This study examined the relationship between social interest and spirituality. Social interest, a fundamental concept in Alfred Adler's Individual Psychology, was operationalized using the Social Interest Index (SII) developed by Greever, Tseng, and Friedland (1973). The Assessment of Spirituality and Religious Sentiment (ASPIRES), which included two major dimensions of numinous functioning: Religious Sentiments (RS) and Spiritual Transcendence (ST), was used to operationalize spirituality. The study participants, members of (or visitors to) St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, completed a demographic information questionnnaire, the SII, and the ASPIRES. Qualitative data gathered as part of the study included information on how participants live out their spirituality and social interest. Total Social Interest (SI) and subscale scores were correlated with total ST and subscale scores. A strong, positive correlation (.52) was found between total SI and ST, supporting the hypothesis that there is a positive relationship between social interest and spirituality and bearing out the findings of research performed by Hodges (2006) and Leak (2006). A negative correlation (.398) was found between total SI and Religious Crisis (RC), an RS subscale on the ASPIRES. These correlations and the qualitative data gathered, are helpful to consider when providing therapy to clients of diverse faiths expressing spiritual concerns and in the development of meaningful interventions and treatment plans.
