| Summary: | This paper describes the results of a study that examined students’ conceptions of the term “Spiritual Capital.” Participants (N = 56) included students in the Colleges of Business and Education at a public Midwestern university. Results showed that almost half of the participants considered spiritual capital to represent a concept related to spirituality. Participants also mentioned values, religion, economics, or broader society in their definitions though other participants acknowledged their uncertainty regarding the term. Results of Chi-Square tests and Fisher’s exact test indicated no significant relationship between participants’ major and any of the coding categories used. |
