Sensing Mentality and the Cognitive-Spiritual Intervention

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of cognitive-spiritual intervention in increase of the spiritual orientation of the participants. It is argued that sensing mentality is a personality disorder that can cause a person to lose the spiritual, empathetic, and reasoning ability. It is hypothesized that with the cognitive-spiritual intervention the spiritual orientation can be increased. This study employed an experiment with the pre-test and post-test control stages. The spirituality was measured through ‘anchor’ personality questionnaire. The participants joined the one-day workshop and worked through cognitive, affective and spiritual experiences concerning the life orientation. Out of 22 participants, 20 completed pre-test and post-test data. The results show that spirituality increased significantly among the participants. The average pre-test score was M=1.517, and the average post-test score was M=2.166. Therefore, the average difference is 0.649, with t-score = 4.25, p<0.01. Thus, cognitive-spiritual therapeutic intervention can be used to influence the life orientation of those who have a sensory mentality.The author declares that there is no conflict of interest.
