| Summary: | This study discusses the spiritual well-being of 8–11 year-old children and its determinants. The aim of the study was to examine differences in terms of gender and age in selected variables and verify the relationship between spiritual well-being and selected variables: the religiosity of children, parental support; peer support, as well as explaining to extent to which the stated variables predict individual domains of spiritual well-being. In order to measure the selected variables, a test battery consisting of theFGLL, PSSS and FSSS questionnaires were used in addition to the author’s Family Religious Activities Scale and the Religious Activities with Friends Scale. . . The sample consisted of 444 respondents (49% boys). The age of the respondents ranged from 8 to 11 (M = 9.69). The results were analysed by several statistical procedures. The results of the study confirm the importance of the support of parents and peers in the development of spiritual well-being in children aged 8to11. |
