Over the past 20 years, the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS; Paloutzian \u0026amp; Ellison, 1991), a 20-item self-report inventory designed to assess spiritual, existential, and religious health, has been widely used across a variety of clinical settings to assist with treatment planning. Underlying its use is the belief that spiritual well-being is a core component of psychological health. Unfortunately, to date a dearth of empirical literature exists documenting the tool's reliability and validity within such settings.   This work investigates the psychometric properties of the SWBS using a sample of African American women recruited from the community. The purpose was to determine the appropriateness of using the SWBS with a sample not included in the earlier norming studies (Ledbetter et al., 1991). The results indicated that the SWBS may not be a valid instrument to use with a community sample of African American women and demonstrated the need to develop a more culturally appropriate spiritual well-being instrument. This examination of the SWBS should inform those interested in spirituality and cultural responsiveness and be useful for both clinicians and researchers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783639434576\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Psychometric Properties of the Spiritual Well-Being Scale\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783639434576","offer_id":39489934950493,"sku":"9783639434576","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/27f13b06-8bf4-463c-a917-c30e481b04b0.jpg?v=1758171566","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/spirituality-in-african-american-women-von-mary-dugan","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
