Some psychologists treat religious/spiritual beliefs as a unitary aspect of individual differences. But a distinction between mysticism and orthodox religion has been recognized by scholars as well as laypersons, and empirical studies of "ism" variables and of "spirituality" measures have yielded factors reflecting this distinction. Using a large sample of American adults, analyses demonstrate that subjective spirituality and tradition-oriented religiousness are empirically highly independent and have distinctly different correlates in the personality domain, suggesting that individuals with different dispositions tend toward different styles of religious/spiritual beliefs. These dimensions have low correlations with the lexical Big Five but high correlations with scales (e.g., Absorption, Traditionalism) on some omnibus personality inventories, indicating their relevance for studies of personality.
一些心理学家将宗教/精神信仰视为个体差异的一个统一方面。但学者和普通人都认识到神秘主义与正统宗教之间的区别，对“主义”变量和“灵性”测量的实证研究也得出了反映这种区别的因素。通过对大量美国成年人样本进行分析表明，主观灵性和传统导向的宗教信仰在实证上高度独立，并且在人格领域具有明显不同的相关因素，这表明具有不同性格倾向的个体倾向于不同类型的宗教/精神信仰。这些维度与词汇学上的大五人格相关性较低，但与一些综合性人格量表（如专注性、传统主义）的相关性较高，表明它们与人格研究相关。
