“…These findings are consistent with previous studies' findings that religiousness is correlated with transcendent wisdom (Le 2008b;Levitt 1999;Lewin 2001;Wink and Dillon 2003). According to Immamŏglu (1999), religious people tend to have a more positive attitude, focus on peace of mind and the meaning of life, and make a greater effort to help others.…”

Whether wisdom is a culturally-specific or universal construct is a matter of some debate (see Curnow 1999; Grossman et al. Psychological Science, 2012). This study compared similarities and differences in the factor structure of a measure of wisdom focused on self-transcendence in U.S. (n = 305, M(age) = 33.99) and Korean samples (n = 838, M(age) = 30.28), with ages ranging from 20 to 73). The Adult Self-Transcendence Inventory (ASTI; Levenson et al. International Journal of Aging and Human Development, 60, 127-143, 2005) has two factors, self-transcendence and alienation, the latter of which was included to differentiate between social withdrawals due to contemplative practices versus that due to depression. Confirmatory factor analyses found a partial scalar factorial invariance model fit the data best, indicating that the factor structure of the ASTI is largely equivalent and that the construct is comparable across the two cultures. Regression analyses showed that age and religiousness were related to self-transcendence and alienation. Education was related to self-transcendence only. The interaction between age and culture was significant on alienation; alienation was higher in mid-life Koreans but not in Americans, which may reflect either age or cohort effects. Thus, self-transcendence may be a more universal measure of wisdom than those based on pragmatics or cognitive functioning.

“…Religiousness in early adulthood was significantly linked with wisdom in late life (Wink and Dillon 2003), and religious practice in Buddhists facilitated the development of transcendent wisdom (Levitt 1999). Furthermore, religiousness affected gero-transcendence (Lewin 2001).…”

“…Consistent with two prior studies (Maguen et al, 2006;Salo et al, 2005), spiritual growth and spiritual decline were not related to age. Interestingly, religion and spirituality are consistently documented to increase with age (Dalby, 2006;Wink & Dillon, 2002); however, spiritual transformation did not have a similar relationship. Meanwhile, two other studies have shown both domains of spiritual transformation to be negatively related to age (Butler et al, 2005;Cole et al, 2008).…”

“…The same trend was observed on xenos, where changes in thinking were not significant. This finding is enhanced by the view of the proponents of post-formal stages of cognitive development that spirituality is the product of the maturity process occurring in the course of adult life (Jung, 1943(Jung, , 1964Wink & Dillon, 2002). The above leads us to think that probably spiritual growth is not linked to educational development but is linked with the maturity processes and experiences (McFadden, 1996;Stokes, 1990).…”

The goal of the present study was to investigate developmental changes in the religiosity of individuals in relation to age, education and gender. The study also investigated the relation among religious faith and religious schemas. The sample used was comprised of 285 individuals of Christian Orthodox faith (men n = 128, women n = 157) with ages range of 13-86 years (M = 26.69, SD = 15.80). Participants had high school, lyceum, graduate, and post graduate education. All participants filled out two questionnaires, Santa Clara Strength of Religious Faith Questionnaire and Religious Schema Scale. Results showed a significant affect mostly of age and education and less of gender on the formation of religiosity. Results also presented a significant relation among religious faith and religious schemas of truth of texts and teachings (ttt) and fairness, tolerance and rational choice (frt).
