This study investigated the associations among centrality of spiritual identity, spiritual self-labeling, health status, and health behaviors in 292 ethnically diverse undergraduates. Results indicated that spiritual identity, spirituality, and religiosity are related, yet distinct constructs. Gender and ethnic differences in self-reported centrality of spiritual identity were found. Specifically, African Americans had higher centrality of spiritual identity than Whites. African American men had higher spiritual identity than African American women. Centrality of spiritual identity and spiritual self-labeling were not associated with psychological and physical health, after controlling for the effects of socio-economic status, religiosity, and risky health behaviors. Centrality of spiritual identity was positively associated with condom usage and negatively associated with drug and alcohol usage. Number of sexual partners, healthy diets, exercise, seatbelt usage, and health exams were not related to centrality of spiritual identity. Additionally, African Americans were more likely to self-label as "spiritual and religious" and "religious" than Whites. In contrast, Whites were more likely to self-label as "spiritual" and "neither spiritual nor religious." Self-identified "spiritual and religious" individuals had the highest centrality of spiritual identity, spirituality, and religiosity. Individuals who identified as "spiritual" received more health screenings than individuals who identified as "religious." However, self-identified "spiritual" and "neither spiritual nor religious" individuals had higher drug and alcohol usage than individuals self-identified as "religious" or "spiritual and religious." Similarly, individuals who identified as "spiritual" reported more negative consequences from alcohol consumption than individuals who identified as "religious" or "spiritual and religious." These findings highlight the importance of examining spiritual identity and self-labeling in relation to health behaviors, and using behavioral measures of spirituality and religiosity when examining health status. Results also have implications for future research and healthcare practices, health promotion, and disease prevention programs.
