Aim. The present study is focused on exploring of the relationship between spirituality
and irrational beliefs particularly in relation to movement activities in Slovakia
and Czechia, i.e., helplessness, idealisation, perfectionism, external vulnerability, and
negative expectation.
Concept. Our research has been focused on the investigation, comparison, and correlation
between the level of spirituality and irrational beliefs depending on the frequency
of sport activities.
Method. The research sample (N = 469) consisted of Slovak and Czech health population
aged 18-70 (M = 41.97, SD = 13.14), of which 42.2% were men (N = 198) and 57.8%
were women (N = 271). The level of spirituality was identified by means of the Expressions
of Spiritual Inventory-Revised – ESI-R (MacDonald, 2000). The irrational beliefs
were measured using the Scale of Irrational Beliefs (Kondáš & Kordáčová, 2000).
Results. Research results confirmed the differences between the variables of spirituality
and irrational beliefs based on the frequency of sports activities. Also, we confirmed
the hypothesis of negative correlation between spirituality and irrational beliefs.
Conclusion. In our study, we focused on the correlations between irrational beliefs
and spirituality in group of Slovak and Czech population. Based on our results we can
draw several conclusions. Research results confirmed the differences between the variables
of spirituality and irrational beliefs based on frequency of sports activities.
