Religious and spiritual (r/s) struggles are common experiences and robust predictors of poor mental and physical health outcomes. The present study sought to examine the role of personality and self-concept in predicting r/s struggles both concurrently and longitudinally. Four samples were collected (total N=5015), involving three cross-sectional samples of undergraduates and a cross-sectional and 1-month longitudinal sample of adult web-users. Across samples, aspects of personality (e.g., low self-esteem, high entitlement, high neuroticism) consistently predicted the concurrent experience of r/s struggles. Longitudinally, facets of self-concept (e.g., low self-esteem, low agreeableness) also predicted r/s struggle, even when baseline levels of r/s struggle were controlled, further demonstrating that personality and self-concept likely play a role in the experience of r/s struggles.
