Les publications disponibles s’accordent sur l’éventuel développement, suite à un évènement extrême, d’un trouble état de stress post-traumatique accompagné d’autres troubles comme l’anxiété et la dépression. Plusieurs variables moduleraient la relation entre l’évènement potentiellement traumatisant vécu et son impact. La présente étude, menée au Liban, s’intéresse particulièrement au rôle modulateur des croyances religieuses et spirituelles dans la modulation de cet impact, en mettant l’accent sur l’importance des émotions positives. Les données recueillies par l’entretien clinique, les échelles et les questionnaires et illustrées par des vignettes cliniques ont permis de formuler des définitions de la religiosité et de la spiritualité selon la population d’étude et d’évaluer les variables « consultation » et «confession », menant ainsi à des comparaisons intergroupes. Les résultats obtenus indiquent une association de la religiosité aux émotions négatives chez les participants en consultation psychologique. Par ailleurs, chez les participants tout-venant l’interprétation symbolique du contenu religieux et les émotions positives se sont révélées jouer un rôle important pour une meilleure santé mentale, malgré le grand nombre d’évènements de guerre vécus.

Available publications agree on the possible development of a post-traumatic stress disorder, accompanied by other disorders such as anxiety and depression, following an extreme event. Several variables modulate the relationship between the potentially traumatic event experienced and its impact. The present study, conducted in Lebanon, is particularly interested in the role of religious and spiritual beliefs, and positive emotions in modulating this impact.Gathered information from the clinical interview, scales and questionnaires, illustrated by some clinical vignettes, allowed to formulate definitions of religiosity and spirituality according to the studied population, and to assess the “counseling” and “religion” variables, leading to inter-group comparisons.Findings indicate an association of religiosity with negative emotions among participants in psychological counseling. Furthermore, the symbolic interpretation of religious content, and positive emotions, played an important role in the construction of a better mental health, among the other participants, despite the high incidence of war events experienced. However, this role seems to vary according to

Abstract:

Cette thèse est le fruit d'un questionnement sur le rôle de la religiosité et de la spiritualité dans les maladies mentales et les addictions. Elle vise à explorer la dimension spirituelle et religieuse dans le contexte français, laïque, multiculturel et multi-religieux. Après une étude de validation de l'échelle WHOQOL-SRBP (World Health Organization Quality Of Life - Spirituality, Religiousness and Personal Beliefs) en langue française, quatre études ont été menées dans différentes populations: une population de référence, une population de suicidants, une population de détenues et une population d'alcooliques anonymes. Les résultats ont montré que la spiritualité est une ressource importante pour faire face aux difficultés de la vie, pour donner de l'espoir et de l'optimisme et pour donner un sens à la vie. Le manque du sens à la vie était le principal facteur de récurrence suicidaire, de récidive carcérale et de consommation d'alcool et de drogues. L'ensemble de ces travaux participe à une meilleure connaissance du lien entre la spiritualité et la psychiatrie ainsi que les addictions, particulièrement difficile à aborder en France compte tenu des réserves de nombreux praticiens par rapport à ce champ
The association between spirituality and health is an emerging area of research, relatively little explored in Europe. Spirituality and religiousness are associated with lower rates of physical, mental and substance use disorders and with how patients cope with illness. We tried to assess spirituality in the secular French culture, where the prevalence of agnosticism and atheism are high.After the validation of the French-language version of the WHOQOL- SRPB (World Health Organization Quality Of Life - Spirituality, Religiousness and Personal Beliefs) instrument, four studies were carried out in different populations: a general population, suicide attempters, detainees and alcoholics anonymous.We found that spirituality is an important resource of coping to face to many difficulties, to give hope and optimism and a meaning of life. The lack of meaning of life was the predictor factor of suicide risk, future suicide attempt, future offences and consumption of alcohol and illicit drugs.These studies clarified the link between spirituality and mental diseases and addictions and highlighted the need to considerate spirituality in the treatment of patients in severe conditions

Abstract:

Le débat sur l’impact de la publicité est né il y a plusieurs décennies, faisant ainsi émerger au cours des dernières années une accélération de la production scientifique sur les différentes approches publicitaires qui agissent sur la persuasion du consommateur. La littérature a fait ressortir deux approches publicitaires, une approche « soft-sell » fondée sur un message implicite et émotionnel ainsi qu’une approche publicitaire « hard-sell » s’appuyant sur la dimension factuelle et rationnelle. Jusqu’à présent, l’efficacité de ces deux approches n’a pas été étudiée dans les pays Arabo-musulmans malgré le poids de plus en plus grandissant de leur économie. L’objectif de cette recherche doctorale est de contribuer à une meilleure compréhension des mécanismes de persuasion du consommateur face à des publicités de types « soft-sell » et « hard-sell » et des pratiques des professionnels dans un contexte marocain versus français. La première partie de ce travail construit le cadre théorique permettant de répondre à la problématique énoncée précédemment. A cette fin, nous réalisons, dans une première partie, une revue des modèles de communication et de persuasion publicitaire (chapitre 1) pour comprendre le sens de la communication et ses fondements avant de se tourner vers la clarification des approches « soft-sell » et « hard-sell » (chapitre 2) et la compréhension des spécificités culturelles Arabo-musulmane et européennes (chapitre 3). Dans la seconde partie, en nous appuyant sur la possibilité que les spécificités culturelles de la cible modifient les perceptions envers les publicités, nous explorons les pratiques managériales dans un contexte arabo-musulman (chapitre 4). Et grâce à une étude qualitative exploratoire menée en France et au Maroc, nous tentons de comprendre les perceptions des consommateurs et des annonceurs vis-à-vis de la publicité et, en particulier, des approches « soft-sell » et « hard-sell » (chapitres 5 et 6). Enfin, la troisième partie de ce travail débouche sur la construction du modèle conceptuel de la recherche et la définition des hypothèses (chapitre 7) à partir de la théorie d’Okazaki, Mueller et Taylor (2010). Nos choix expérimentaux sont ensuite présentés (chapitre 8). Suivent les tests de nos hypothèses de recherche et la présentation des principaux résultats de nos analyses (chapitre 9). Ceux-ci révèlent des différences au niveau de l’impact des approches « soft-sell » et « hard-sell » sur la mémorisation, l’attitude et l’intention d’achat de la cible. Ces résultats diffèrent notamment selon le degré de religiosité et la responsabilité environnementale de l’individu. Les limites de ce travail renvoient aux perspectives et nouvelles voies de recherches
The debate on the impact of advertising emerged several decades ago, thus giving rise in recent years to an acceleration of scientific production concerning the different advertising approaches that act on consumer persuasion.The literature has highlighted two advertising approaches, a “soft-sell” approach based on an implicit, emotional message and a “hard-sell” advertising approach based on the factual and rational dimension. So far, the effectiveness of these two approaches has not been studied in Arab-Muslim countries despite the increasing weight of their economy. The objective of this doctoral research is to contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms of consumer persuasion in the face of “soft-sell” and “hard-sell” advertising and the practices of professionals in a Moroccan versus French context.The first part of this work builds the theoretical framework making it possible to respond to above mentioned the problem. To this end, we carry out, in a first part, a review of the models of communication and advertising persuasion (chapter 1) to understand the meaning of communication and its foundations before turning to the clarification of the “soft-sell” and “hard-sell” approaches (chapter 2), and the understanding of Arab-Muslim and European cultural specificities (chapter 3).In the second part, by relying on the possibility that the cultural specificities of the target modify the perceptions of the advertisements, we explore the managerial practices in an Arab-Muslim context (Chapter 4). In addition, thanks to an exploratory qualitative study carried out in France and Morocco, we are trying to understand the perceptions of consumers and advertisers toward advertising and, in particular, “soft-sell” and “hard-sell” approaches (chapters 5 and 6).Finally, the third part of this research deals with the construction of the conceptual model and the definition of the hypotheses (chapter 7) from the theory of Okazaki, Mueller and Taylor (2010). Our experimental choices are then presented (chapter 8). This is followed by the tests of our research hypotheses and presentation of the main results of our analyses (chapter 9). Results reveal differences concerning the impact of “soft-sell” and “hard-sell” approaches on the target's memorization, attitude and purchase intention. These results differ in particular according to the degree of religiosity and the environmental concern of the individual. The limits of this work refer to perspectives and new avenues of research

Abstract:

L'intégration des immigrés dans les sociétés occidentales est devenue un enjeu politique. Dans cette recherche, nous explorons la façon dont les femmes immigrées Maghrébines vivant en France négocient leur identité religieuse par la consommation et le choix des magasins. Nous nous focalisons plus particulièrement sur les premières et deuxièmes générations des immigrées Maghrébines aux niveaux de religiosité différents afin de comprendre comment elles négocient leur identité religieuse dans un contexte laïque. Trente-six entretiens qualitatifs semi-directifs ont été menés avec des femmes des deux générations (dont certaines appartenant à la même famille) pour explorer leur acculturation relative à l'Islam et à la consommation. Nos résultats montrent que les immigrées Maghrébines utilisent des produits de la culture Maghrébo-Islamique (le paradis restauré) et les produits de la culture française (le pseudo paradis) pour construire des positions identitaires différentes et créer une religiosité caméléon (dans le cas des femmes G1) ou une religiosité serpentin (dans le cas des femmes G2). Nous avons également identifié le rôle que joue, entre autres, le marché français dans la fabrication des identités des immigrées Musulmanes vivant en France. Dans les dyades mèrefille, l'émergence de tensions liées à l'acculturation invite à prendre en compte la religion comme déterminant de l'identité
The integration of migrants into Western societies is increasingly becoming a political issue. In this research, we explore how Maghreb women living in France negotiate their religious identity through shopping and consumption. In particular, we focus on how first and second generations of immigrant women who have varying levels of religiosity negotiate their religious identity in the secular context. Interviews were conducted with thirty-six women in Paris (some being two generations within the same family) to explore their acculturation and inter-generational relationships in regards to Islam and consumption. First and second generations of Muslim Maghreb women use products and retail outlets choice from both Muslim Maghreb culture (the brought back heaven) and French culture (the pseudo heaven) inorder to create different identity positions that make their religiosity a chameleon/ serpentine one. We also identify the rule of French market (traditional and modern retailing) -among other factors- in fabricating Muslim Maghreb women identities. Within mother-daughter dyads, a number of inter-generational lifestyle tensions manifesting through consumption emerged indicating the need to separate religion as a determinant of identity

Abstract:

Counseling Psychology
Ph.D.
The current study compared two measures of religiosity and compared the relationship between religiosity and marital satisfaction. Religiosity was measured using two methods: monthly church attendance and The Shepherd Scale (Bassett et al., 1981). Participants consisted of at 158 married individuals selected from four Christian churches in Burlington County, New Jersey. Results confirm that a relationship exists between Christian religious beliefs and marital satisfaction: a person who has strong, conservative Christian beliefs also has high marital satisfaction. Results also show a correlation between a single-item subjective measure of marital satisfaction and the Marital Satisfaction Inventory-Revised Edition (Snyder, 1997). Beliefs and practices of the Christian faith did not better predict marital satisfaction than attendance at religious functions. Religious beliefs, religious behaviors, or number of times at church each month did not predict marital satisfaction when the Marital Satisfaction Inventory-Revised Edition (Snyder, 1997) was used to assess marital satisfaction but religious behavior predicted marital satisfaction when a single-item, subjective measure of marital satisfaction was used instead. A final finding revealed that personal prayer and time spent in joint prayer are able to predict marital satisfaction regardless of the method used to assess marital satisfaction.

Abstract:

An abundance of evidence supports that high stress levels often predict poor health, and high levels of religiosity, broadly defined, predict good health. It is possible that one mechanism by which religiosity positively impacts health is by preventing or reducing stress response. Studies measuring Surrender (Surrender to God from a Christian Religious Tradition) have shown that religiosity measured in this way is consistently negatively related to stress levels in college samples and community samples of pregnant women. The next step toward investigating a possible causal mechanism of religiosity on stress level is to experimentally manipulate religiosity. If it is found that it is possible to experimentally increase religiosity, the stage is then set to endeavor to change health and influences on health, such as stress, by such an increase. Specifically religiosity could be manipulated to determine whether changes in religiosity actually affect stress levels. Although this is the normal progression when investigating the efficacy of medical treatments, there has been significant opposition to the manipulation of religiosity. It is understandable that attempting to reduce religiosity would be unethical, but if there are potential health benefits to increasing religiosity, this field of research would seem to be worthy of investigation. The research community has been resistant to fund or even to approve such studies. Even more surprisingly, the medical community, while embracing the use of pharmacological substances to improve health or reduce disease (even for pregnant patients), remains reluctant to even investigate the efficacy of prescribed increases in religiosity, which would represent less physiological risk. Why is there this specific prejudice against religiosity as an intervention? Is it due to the lack of an observable mechanism? There are medications for which the true mechanism of effect is unclear, yet they are used because of the value of the effect. Is it because of the potentially reduced need for medical or pharmacologic intervention? Is it because it is poorly understood by many health care providers? If the ethics regarding human subjects research are embraced, a study should illustrate the potential benefits for both participants and others that outweighs any potential harm to the participants. It seems that on that basis, such experimental studies of the effects of increased religiosity on health should be considered.

Full text

Abstract:

Current psychological research into religiosity can be located into two paradigms: the cross-cultural psychology interpretive tradition and the cultural psychology interpretive tradition. To generate support for the latter paradigm, American and Mainland Chinese respondents were asked to describe a religious or spiritual other as a way of exploring the impact of individualism-collectivism cultural values on expressions of religiosity. Statements from Chinese respondents were expected to have more socially related content compared to American respondents. Responses were analyzed using a linguistic analysis computer program with attention given to social process, family, friends, and humans content. Raters were also instructed to generate categories based on the content of the responses. No significant differences were found between American and Mainland Chinese respondents on all four content categories. Religious self-rating was found to significantly predict family content, while religious and spiritual self-ratings significantly predicted humans content. Raters also generated 11 categories from American responses, and 10 categories from Mainland Chinese responses. Methodological and theoretical implications are also discussed.

Croxton, James A. "A New Measure of Mature Religiosity." TopSCHOLAR®, 1986. http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/1669.

Full text

Abstract:

In this study, a new measure of mature religiosity was created. One hundred and fifty students were administered an 80 item scale based upon a consensus meaning of mature religiosity. The results of this administration were factor analyzed. Seven First Order Factors and two Second Order Factors emerged which could be adequately assessed by 50 of the 80 item. The revised 50 item scale was administered to 130 students. During the same administration, the students also responded to measures of personal maturity (Dogmatism Scale, Internal-External Locus of Control Scale, Social Desirability Scale) and other measures of mature religiosity (Intrinsic-Extrinsic Religious Orientation Scale, Interactional Scale from the Religious Life Inventory). One factor was found to overlap with the Intrinsic Religious Orientation Scale. It is also related to both the Interactional Scale and the Extrinsic Religious Orientation Scale, but the correlation was not enough to indicate duplication of those scales. The new scale was also found to be correlated with the Internal-External Locus of Control Scale, the Social Desirability Scale, and to be negatively correlated with the Dogmatism Scale.

Full text

Abstract:

Very little research has analyzed the conjunction of religion and self-disclosure. Following the previous research conducted by Gregory II, Pomerantz, Pettibone, and Segrist (2008), in which results showed that participants were more willing to seek treatment from a psychologist who identified with one of three major religions (Christianity, Islam, and Judaism), as opposed to a psychologist who identified as an atheist, this study also aimed to focus on the impact of a therapist’s religion on prospective clients. While remaining true to the previous study, this experiment not only looked to expose the client’s preference towards therapists’ religion, it equally accounted for the degree of devotion to said religion influencing the client’s choice of therapy. Results concluded that different from that of the Gregory et al., (2008) study, participants were just as willing to seek treatment from a psychologist who identified as atheist as they were from a psychologist who identified with one of the three major religions, regardless of participant religiosity or the religiosity of the therapist. Implications of these findings suggest that regardless of psychologists’ religion or religiosity, self-disclosure of such is of no significance.

Full text

Abstract:

Women who have experienced sexual trauma may have an increased risk of psychological symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and increased alcohol use (e.g., Resnick, Acierno, & Kilpatrick, 1997). Religiosity has been shown to be a possible mechanism of coping with traumatic life events (Ano & Vasconcelles, 2005; Chang et al., 2001). The current study hypothesized that sexual trauma would predict higher levels of anxiety, depression, and alcohol use, and religiosity would mediate this relationship. An international sample of 736 women were recruited via social media. The overall model was significant R2= .01, (F(1, 734) = 4.06, p < .044); regression analyses in SPSS using PROCESS revealed that sexual trauma was a significant predictor of both anxiety (b = 2.62, SE =.46, p < .001), and religiosity (b = -.71, SE =.35 , p < .044), and religiosity also predicted lower levels of anxiety (b = -.10, SE = .05, p < .037). Religiosity was found to significantly mediate the relationship between sexual trauma and anxiety, b = .071, SE = .05, 95% CI [-.002, .182], but not between depression or alcohol use. Findings confirm the relationship between sexual trauma and anxiety and further identify religiosity as an important mediator of this relationship. Future interventions should consider implementing religiosity as a way to buffer the relationship between trauma and anxiety.

Full text

Abstract:

Previous research has looked at religiosity and attempted to better understand it's relationship with mental well being. Research on the relationship between anxiety, religiosity and guilt has produced widely differing results. The present study explored the possibility of an interaction between state anxiety and type of religiosity on guilt feelings. Three-hundred-eight participants were measured for state anxiety, type of religiosity (intrinsic or extrinsic) and guilt level. Results initially did not indicate significant interaction; however a large number of participants were noted to be atheist and agnostic. When the 170 participant religious sample was isolated from the non religious participants, a significant interaction was found between state anxiety and intrinsic religiosity on guilt. Explanations for this are discussed, looking at the possible effect that a large number of atheists and agnostics had on the primary sample, as well as discussing ideas for future research.

Full text

Abstract:

This research study aimed to examine Orthodox Jewish couples in context of attributions and marital attributions to address gaps in the literature regarding Orthodox Jews as a multicultural group in general, and their experiences of marriage in particular. A cross sectional design was utilized to consider the impact of both an individual's and his or her partner's cognitions on relationship satisfaction among marrieds. It was hypothesized that religiosity has a positive influence on optimism, marital attributions, and marital satisfaction, and that both actor and partner effects will be present for optimism and marital attributions. Specifically, marital satisfaction would be influenced positively by an individual's higher optimism scores and positive marital attributions as well as his or her partner's optimism and marital attributions, respectively. A total of 70 couples (N = 140) completed the survey and were included in analysis. Regression data indicated that religiosity was related to optimism, marital attributions, and marital satisfaction together, R² = .081, F(3, 130) = 3.82, p = .012, but pathways did not indicate statistical significance for individual predictors. The data did not indicate a statistically significant actor or partner effects of optimism on marital satisfaction for husbands or wives. Actor effects for marital attributions on marital satisfaction were found for Orthodox Jewish husbands (β = –0.10, SE = 0.02, p < .01) and wives (β = –0.07, SE = 0.03, p < .01) but no partner effects were found, perhaps indicating a proximity effect.

Full text

Abstract:

Existing research has revealed a robust relationship between high religiosity and negative attitudes towards sexual minorities. To date, however, there have been few studies investigating this relationship within the membership of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the LDS Church). The unique history, doctrine, and organization of this religion, along with its large size, rapid growth, and sizable influence, indicate that a study of homophobia among church members will provide additional information about the relationship between religiosity and negative attitudes. These data will shed additional light on the make-up and nature of homophobia, offer insight into the relationship between religious and homophobic attitudes and behaviors, and better inform mental health professionals working with individuals identifying as members of the LDS Church, as members of a sexual minority, or as members of both groups. The following research includes the administration of a survey to college-age LDS church members gathering data regarding several dimensions of LDS religiosity, several dimensions of attitudes towards sexual minorities, and demographic data. Subsequent analysis of the gathered data has clarified the nature of the relationship between the measured dimensions of LDS religiosity and homophobia, specifically, that overall LDS religiosity correlates positively with negative attitudes towards sexual minorities, and that some individual dimensions of religiosity, particularly commitment to the LDS Church, are particularly predictive of negative attitudes.

Abstract:

Abstract This present study was conducted to examine the relationship between religious involvement and empathy towards victims of crime. There was a total sample size of 84 individuals that participated in an online survey. Religiosity was measured using the Belief into Action scale. Empathy towards victims of crime was observed using the Victim Impact Scale. A Pearson correlation showed no significant relationship between religious involvement and empathy towards victims. There was, however, a negative significant correlation between Accountability score and percent of income given to religious causes (r=-.297, p=.011), victim blaming and how much time is spent in religious volunteering (r=-.261, p=.025), knowledge of victim-related facts and how often one attends religious services (r=-.263, p=.029), percent of income given to religious causes (r=-.301, p=.012), and time spent in religious volunteering (r=-.312, p=.01).

Abstract:

The present study examined the relationship between religiosity and competition anxiety in college athletes and whether there were differences in competitive anxiety for intrinsically religious, extrinsically religious, and non-religious individuals. College athletes (N= 110) from football, softball, and basketball from the NCAA division I and III completed a questionnaire that included the Age-Universal I/E scale, the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 Revised, open-ended questions on habits related to religion, and demographic items. The questionnaire was completed one week prior to an upcoming competition for all athletes. Results revealed no significant relationship between intrinsic religiosity and extrinsic religiosity and competitive anxiety. There was also no significant difference between intrinsic, extrinsic, and non-religious participants on competitive anxiety. Results showed that 70% of participants reported praying before games to feel comfort, confident, protection, drive and passion, and to show gratitude.

Full text

Abstract:

The current investigation examined the relations between adolescent reports of parent religiosity and parenting processes, using both a dimensional and a typological conceptualization of parenting. Self‐report data were collected from 357 late adolescents. Partial correlations indicated that parent religiosity was associated with both parenting dimensions and parenting styles in conceptually expected directions. Regression analyses provided evidence that the dimensional conceptualization of parenting explained additional variability in perceived parental religiosity above and beyond parenting style effects. Findings suggest that a dimensional conceptualization of parenting processes extends the literature on parent religiosity because it yields more nuanced information about how parental religiosity may be related to differentiated parenting behaviors. Potential therapeutic implications of the findings are discussed.

Abstract:

Empathy is considered an important aspect of social interactions thus allowing social harmony and understanding however, little is known about what factors influence its development. This study examined how a child's gender, religiosity, and spirituality affect their level of empathy. A total of 79, nine- to 12-year-old students, from two rural school districts, completed questionnaires with parents providing additional information. Results indicate that the children's reported level of spirituality is not related to their reported level of empathy. Their particular religion was also not related to empathy. Additionally, Catholics and other religions were not significantly different from Protestants in terms of reported levels of spirituality. Gender was found to be significantly related to empathy, with females earning higher empathy scores than males. However, gender was not significantly related to spirituality. Although this study did not find factors related to the development of empathy, it is still important to continue research in order to determine what factors are involved. If we can learn what factors positively contribute to the development of empathy, we can support those factors in order to assist all children in becoming more empathic contributors to our society.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine relations between adolescent religiosity and pornography use, and the roles of self-regulation, attitudes towards pornography, and social control as mediators of these relations. It was hypothesized that religiosity would protect adolescents from exposure to pornography by increasing their self-regulation capacity, their conservative attitudes about pornography, and their perceived social norms regarding pornography. The sample consisted of 419 adolescents (ages 15 - 18 years; M age = 15.68, SD = .98; 56% male) recruited online from across the U.S. Participants completed an online survey. All variables were bivariately associated as expected. Path models were used to examine the hypotheses regarding links between religiosity (religious internalization, religious involvement, and religious salience) and pornography use (purposeful and accidental) by way of mediators (self-regulation, attitudes towards pornography, and social control). This proposed model was partially supported by the analyses. Models without direct effects from the religiosity variables to pornography use fit the data as well as those with the direct paths, and thus the full mediation models were preferred (as they were more parsimonious). Religious salience had the strongest bivariate relationships while religious internalization revealed the most significant indirect paths. Religious involvement had the strongest indirect paths in the models. Attitudes towards pornography had the most effects as a mediator for purposeful pornography viewing, though all mediators played some role. For accidental pornography viewing, social control had the most effects, with attitudes towards pornography having no effect at all. The findings suggest that religiosity may protect adolescents from purposeful and accidental exposure to pornography, and that self-regulation, attitudes towards pornography, and social control may serve as mechanisms underlying these protective effects.

Abstract:

An exploratory study was conducted to augment the current literature on religiosity and spirituality by identifying and systematically measuring the salient variables and underlying constructs regarding spirituality and religion in African American families and their children between the ages of 7 to 12. The study examined psychosocial correlates, such as self-esteem and ethnic identity, and their impact on religiosity and spirituality. This study sought to validate the Age-Universal I/E Scale for use with African American children occurred with this study and pilot the African American Children's Ethnic Identity Scale (ACHEIDS). Through qualitative and quantitative research this study found multiple correlations associated with religion, spirituality, age, gender, aspects of self-esteem, and ethnic identity. Regression analyses were also conducted to identify predictive variables associated with the I/E.

Abstract:

Pender’s health promotion model guided this descriptive/correlational study exploring the relationship between religiosity and health-promoting behaviors of pregnant women at Pregnancy Resource Centers (PRCs). A consecutive sample included women who knew they were pregnant at least 2 months, could read/write English, and visited PRCs in eastern Pennsylvania. Participants completed self-report surveys that examined religiosity, demographics, pregnancy-related variables, services received at PRCs, and health-promoting behaviors. Women reported they “sometimes” or “often” engaged in health-promoting behaviors, Hispanic women reported fewer health-promoting behaviors than non-Hispanic women, and women who attended classes at the centers reported more frequent health-promoting behaviors than those who did not attend classes. In separate multiple linear regressions, organized, non-organized, and intrinsic religiosity and satisfaction with surrender to God explained additional variance in health-promoting behaviors above and beyond what Hispanic ethnicity and attending classes at the PRCs explained in pregnant women at PRCs.

Abstract:

In this study, the relationship between essentialism, religious beliefs, and views of change was investigated. Participants were given surveys containing three sets of items and a demographic questionnaire. Item sets included the Intrinsic/Extrinsic-Revised Scale of Religiosity, the Essentialist Belief Scales, and the Change Vignettes. Results indicated those with gradualist religious views were not more likely to endorse essentialist views when compared to those with conversionist views. Those who essentialized at high levels were not less likely to endorse the possibility of change in comparison to those who essentialized at lower levels. Participants with high levels of extrinsic religiosity were not more likely to demonstrate essentialist beliefs as compared to those with low levels of extrinsic religiosity. In addition, individuals did not view change as more plausible as they were determined to be more intrinsically religious. No relationship was found between religious affiliation and views of change or measures of essentialist thought. Those belonging to Fundamentalists and Liberalist denominational groups were found to be similar in regard to beliefs about change, and essentialism, as well as intrinsic and extrinsic religiosity. Those classified as Others were significantly different from Fundamentalist and Liberalists, excluding ratings of the importance of good deeds.

Full text

Abstract:

An abundance of evidence supports that stress predicts poor health, and religiosity, broadly defined, typically predicts good health. It is possible that one mechanism by which religiosity positively impacts health is through reduction in or prevention of the stress response, and that Surrender (Surrender to God) is a measure that captures aspects of religiosity that would predict lowered stress levels. In the present investigation, two samples were studied in order to investigate the relationship between one characterization of religiosity (Surrender) and stress. Participants in Study 1 were 460 (306 female) Southern Appalachian undergraduate university students who completed the Surrender Scale (Wong-McDonald & Gorsuch, 2000) and the State–Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI, Spielberger, 1983) online during spring 2009. Study 2 utilized a high-risk (low income and/or high pregnancy risk) sample of 230 pregnant women involved in a longitudinal study who completed the Surrender Scale and the Prenatal Psychosocial Profile (PPP, Curry, Campbell, & Christian, 1994), which contains an 11-item stress measure, during their first research contact early in pregnancy. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that Surrender was consistently inversely related to stress on both the STAI and the PPP. These findings contribute to the current understanding of the religiosity–health association in two ways. First, they offer support for Surrender and its associated lower stress levels to be explored as a mechanism by which religiosity influences health. Second, findings support the exploration of the potential for stress reduction through increasing Surrender in reportedly religious individuals.

Abstract:

Personal characteristics of mental health professionals can impact their attitudes toward juvenile sex offenders (JSOs) and affect treatment. The correlation between mental health professionals' religiosity and their attitudes has not been examined, and there is limited research about the correlation between professionals' gender and attitudes. The purpose of this study was to examine how mental health professionals' religiosity and gender related to their attitudes toward JSO treatment. Labeling theory provided the theoretical foundation for this study. This theory posits that individuals label certain populations, such as sex offenders, as deviant and this labeling perpetuates a cycle of criminal behavior. Using a quantitative approach, 123 mental health professionals completed an Internet survey that included demographic information, the Santa Clara Strength of Religious Faith Questionnaire, and the Attitudes Toward Treatment of Sex Offenders survey. These served to identify gender and measure religiosity and attitudes toward JSO treatment. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis was then used to examine the research questions and hypotheses. There were no statistically significant findings about how participants' religiosity and gender relate to their attitudes toward JSO treatment. However, further analyses revealed that type of profession and race of the participants affected their attitudes toward treatment. The findings can guide training programs to educate professionals that personal characteristics may affect their attitudes toward treatment. The potential for social change is that professionals' increased awareness may improve treatment effectiveness, which might ultimately lower offenders' recidivism and increase protection for the public.

Full text

Abstract:

Research has consistently demonstrated a negative association between religiosity and college students’ alcohol consumption. However, few studies have explored the unique roles religious beliefs and behaviors might play in this relationship. Using 283 underage college students, we investigated the influence of internal and external factors on drinking behaviors for students with differing combinations of religious beliefs and religious behaviors. Tests of mediation and mediated-moderation were used to help explain the unique influences beliefs and behaviors have on alcohol consumption. Results indicated that religious beliefs only functioned as a protective-factor against underage drinking when accompanied by religious behaviors; students with high religious beliefs but low religious behaviors exhibited the highest rates of alcohol consumption. Positive affect experienced during alcohol consumption mediated the relationship between religious beliefs and alcohol consumption. Drinking norms and social availability of alcohol mediated the association between religious behaviors and alcohol consumption. Both positive affect and negative affect were found to partially mediate the interaction between religious beliefs and behaviors on student alcohol consumption. Findings from this study may aid in the formulation of a more comprehensive model for the relationship between religiosity and alcohol consumption in young college students.

Full text

Abstract:

Substance use and abuse are detriments to both the individual and society as a whole. Religiosity and spirituality are complex, multi-layered concepts that are important to explore as protective factors against substance use and important factors that curtail individuals from drug use, motivating them to enter into substance abuse treatment. The data on religious/spiritual attitudes and preferences and on the use of different classes of substances were collected from a national sample. Spearman correlations indicated that drug use recency, lifetime use, and seeking substance abuse treatment correlated with religiosity/spirituality factors. All correlations were relatively weak but significant; thus, the null hypotheses were rejected. Other factors may play an important role in individuals’ use of substances or their decision to undergo treatment. This study has implications for future practice, as the findings imply that the treatment for substance use should consider a holistic view of individuals. Incorporating holistic perspective into the treatment and programs to prevent lifetime use of substances and promote successful drug treatment could be more effective compared to non-holistic approaches.

Full text

Abstract:

Religiosity has been researched in relation to psychological well-being through assessing cognitive and behavioural components of religion (e.g. prayer). The lack of consensus in defining and measuring religiosity is a complex matter. Different forms of religiosity are measured in relation to positive and negative psychological well-being. The literature review identifies orthodoxy and spirituality as two forms of religiosity. Research is examined in detail to establish how orthodoxy relates to negative well-being whereas, spirituality associates with positive well-being. Shame is a distressing emotion that involves negative evaluations of the self. Whereas, self-compassion is contrasted in that a positive relationship with the self is evident. Since shame and self-compassion are opposite constructs the prediction was that orthodoxy may relate to greater shame and lower self-compassion, whereas spirituality may associate with lower shame and greater self-compassion. The empirical research explored how both forms of religiosity; orthodoxy and spirituality relate to shame and self-compassion in South Asian (SA) Muslim women. The study’s qualitative component explored the conceptualisation of shame. The results show that orthodoxy and spirituality are related yet distinct entities. Greater shame associates with lower self-compassion. No significant association was detected between shame and both forms of religiosity. Orthodoxy negatively correlated with self-compassion. That is a unique finding since this had never been researched previously. The qualitative component enabled the development of a process model for shame experience pertinent to this population that may be relevant for clinical practice. Implications of these findings, the study’s limitations and recommendations for future research are debated.

Abstract:

The present exploratory study examined adverse childhood experiences and religiosity in a sample of individuals from Southern Appalachia. Self-reports of childhood adversity and intrinsic religion were obtained from 167 individuals. Results showed that fifty-five percent had not experienced a childhood adversity while forty-three percent had experienced one to five episodes. Although a little under half the sample had one or more adverse experiences, there was no significant relationship between ACEs and intrinsic religion (r= -.037, p= .631). Sex and intrinsic religion were significantly related in that men endorsed the use of intrinsic religiosity more than women (t(165)= -2.28, p= .005).

Full text

Abstract:

The Gender Role Stress paradigm asserts that individuals experience distress when they cannot or do not want to live up to the roles prescribed to their gender, and this stress is related to Gender Role Ideology. Within American Christian culture, gender roles are socialized and shaped according to tradition and the Bible. To investigate the intersection of these factors, Christian adults will respond to questionnaires about their Gender Role Ideology, Gender Role Stress, and religiosity. Significant positive correlational relationships between Gender Role Ideology and Gender Role Stress, between religiosity and Gender Role Ideology, and between religiosity and Gender Role Stress are expected for both men and women. However, Gender Role Ideology is expected to partially mediate any relationship found between religiosity and Gender Role Stress. This will imply that for Christian individuals, religiosity and Christianity are related to Gender Role Stress but this relationship is dependent on an individual’s beliefs about gender roles. Implications and further directions are discussed, including spiritual gender role negotiation and the sanctification paradigm.

Abstract:

With divorce rates increasing among Christian marriages, it is important to identify the significant factors of this phenomenon. At the time when this study was conducted, there was a need to explore the impact of religiosity in Christian marriages on the likelihood to divorce. Religiosity was expected to affect a couple’s interaction, which plays a fundamental role in the partners’ relationship and marital satisfaction. The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to determine whether and to what degree there is a relationship between the level of religiosity of married Christians in the United States and those couples’ likelihood to divorce. The theoretical foundation of the study was the concept of religiosity as a cognitive dimension. The researcher collected predictor data for religiosity using the Santa Clara Strength of Religious Faith Questionnaire and criterion data for the likelihood to divorce using the Wallace Marital Adjustment Test (LWMAT). The study sample was comprised of 100 Christian individuals from the United States. The data analysis involved bivariate correlations and simple linear regression. The results showed a significant negative correlation between the level of religiosity and the likelihood to divorce of married Christians in the United States, r = -0.26, p = 0.004. The level of religiosity was a significant negative predictor of the likelihood to divorce, F (1, 98) = 7.16, p = 0.01, R² = 0.07. The findings of this study may be used in premarital and marital counseling to facilitate marital adjustment and decrease the likelihood to divorce.

Full text

Abstract:

Up to this point much of what has been learned regarding individuals' stress responses has been derived from the study of individuals who have suffered from psychopathology or physical illness. Recent research, however, has demonstrated a shift in focus toward individuals who effectively cope with stressful experiences. For example, previous research has identified a type of "conversion" process whereby an initially traumatic event is evaluated and later recognized to have positive effects through its assimilation into a new cognitive framework emphasizing psychological growth and adaptation. The present study investigated the conversion phenomenon, examining the relationship between older and younger subjects' perceptions of significant events and their current level of mental health, self-esteem and religious orientation. Results found conversion to be related to religiosity but not to age, self-esteem or transient mental health status. The findings are discussed and implications for future research are identified.

Abstract:

Parenting practices greatly influence child behavior. It is important to study the relationship between parenting practices and child behavior in specific religious contexts. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) have not been extensively studied in the psychological literature despite there being a relatively large number of LDS individuals in the U.S. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of religiosity on parenting practices and child behavior outcomes in an LDS sample. The influence of perfectionism on religiosity and parenting practices was also studied. The relationship between parents’ interpretation of the bible and their view on God’s involvement in their parenting was also examined. The Qualtrics Online Sample Tool was used to recruit participants for this study. The 210 participants completed an online survey. The results indicated that a more literal interpretation of the bible was associated with a perception of increased involvement from God in one’s role as a parent and increased religiosity. The perception of increased involvement from God in one’s role as a parent was also associated with increased religiosity. Higher levels of parental religious beliefs and spiritual experiences had a positive impact on parenting practices and child behavior. However, religious behavior had a negative impact on parenting practices and child behavior. High levels of perfectionism were associated with more effective parenting practices in individuals high in religious belief and spiritual experiences while high levels of perfectionism led to less effective parenting practices in individuals high in religious behavior. Given the overall high levels of ineffective parenting practices and child disruptive behavior that were reported in the sample, encouraging LDS parents to attend parenting classes may be an appropriate recommendation.

Abstract:

Increasing stress levels over the past 30 years have reached an all-time high, which has also correlated with an increase in medical insurance costs due to the adverse effects on life expectancy, obesity rates, and non-communicable disease deaths. An additional social problem affecting the U.S. is a 20-year increase in political dichotomy. Research has shown a distinction between liberals and conservatives on a variety of characteristics ranging from sleep patterns, disgust, personality, and even cleanliness. This current study used two other characteristics that correlate with both stress and political orientation, and they are happiness and religiosity. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between perceived stress, happiness, religiosity, and political orientation. Two theories chosen for this study included System Justification Theory (SJT) and Moral Foundations Theory (MFT). Both theories relate to the differences between liberals and conservatives on happiness, religion, and morality. This study had 201 participants recruited via Amazon's MTurk and used a hierarchical multiple regression model, which includes the following psychometric instruments: Perceived Stress Scale-10, Subjective Happiness Scale, Satisfaction With Life Scale, Religious Orientation Scale (Intrinsic and Extrinsic), and the Modified Wilson-Patterson Inventory. There was a significant effect found between intrinsic religiosity and conservative political orientation. In assisting social and behavioral scientists at better understanding stress differences and how humans cope in unique ways, positive social change is made possible by mitigating stress levels and therefore decreasing healthcare costs.

Abstract:

The internalization of heterosexism places lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals at disproportionately higher risks of depression and self-destructive behaviors. For LGB Christians, this phenomenon is often exacerbated. Although literature on heterosexism has increased, little research has examined more insular, religious environments. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between Christian denominational religiosity and heterosexism and to compare the degree of religiosity and heterosexism between members of 5 Christian denominations and between same-sex sexuality perspectives in the southern United States. Guided by the attribution theory, a correlational, cross-sectional survey design was used to analyze degree of religiosity and heterosexism among 225 self-identifying Christians as measured by the Religiosity Measure and Attitudes Toward Lesbians and Gay Men Scale. A Pearson Correlation revealed a large, positive relationship between religiosity and heterosexism. Two ANOVAs revealed significant differences in degrees of religiosity among denominations and same-sex sexuality perspective, in addition to significant differences in degrees of heterosexism among denominations and same-sex sexuality perspectives. Implications for positive social change center on illuminating the effects of heterosexism in insular environments, which may contribute to the understanding of heterosexist ideology including heteronormative assumptions that are replete throughout the United States, including mental health professions. Moreover, LGB Christians may particularly benefit from understanding the variability and distinctions within denominational religiosity, such that denominational choices become evident and viable options.
