Abstract
This study examined the relationship between spirituality, interconnectedness, and concern for global crises. A sample of 225 participants comprised of students from King's University College, members of the Consciousness Club, and alumni from The Finders Course completed online questionnaires assessing spirituality, psychological well-being, and attitudes toward global crises. Quadratic regression analysis revealed that spirituality accounted for 11% of the variance in concern for global crises. Individuals scoring lower and higher on spirituality reported the most concern for global crises, whereas individuals scoring in the mid-range on spirituality reported less concern for global crises. The correlation between spirituality and interconnectedness was not significant. Post hoc analyses revealed that the paranormal beliefs dimension of spirituality significantly predicted concern for global crises, and that this relationship was mediated by interconnectedness. Implications for informing strategies to increase concern for global crises are discussed.
