SURVEY ON RELIGIOSITY AND SPIRITUALITY OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
Abstract: This study was a
general survey on religiosity and spirituality of undergraduate students. There
has been lack of such studies in Indonesia, despite of its importance in the
study of human development and counseling psychology. One hundred and ninety
nine male and female students of different religious backgrounds (Catholic,
Moslem, and Protestant) participated in the study. Data were gathered using the
Faith Development Scale (FDS) and the Survey of Students’ Spirituality.
Descriptive statistics analysis of the
data showed that more first year students have higher level of faith
development than final year students and more females have higher level of
faith development than male students. Other results indicated that most
students do not believe in a Higher Power that controls their lives, have no
clear future, and need help in their spiritual growth. Further studies on this area need to be done
in order to understand the student as a whole person as well as a spiritual
being, in order to be more effective in help-ing them during their studies in
the university and in their personal development.
