Habits in Mind
George Tsakiridis is a contributing author, “Habit as a Spiritual Discipline in Early Christianity,” pp. 77-88. Book Description: The language of habit plays a central role in traditional accounts of the virtues, yet it has received only modest attention among contemporary scholars of philosophy, psychology, and religion. This volume explores the role of both "mere habits" and sophisticated habitus in the moral life.
The impact of personality on God image, religious coping, and religious motivation among Coptic Orthodox priests
This study examines the influence of personality on the spirituality of Oriental Orthodox priests, who account for approximately 1400 Christian leadership positions in America. The personality types of Orthodox priests are explored and evaluated in terms of their association with different aspects of spirituality as defined by the God Image Inventory, the Intrinsic/Extrinsic ‐ Revised (I/E ‐ R), and the Religious Coping Activities Scale. The 16‐P…

The Political Meaning of Christian Caregiving
The suffering of the Messiah is the inauguration of the Kingdom. --John Howard Yoder (1972/1994, p. 51) The interview project concerns hospice caregivers--quiet exemplars tending to patients beyond the restorative limits of medical science. Today's conversation happens in a Manhattan Beach bungalow. Local real estate is expensive, if less exorbitant than neighboring Venice (north) or Rancho Palos Verdes (south). This neighborhood overlooks the pr…
Spiritual Identity
In this article we outline a theoretical and methodological framework for spiritual identity as meaning in folk psychology. Identity is associated with psychological elements of personality that help people manage a time-bound existence. This discussion is extended on anthropological grounds, noting that spiritual goals are reinforced when they become symbolically self-important, often through religious ritual. This makes religious tradition and …
A particular peace
Recognizing the moral efficacy of nonviolent exemplars such as Gandhi, recent peace scale development emphasizes particular spiritual or religious priorities in measurement. Following this lead, the present study considered the psychometric integrity of a peacemaking scale constructed from a paradigm of 10 practices emphasizing justice and religious virtue. Psychometrics of the Just Peacemaking Inventory (JPI) were evaluated with a sample of 289 …
Revisiting Moral Attachment
Moral Identity in Adolescence
Through computational analysis of natural language responses, this exploratory study considered problems related to the assessment of adolescent moral identity. The matched sample was composed of 15 care-exemplar and 15 comparison adolescents from ethnically and socioeconomically diverse urban neighborhoods. Participants were given a semistructured interview based on a well-known study of adolescent moral identity (Hart & Fegley, 1995). Interview…
Committed to Caring
This article considers emotion and social influence in the cognitive development of adolescent moral identity. Colby and Damon's (1995) metaphor of moral transformation is revisited on the basis of new research that implicates cognitive representations of emotion in the identification of caring goals. Additionally, transformation is considered in light of social influences. Preliminary findings are presented from a study of urban care exemplar an…
Retrieving the Virtues in Psychotherapy
This article considers the possibility that democratic liberalism is a virtue tradition. Given the centrality of the liberal tradition in American psychotherapy, the clinician risks imposing a particular set of virtues on the ethnic or religious client. A review of the historical and philosophical foundations of liberalism suggests that psychotherapy is a moral encounter based on its handling of virtue language. Liberal psychotherapy may, when it…

A Qualitative Exploration of Relational Consciousness in Christian Children
Nye's (1998) core construct of relational consciousness in child spirituality embraces a wider dialogue with social and personality psychology. Relatedness in spirituality implies the importance of language, mind, and the self as guideposts for development. In this research we seek to qualitatively expand our understanding of relational consciousness around recent work in these three domains. Twelve school-age children are given detailed intervie…
