SPIRITUALITY AND QUIET EGO 1
Results
The total sample collected for this study consisted of 35 individuals: 18 female (51.4%)
and 17 male (48.6%), providing roughly even distribution. This was a fortuitous outcome, since
participation in the study was voluntary and no effort was made to ensure equal sampling in
regards to gender. Other demographic parameters were not so well dispersed, with 62.9% of the
sample being married, 88.6% being white, and 48.5% falling between the ages of 30 and 33.
The purpose of the study was to determine whether there is a relationship between
spirituality and quiet ego. In order to accomplish this, a Pearson’s Correlation was calculated r
based on participants’ scores of spirituality and quiet ego. No relationship was found, (33) = r
0.168, p = .336,
r2
= .028 (two-tailed). The null hypothesis is retained; there is no correlation
between spirituality and quiet ego (see Table 1).
