Resumo: Anomalous experiences in religious context, such as spiritual visions and mediumship, were/are studied by renowned authors of Psychology of Religion and Personality. Anomalous experiences are lived both by the general population and by individuals with severe mental disorders. However, we lack of theoretical and especially empirical studies on the differentiation between healthy and pathological experiences. In this article we aim to discuss the relations between personality models and anomalous experiences re-signified in religious contexts, in order to identify personality traits possibly associated with maturity and mental health. We reviewed personality theories and their contributions to religiosity/spirituality field. Among them, we describe the Psychobiological Model of Temperament and Character and the dimensions of Self-directedness and Self-Transcendence, which point to mental health in individuals who have anomalous experiences. We conclude by proposing a Psychology of Religion based on evidences and the integration of theoretical and empirical models of personality in order to improve the identification of positive mental health indicators.

Tais experiências são encontradas tanto na população geral quanto em indivíduos que apresentam transtornos mentais graves. Contudo, a diferenciação entre experiências saudáveis e patológicas ainda é pouco explorada de forma teórica e, menos ainda, empiricamente. Por esse motivo, o principal objetivo deste artigo é problematizar as relações entre modelos de personalidade e experiências anômalas ressignificadas em contexto religioso, a fim de identificar possíveis características de personalidade que estejam associadas à maturidade e à saúde mental. Para tanto, foram revisadas algumas teorias da personalidade e suas contribuições para o campo da religiosidade/espiritualidade. Entre elas, descrevemos o Modelo Psicobiológico de Temperamento e Caráter e as dimensões de Autodirecionamento e Autotranscendência, as quais apontam para a saúde mental em indivíduos com experiências anômalas. Na conclusão, propomos uma Psicologia da Religião baseada em evidências e a integração de modelos teóricos e empíricos de personalidade, a fim de avançar na identificação de indicadores positivos de saúde mental.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2017-08-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/rever/article/view/3412410.23925/1677-1222.2017vol17i2a4REVER: Journal for the Study of Religion; Vol. 17 No. 2 (2017): Psicologia da Religião: Demandas e Aplicação; 50-72REVER: Revista de Estudos da Religião; v. 17 n. 2 (2017): Psicologia da Religião: Demandas e Aplicação; 50-721677-1222reponame:Rever (São Paulo.
