The indirect effect of spiritual well-being on the relationship between interaction with persons with disabilities and negative attitudes in a Romanian sample

Summary/Abstract: The present study aimed to examine the potential indirect effect of spiritual well-being on the relationship between interaction with persons with disabilities and negative attitudes toward individuals with disabilities. The research was conducted on a sample of 352 participants from Romania, aged between 18 and 70 years (M = 27.51, SD = 8.90). Participants completed psychological instruments assessing the main constructs of interest, along with a series of socio-demographic measures. The findings indicated significant associations between the key variables and further revealed that spiritual well-being had a significant indirect effect on the relationship between interaction with individuals with disabilities and negative attitudes toward them. The results are discussed in relation to existing theoretical frameworks, and both theoretical and practical implications are outlined.
