Abstract
Background Research increasingly highlights the relationship between religiosity/spirituality, mental health and wellbeing. 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). Methods 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. Results 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 (α = 0.77–0.97) and 18-item (α = 0.74–0.95) versions. Discussion 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.
