Abstract

This study investigates the association between sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) and religiosity/spirituality (R/S) in two samples of Czech adults (N1=1406; N2=1494). Results from binary logistic regression showed a significant positive association between SPS and religiosity, spirituality, and negative religious coping. Higher SPS was also linked to perceiving God as possessing various positive and negative attributes. No significant association was found between SPS and religious conspiracy theories. The findings highlight the relevance of considering SPS in clinical contexts involving religious and spiritual issues and suggest further research comparing results across different religious backgrounds.
