Abstract | ||
Consciousness plays a crucial role in forming human behavior and interactions, though comparative cultural studies exploring its dimensions remain limited, especially in the Arab context. This study aims at exploring differences in multidimensional consciousness among three Arab countries: Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. The study adopts a descriptive comparative approach and is applied to a random sample of 108 individuals aged 20 to 65 from the three countries. Pearson’s correlation coefficient and one-way ANOVA were used in the study; additionally, Scheffé’s test was applied to examine the post hoc differences between the groups. The validity and reliability of the scale are verified using split-half and Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The results show a high reliability coefficient across all dimensions. The results show statistically significant differences between nationalities in most dimensions of consciousness. Jordanian participants scored higher than Saudis in the emotional, interpersonal, cognitive, social, and internal growth dimensions. Egyptians outperformed Saudis in the social dimension only. No significant differences were recorded in the physical and spiritual dimensions between the three nationalities. These results indicate the potential influence of cultural, educational, and social factors in shaping individuals' levels of consciousness. This study represents a scientific contribution to the field of applied psychology, offering a tool applicable across Arab cultural contexts and providing empirical data that highlights how cultural dynamics shape individual consciousness. However, it should be noted that the relatively small sample size (N = 108) limits the external validity and generalizability of the findings. | ||
