Özet:
The field of psychology is still early in its study of the effects of various spiritual practices on mood. One tendency has been to group different spiritual practices into one category called "prayer." The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the spiritual practice known as glossolalia, or "speaking in tongues," and its impact on the mood of the individual using The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule -- Extended Form (PANAS-X). The independent variables were (a) age, (b) gender, (c) frequency per week glossolalia was practiced, and (e) number of years glossolalia was spoken. The dependent variables were (a) positive affect and (b) negative affect. The study consisted of 101 adult participants from across the U.S. and three countries. Pearson's correlation was used to evaluate the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variables. Stepwise regression analysis was used to test the degree to which the independent variables predicted the dependent variables. The key finding of the study was the significant relationship between the frequency per week glossolalia was practiced and negative affect, indicating that those who reported more frequent weekly glossolalia reported lower negative affect. Frequency of practice was found to be the best predictor of negative affect and accounted for 4% of the variability. The findings suggest that mental health professionals should take into account individual spiritual practice of glossolalia when creating treatment plans for mood disorders, as it can serve as a factor in improving mood.
