An original scale of spirituality was constructed and verified on a sample of 108 Prague students of human sciences and technical universities. Factor analysis of 30 items indicates the existence of three factors. 'Pagan eco-spirituality' includes spiritual experiences in relation to earth, amazement with elements of nature and experience of connectedness with past and future generations. 'Belonging' refers to the experience of harmony of souls with close people, emotional closeness, respect towards and responsibility for people as well as for natural entities. A factor interpretable as 'transcendental mysticism' concerns experience of 'highest reality', catharsis from inner impurity, endless awe, deeper understanding of the world's substance and sense of integration with all life. All three aspects of spirituality bear on historical religious systems and trends, in the framework of which they have always existed. Theoretical base and results of the investigation are discussed in relation to Hood's Scale of Mysticism, Spiritual Transcendence Scale of Piedmont, Expressions of Spirituality Inventory of MacDonald, Index of Core Spiritual Experiences of Kass, Friedman et al., and other scales of spirituality (Reker, Moberg).

After a brief history of the concept of spirituality in psychology and of its operationalization, the authors present their own apprehension and their own new method called Prague Spirituality Questionnaire, designed with respect to the specific spiritual landscape of the Czech Republic. Data from 410 subjects, mostly college students, were collected and analyzed. Factor analysis with oblique rotation yielded three factors meaningfully related to those of other researchers but adding new dimensions accounting for aspects of spirituality not included by earlier studies, namely, Eco-Spirituality and Moral Involvement. Results are discussed in the context of recent research. Directions for future studies in the field are suggested.
