| Σύνοψη: | Sanctification theory proposes that when people appraise an aspect of life as having divine character and significance, this can lead to a number of positive outcomes. While questions remain as to whether a negative aspect of life – suffering – can be sanctified, the Christian tradition supports a sanctification approach. In a series of three online cross-sectional studies with Christian participants, we report on the development of a Christian sanctification of suffering measure, establishing and confirming its factor structure and evaluating its construct in online samples of Christians who indicated they had experienced suffering. In addition, we demonstrate incremental validity over religious commitment and orthodox beliefs about suffering with respect to eudaimonic well-being outcomes. We conclude that the Christian Sanctification of Suffering Scale represents an orthodox Christian approach to the sanctification of suffering that is associated with eudaimonic well-being. |
