Our study presents the psychometric properties of the Hungarian version of the multidimensional inventory of religious\/spiritual wellbeing (MI-RSWB) and examines its correlations with the spiritual wellbeing scale (SWBS) and the Brief Multidimensional Measurement of Religiosity Scale (BMMRS).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data were collected from 490 Hungarian participants (347 female; aged 18 and older) through an online survey. The survey included the newly translated Hungarian version of MI-RSWB, SWBS, and BMMRS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Four models were tested using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). While the 48-item version did not achieve adequate fit indicators, the 18-item abbreviated version showed acceptable fit across the tested models. The six-factor model of the Hungarian MI-RSWB demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency, in both the 48-item (\u03b1 = 0.77\u20130.97) and 18-item (\u03b1 = 0.74\u20130.95) versions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The findings indicate that the Hungarian MI-RSWB has satisfying convergent and content validity and reliability. Based on the CFA results, the 18-item version is recommended for future use and research where brevity and model fit are prioritized, while the 48-item version remains useful for broader content coverage. Further validation studies are needed to assess the Hungarian 18-item MI-RSWB in both clinical and nonclinical populations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2026.1653936","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,19]],"date-time":"2026-06-19T05:47:39Z","timestamp":1781848059000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The multidimensional inventory of religious\/spiritual wellbeing in Hungarian language: psychometric properties and initial validation"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Bertalan Bal\u00e1zs","family":"S\u00fcto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Doctoral School of Psychology, University of P\u00e9cs","place":["P\u00e9cs, Hungary"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G\u00e1bor","family":"Aranyi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Psychotherapy Science, Sigmund Freud University","place":["Vienna, Austria"]},{"name":"Institute of Education and Psychology at Szombathely, ELTE E\u00f6tv\u00f6s Lor\u00e1nd University","place":["Budapest, Hungary"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J\u00falia","family":"Gyimesi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Personality and Clinical Psychology, P\u00e1zm\u00e1ny P\u00e9ter Catholic University","place":["Budapest, Hungary"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marina","family":"Zeldovich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Psychotherapy Science, Sigmund Freud University","place":["Vienna, Austria"]},{"name":"Institute of Psychology, University of Innsbruck","place":["Innsbruck, Austria"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Human-Friedrich","family":"Unterrainer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Psychotherapy Science, Sigmund Freud University","place":["Vienna, Austria"]},{"name":"Addiction Research Hub (ARH), Gr\u00fcner Kreis Organisation","place":["Vienna, Austria"]},{"name":"Department of Religious Studies, University of Vienna","place":["Vienna, Austria"]},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapeutic Medicine, Medical University of Graz","place":["Graz, Austria"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","volume-title":"Confirmatory Factor Analysis for Applied Research","author":"Brown","year":"2015"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"56","DOI":"10.1177\/009164719101900106","article-title":"Norms for the spiritual weil-being scale","volume":"19","author":"Bufford","year":"1991","journal-title":"J.
