Abstract :

The spirituality and religious researchers have been focused on creating a measurement tool in recent years. However, this trend has been forsaken in spiritual health field so far. In order to introduce an efficient measurement tool, this research proposes a new spiritual health inventory. This is a practical research in the form of the questionnaire. The population pool included high school students of Karaj city. A number of 628 students were selected using multi level selection methods and were tasked to fill out the spiritual health and NEO-FFI questionnaires. A structure with eight components were developed using the principal component analysis (PCA). Finally based on scary test, six components were selected with varimax rotation. These components were as follows: religious  belief,  heart peace, spiritual aesthetics, self-acceptance,holy feeling, believe in miracle. These results also demonstrated that scores of extracted components are valid and reliable. Finally, the the correlation coefficients between spiritual health inventory components and NEOPI Factors were as expected. Conclusively, the results of this research indicates that spiritual health inventory test demonstrates reliable properties to be used as a spiritual health test in teenagers.
