Indian Adaptation of Rojas‘s Independent Spirituality Assessment Scale (iSAS): Spirituality as a Relational–Ideopraxis

Prof. Dr. Anu Singh Lather, Archana Singh

Abstract :

The Independent Spirituality Assessment Scale (iSAS) was developed by Rojas (2002) to operationalise spirituality as a relational – ideopraxis construct to meet the need of management theory development to conduct empirical research in spirituality. Present study is undertaken to verify Rojas’s claim that can be hypothesized to be independent of denominations (ideologies). The present study demonstrates and evaluates the processes, undertaken to assess the psychometric integrity of iSAS in Indian context. A diverse sample from India was used to examine the integrity of iSAS. The results demonstrated the high level of convergent and discriminant validity and hence the scale can be applied to various ethnic groups. The results therefore supported the cross – cultural application of iSAS as a relational – ideopraxis.
