NEOGEROTRANSCENDENCE SCALE: A COMPREHENSIVE TOOL FOR ASSESSING GEROTRANSCENDENCE ACROSS ALL AGE GROUPS

Abstract

The Neogerotranscendence Scale represents a novel and comprehensive tool for measuring aspects of gerotranscendence in adults, irrespective of their age. By extending the concept of gerotranscendence to include younger populations through the innovative construct of neogerotranscendence, the scale offers valuable insights into the role of transcendental experiences throughout the adult lifespan. This invention paves the way for new avenues of research and practice aimed at enhancing overall well-being through the promotion of transcendental values and experiences.

Specification

Description:Field of Invention: The present invention relates to the field of psychosocial assessment tools, specifically to a scale designed to measure gerotranscendence not only in the elderly but also in younger adults,hence introducing the concept of neogerotranscendence.As The concept of gerotranscedence was limited to older age group
Background: Traditional gerotranscendence scales focus primarily on the elderly, based on the assumption that transcendence is a stage reached predominantly in later life. However, emerging research suggests that transcendental experiences and shifts in perspective can occur at various stages of adulthood. This realization led to the development of the Neogerotranscendence Scale by the World Forum For Studies on Gerotranscendence under the Umbrella of Jagatmitra Foundation, aiming to assess and promote understanding of transcendence across a broader age range.
Summary of the Invention: The Neogerotranscendence Scale (NTS) is a psychosometric tool designed to assess the extent to which , Claims:A psychometric scale for assessing gerotranscendence across all adult age groups, named the Neogerotranscendence Scale (NTS).
The scale as claimed in claim 1, wherein it includes dimensions specifically designed to measure cosmic communion, temporal transcendence, material transcendence, self-transcendence, and social transcendence.
The scale as claimed in any preceding claims, wherein it is applicable for use in research, clinical settings, and personal self-assessment to facilitate a deeper understanding of transcendental experiences and their impact on well-being.
The process of developing normative data for the scale as claimed in any preceding claims, including a diverse sample of adults, allowing for comparative assessments across different age groups.
