metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Inconsistency of the universal character of the theory of secularisation and the increasing
  presence of religion in social life has resulted in a new paradigm in sociology
  of religion, according to which religion has not been losing its social significance
  but has been transforming. Religiousness and spirituality are being differentiated,
  with the latter often being a wider construct that also includes religiousness. The
  article presents an analytical review of some of the new approaches and measuring
  scales published in “Assessing Spirituality in a Diverse World” in 2021 under the
  editorship of A. L. Ai, P. Wink et al. These scales are specifically interesting for the
  further application of the methods to multidimensional research of students’ spirituality.
  During the research the concept of ‘spirituality’, widely used in educational
  field, was specified within new paradigms in sociology and psychology of religion;
  and three of the most recent approaches in the study of spirituality including research
  of ‘new’ spirituality, (non)religiosity/ (non)spirituality, and spirituality as an
  aspect of meaning in life were analysed. The analysis shows potential strengths and
  weaknesses of the showcased measuring instruments. Review of the recent western
  theories and methodologies in the study of spirituality, developing within the field
  of sociology and psychology of religion, enriches interdisciplinary knowledge exchange
  and invites researches from other fields of humanities to test existing western
  methodologies in Russian context.
