Spiritual and moral aspects of personality and reflexivity in the context of research on spiritual capacities

Abstract

The article reflects the results of studying the relationship of the spiritual and moral aspects: spiritual and moral qualities, altruism, striving for meaning (as sub-components of the moral component of spiritual capacities) with reflexivity (considered as a sub-component of the mental component of spiritual capacities). It is noted that there are different types of reflection: productive and unproductive. The purpose of the study is to find out whether there is a connection between aspects of the spiritual and moral sphere with reflexivity (its different types). On the basis of a sample of 274 people, a significant positive relationship of the aspects of spiritual and moral sphere of personality with a productive type of reflection (systemic reflection) was established and a significant negative connection or lack of connection with unproductive types of reflection (introspection and quasi-reflection) was found, which makes it possible to identify the sub-component of the mental component of spiritual abilities "reflexivity" with productive (systemic) reflection.
