Identity formation theorists consider crisis (i.e., lifelong processes that facilitate movement on a continuum from identity synthesis to confusion) a primary driver of psychosocial development from adolescence into adulthood. Correspondingly, spiritual development writers have promoted processes such as reflection, doubt, questioning, and suffering as beneficial for maturation in their theories and concepts. Thus, it is proposed in the study that crisis is facilitative of psychosocial and spiritual growth when it is balanced with secure connection and support from others, including an attachment to God. When one experiences crises within a secure attachment context (i.e., to God and/or community), it positively predicts more mature spiritual outcomes. Utilizing prior data collected as a part of a larger spiritual assessment project (Hall, 2013), the sample consisted of 608 undergraduate and graduate students from various evangelical Christian colleges and seminaries in the United States. In this study, previous findings by Holcomb and Nonneman (2004; i.e., crises within a supportive community is conducive for psychological maturation) and Beck (2006; i.e., theological exploration and tolerance for different Christian groups is associated with secure attachment to God) were hypothesized to be validated by the specified model employing quantitative analyses (Structural Equation Modeling; SEM). Thus, 3 types of crisis were postulated to be positively predictive of 3 spiritual flourishing outcomes via 2 mediating variables. Proposed latent constructs were first validated through a confirmatory factor analysis, which exemplified good fit (RMSEA = .045; CFI = .971; SRMR = .037). Results indicate support for the specified structural model (RMSEA = .055; CFI= .955; SRMR = .053), corroborate previous findings, and demonstrate that crises (e.g., transformational suffering, spiritual openness, and engagement with different perspectives) are positively predictive of spiritual flourishing outcomes (i.e., Love God, Others, and Self), yet the relationships are mediated significantly and at times fully by secure attachment to God and community. Specifically, secure attachment to God mediates crises relationship with loving God and self, while secure connection to community predominantly mediates crises interaction with loving others and self. In conclusion, consistent with prior research, crisis facilitates psychosocial and spiritual growth when balanced with a supportive community, and with God acting as a secure base.
