| 总结: | The following study sought to determine if the spiritual well-being (SWB) of adults of Haitian descent predicted their psychological well-being (PWB). Prior research has demonstrated that SWB predicts PWB in adult populations. However, no studies have examined this predictive relationship in adults of Haitian descent. In order to examine this relationship, a sample of 79 Haitian adults completed a measure of both SWB and PWB. Findings revealed that SWB predicted total PWB. Additionally, the researchers found that the two dimensions of SWB; religiosity and existentialism predicted total psychological well-being. Further, it was revealed that existentialism was a better predictor of PWB on the six subscales of the Psychological Well-being Scale (PWBS). These findings suggest that Haitians living in America have a unique spiritual epistemology that contributes to their PWB. |
