| Article Name : | | | ALEXITHYMIA IN RELATION TO SPIRITUALITY | | Author Name : | | | Titus Lassar , Sreekumar Radhakrishna Pillai And Raju,S. | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-2608 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | The objective of the study was to explore the nature and extent of association between alexithymia and spirituality and also to explore how alexithymia varies across demographic variables. Even though research on the relationship between alexithymia and spirituality may have implications in mental health services, the studies in this area are very little. So the hypotheses formulated for the study were: there will be no significant relationship between alexithymia and spirituality; and, there will be no significant differences in alexithymia across gender, age classifications and locale. The tools used for procuring data were: Alexithymia Scale and Spirituality Index. Data were analysed using Carl Pearson Product Moment correlation, t-test .One way ANOVA and Duncan Procedure. The results show that there is a significant negative correlation between alexithymia and spirituality. Again, alexithymia is found to vary significantly across the age categories and locale, but no such difference was found for gender. The results of the present study have implications in the treatment of alexithymia and may guide future research in this area. | | Keywords : | | |
