Participants answered 13 questions selected from the 18-item
George–Mabb–Walsh Spirituality Scale (George et al., 1994). The scale
measures personal spirituality without reference to church attendance,
denomination or belief system. Questions include beneficial change due
to faith, living consistent with spiritual values, inspirational reading, altruistic
giving, and others. All items were rated on 7-point scales with
varying anchors depending on the nature of the question. The alpha reliability
values were .94 for men and .91 for women.
