Belief that people have a soul or spirit. Most Americans (83%) believe that people have a soul or spirit in addition to their physical body. Overwhelming majorities of Protestants (93%) and Catholics (91%) express this belief, as do smaller majorities of Jews (69%) and the religiously unaffiliated (67%). Older Americans are more likely to
Spirituality can be defined generally as an individual's search for ultimate or sacred meaning, and purpose in life. Additionally it can mean to seek out or search for personal growth, religious experience, belief in a supernatural realm or afterlife, or to make sense of one's own "inner dimension".

When examining the role of spirituality in psychology, Maslow's theories could be considered as the early contemporary return to considering the spiritual mind within the human experience.
Did any of those past theories emphasize spirituality in distilling core meanings of optimal human functioning? This inquiry illuminates an important theoretical issue: namely, the conceptual distinctiveness versus overlap in conceptions of spirituality and psychological well-being.
Spirituality is consistently defined by scientists as the search for, or communion with, the sacred ( Pargament et al., 2013b ). This has become nearly a consensual definition among scientists in the study of spirituality as this definition is reflected in approximately two-thirds of studies on the topic ( Kapuscinski and Masters, 2010 ).
In addition, as posited in Davis et al.'s (Chap. 18, this volume) positive religious/spiritual development theory, people's psychological needs may drive their R/S and thereby their well-being. For instance, religious/spiritual social resources can fulfill psychological needs for acceptance, trust, and self-esteem/status and thereby account

This Positive Religious and Spiritual Development (PRSD) theory posits that people's religiousness/spirituality (a) is motivated by goals designed to meet psychological needs (e.g., for acceptance, predictability, and competence); (b) consists of mental/neural representations (stored beliefs, emotions, action tendencies, and physiological respon
Spiritualities, including those associated with the world religions, take a variety of different forms. These forms are expressed in wisdom teachings, spiritual practices, and approaches to everyday life as well as in distinctive theories of spiritual growth and transformation.
Maslow's theory might be one of the most powerful perspectives on humans' growth. It suggests that people have a strong desire to realize their full potential, reach their self-actualization and find meaning in life. In spite of its attractive nature, the theory has also received much criticism. One of the main objections focuses on its
