Spirituality is recognized as the core component of personal health, acting to direct the physical, mental, emotional, and social components of health. Because college marks a time when young people establish life patterns for adulthood, especially African American students who frequently try to use spirituality to cope with life problems, in the fall semester 2003 and spring semester 2004, 430 undergraduate students, approximately 90% of whom were African American, completed the Life Attitude Profile-Revised (LAP-R), a 48-question survey that is used to measure spirituality. African American students in this study scored higher on spirituality than the 20-year-old national normative sample as well as 524 of their near-by white counterparts who recently completed the LAP-R. Unlike white students, the results of this study revealed no statistically significant differences between males and females or between freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors regarding spirituality scores. African American males, however, scored higher than African American females in goal-seeking as well as accepting their impending death. Possibly, health educators who are interested in helping African American students increase their spiritual dimension of health also may be instrumental in helping them eventually lessen their high rates or morbidity and mortality.
