This research conceptualized and offered preliminary evidence on the psychometric properties of the 10-item Divine Connectedness Scale-a measure that assesses individuals' perceptions of feeling supported by (divine guidance) and working with (divine collaboration) God or a Supreme Being. Results of exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis with 434 undergraduate students in the United States showed that scores from a single-factor model of divine connectedness were valid and reliable. Divine connectedness was positively associated with religiosity, forgiveness, and well-being variables. Divine connectedness showed incremental validity over demographic covariates, social desirability, and religiosity in predicting later meaning in life and flourishing.
本研究构想并提供了 10 项神性连接量表的初步心理测量学证据——该量表评估个体对感受到（神圣指引）支持和与（神圣合作）上帝或至上存在合作的感知。对美国 434 名大学生进行的探索性因子分析和验证性因子分析结果表明，神性连接的单因素模型得分是有效和可靠的。神性连接与宗教信仰、宽恕和幸福感变量呈正相关。在预测生命意义和繁荣的后期，神性连接在人口统计学协变量、社会期望和宗教信仰方面表现出增量有效性。
