Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic was particularly impactful on sojourners, absent from their families and unable to return home. This study explores how spirituality may impact self-esteem and how this may affect thriving during such a challenging time. Specifically, adopting a positive psychology framework, we expected higher/lower levels of spirituality would result in higher/lower levels of daily self-esteem, which in turn would result in higher/lower levels of daily thriving. We measured these daily fluctuations over a 9-day period by using a diary study. Results supported our hypothesized model. These findings extend our understanding of the role of spirituality during COVID-19 pandemic.
期刊介绍：
IJIR is dedicated to advancing knowledge and understanding of theory, practice, and research in intergroup relations. The contents encompass theoretical developments, field-based evaluations of training techniques, empirical discussions of cultural similarities and differences, and critical descriptions of new training approaches. Papers selected for publication in IJIR are judged to increase our understanding of intergroup tensions and harmony. Issue-oriented and cross-discipline discussion is encouraged. The highest priority is given to manuscripts that join theory, practice, and field research design. By theory, we mean conceptual schemes focused on the nature of cultural differences and similarities.
