韧性的经验关联”项目是DFG研究小组“宗教和灵性的弹性”的子项目。耐力和无能为力、恐惧和焦虑的形成“，这是由Cornelia Richter教授(波恩)负责的。该分项目的目的是对N=300名丧失亲人的人进行两次全面问卷调查，对他们的复原力和灵性的不同方面之间的相互联系进行实证调查。此外，还将在两次调查之间对选定的n=30人进行详细的访谈，以更好地了解复原力和灵性潜在方面的具体背景。认识到它们与幸福感的联系在当前的话语中反映得不同，因此被不同地概念化：复原力被理解为一种特质或能力、应对危机的适应过程或危机的积极结果，取决于不同的视角，灵性被视为人格倾向、应对资源或策略以及幸福感的一个维度(“精神幸福感”)。到目前为止，人们从未对韧性和灵性的这些不同方面进行过系统的实证研究。因此，在提交的项目中，应使用一些标准化的心理测量量表对复原力和灵性进行不同的定量评估，并根据信仰发展访谈(FDI)进行定性评估，以调查如何根据(M-Scale)和关于超越的信念(TPV-rev)、资源和应对形式(COPE)以及特定传记背景(FDI)中的幸福维度(PTGI-精神性)--和弹性-根据特征(简要复原力量表、Resilienzskala)或人格模式(BFI-K)理解和评估灵性之间的经验联系，处理负担的过程(COPE)及其对幸福感的影响(Ryff-Scale)--看起来像是。因此，可以预期，将有可能以不同和有效的方式绘制复原力和灵性的作用及其各方面在应对悲伤过程中的相互联系，理解这两种现象在其特有的传记背景和与幸福的联系中的现象，从而从根本上促进对灵性敏感的复原力跨学科理论的发展。
