Development of the Korean Christian version of the Daily Spiritual Experience Scale (KCDSES)

ABSTRACT

The goal of this study was to validate the Korean Christian Version of Daily Spiritual Experience Scale (KCDSES). To achieve this research goal, this study executed an exploratory factor analysis and a confirmatory factor analysis. The result is as follows: during the exploratory factor analysis, two factors were found and were compared to the one factor of the original Daily Spiritual Experience Scale through parallel analysis. During the confirmatory factor analysis, this study found that a two-factor model had a proper model fit, as opposed to an alternative model. The KCDSES proved convergent validity and properly reflected the characteristics of the original scale.
