Integral Transpersonal Journal June 1, 2023 Xavier Bronlet, Pier Luigi Lattuada
Spiritual representations are necessary for spiritual experiences to significantly affect behavior, according to an analysis of questionnaire responses from 216 participants. The study developed an initial model of spiritual experience using Grounded Theory, then refined it with exploratory factor analysis when the original model did not fit the data. Multivariate analysis with SmartPLS revealed relationships among factors in the revised model. The positive initial results support further research, including an updated questionnaire and an interpretation framework.
