Report
The Correlation Between Spirituality and Resilience in Cornell Students Department of Psychology, Cornell University HD 2830: Research Methods in Human Development Professor Lauren Korfine October 27, 2023
Results At the end of the data collection, we received 107 valid responses to our survey. Of these 107 participants, most of them felt a strong connection to religion and a higher power, resulting in a majority of participants to receive higher scores of spirituality. In accordance with our hypothesis, we predicted that spirituality would positively depict resilience in students as it is a prevalent coping mechanism for many college students to deal with stress and people with higher scores of spirituality will score higher in relational resilience because of increased community that provides them within that belief circle. Our survey collected both and quantitative data, where we collected the participants’ sex, gender, race, ethnicity, political beliefs, and we found the correlation between spirituality and resilience, measuring central tendency and spread through imputing the data into a bell curve graph. We found that for resilience, the mean was 73.87 and the standard deviation was 7.724, and for spirituality, the mean was 13.89 and the standard deviation was 4.779. With this given information, we were able to compare the data from our findings of resilience and spirituality and compared them in a simple scatter plot graph as shown below.
Through our collected data, we were able to find correlations for the relationship between the subscales and spirituality, showing a significant positive correlation between personal and relational resilience, stronger for relational resilience than for personal resilience.
