It suggests that people have a strong desire to realize their full potential, reach their self-actualization and find meaning in life. In spite of its attractive nature, the theory has also received much criticism. One of the main objections focuses on its A systematic review by Monod and colleagues ( 2011) examined 35 questionnaires that measured spirituality in clinical research and proposed a typology of instruments to reflect the multivariate nature of this complex area. The earliest one identified emerged in 1983; the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS). In addition, as posited in Davis et al.'s (Chap. 18, this volume) positive religious/spiritual development theory, people's psychological needs may drive their R/S and thereby their well-being. For instance, religious/spiritual social resources can fulfill psychological needs for acceptance, trust, and self-esteem/status and thereby account The framework identifies seven discrete explanatory mechanisms, or pathways through which spirituality produces beneficial outcomes: health promoting behaviours and lifestyles, social components of spirituality/spiritual well-being, but it seems to be separated from roots in organized religion. The concept of spiritual well-being has served the same purpose as the disengagement theory in creating a focus for the discussion of religiosity, spirituality, and aging.

Spirituality therefore forms a multidimensional theoretical construct. In essence, it constitutes transcendence understood as going beyond or above "the real I." In this context, spirituality is defined as experiencing transcendence through inner peace, harmony, or connectedness to others (Boswell et al., 2006). Transcendence can take place xT6n.
