“…La verdad es que sí, pues se deduce que la salud espiritual y el funcionamiento familiar son factores protectores de los problemas emocionales (Moroni, et al, 2021). Existe evidencia de una clara relación entre las prácticas religiosas y el nivel de bienestar en población adulta, mostrando los beneficios que otorgan al ser humano.…”

El adulto joven o adulto emergente es la etapa donde se construye la identidad, la personalidad y el autodescubrimiento. Así mismo, es la etapa donde se toman decisiones importantes haciéndose responsable de sí mismo. Este estudio fue de tipo descriptivo, correlacional, explicativo y transversal. La muestra se conformó por 202 jóvenes mayores de 18 años, de la República Mexicana. Los resultados que se obtuvieron se confirman al compararlos con los resultados encontrados por otros investigadores y son aplicables a la muestra con la que se trabajó.

Aim. Empirical validation of the projective technique of K. Adams «Space of Trees and Light». Method. The study involved 298 people, including 245 women and 53 men aged 18 to 65 years (average age 33.89+12.7). There were used the following methods: Questionnaire «Family Emotional Communications» by A.B. Kholmogorova, S.V. Volikova, M.G. Sorokova; Questionnaire «Experience in Close Relationships» by K.A. Chistopolskaya and co-authors; projective technique «Space of Trees and Light» by K.Adams. Results and conclusions. The results given by the projective technique «Space of Trees and Light» are in correlations with the characteristics of family dysfunctions and displays of emotional attachment of adults in close relationships. Statistical analysis of the data showed that the groups of respondents who chose a picture symbolizing one or another version of the child’s spiritual world are characterized by specific profiles of family emotional communications and the experience in close relationships. Answers to additional questions to the technique help to clarify these features. The choice of a picture that symbolizes one or another social situation of development in the parental family acts as a kind of heuristic that allows one to build hypotheses about the features of family emotional communications and about the experience in building close relationships. The technique «Space of Trees and Light» can deepen empirical research and replenish the arsenal of techniques and methods in the practical activities of psychologists.

Objective: To determine the impact of a religious practices program on spiritual health, anxiety, and serum cortisol levels. Theoretical Framework: Spiritual health is a state of well-being where individuals feel in harmony with what they consider sacred, as well as with themselves, others, and nature. It involves finding purpose in life aligned with their belief system. Beck describes anxiety as a perception of danger that leads individuals to question their ability to face and overcome threats to their survival. Method: This study employed a quasi-experimental, quantitative, and comparative methodology. The sample consisted of 61 university students from a faith-based university in northeastern Mexico, divided into two groups: control (n = 31) and experimental (n = 30). Data collection included the Spiritual Health Scale-UM, the Beck Anxiety Inventory, and blood samples to measure cortisol levels before and after the religious practices program. Results and Discussion: The findings revealed that religious practices positively influence spiritual health and its dimensions, enhance relaxation capabilities, and reduce the intensity of fears such as anticipating the worst, feelings of instability or physical insecurity, terror, nervousness, fear of losing control, and fear of death. Additionally, these practices regulate serum cortisol levels. Research Implications: Demonstrating the positive impact of religious practices on reducing anxiety symptoms underscores the importance of developing prevention programs aimed at mitigating anxiety. Originality/Value: By establishing these relationships, this study scientifically substantiates the impact of spiritual programs in Adventist educational institutions on anxiety.
