  • Religion/Spirituality, Stress, and Resilience Among Sexual and Gender Minorities

    Open AccessG Tyler Lefevor, Chana Etengoff et al.ARTICLEPerspectives on Psychological…2023

    Although many sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) consider themselves religious or spiritual, the impact of this religiousness or spirituality (RS) on their health is poorly understood. We introduce the religious/spiritual stress and resilience model (RSSR) to provide a robust framework for understanding the variegated ways that RS influences the health of SGMs. The RSSR bridges existing theorizing on minority stress, structural stigma, and RS-he…

  • Development and Initial Validation of the Persevering Hope Scale

    Sandra Y Rueger, Everett L Worthington et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality Assessment2023

    Hope has been conceptualized as agency and pathways to achieve goals. However, this goal-directed conceptualization does not encapsulate all situations in which hope may be beneficial. To address the dispositional motivation to endure when a desired goal seems unattainable, unlikely, or even impossible (i.e., goal-transcendent hope), we provide initial psychometric evidence for the new Persevering Hope Scale (PHS). We developed and refined the PH…

  • Religiousness and psychotic experiences among young adult college students in the United States

    Open AccessHans Oh, Edward B Davis et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Social…2023

    BACKGROUND: Religiousness and psychotic experiences have been related, though findings have been mixed, with little attention paid to specific religious affiliations and religious importance. METHODS: We analyzed data from the Healthy Minds Study (2020-2021), which was an online survey administered at 140 college campuses across the United States. We used multivariable logistic regression to examine the associations between religiousness (affilia…

  • Correlates of Christian religious identification and deidentification among sexual and gender minorities

    Using a U.S. nationally representative sample of 1,529 sexual and gender minorities (SGMs), we examined the demographic and developmental correlates of Christian religious de-identification. We found that SGMs who were older, Black, cisgender men, and/or lived in the American South were more likely to identify as Christian in adulthood, relative to other SGMs. Those who were never Christian reported being more out to family and friends at earlier…

  • Robert Boyle, the Bible, and Natural Philosophy

    Open AccessEdward B DavisARTICLEReligions2023Citada por: 2Referencias: 15

    The great chemist Robert Boyle was also a serious student of the Bible and Christian theology, both of which profoundly influenced his natural philosophy. Christian beliefs and moral attitudes motivated him to extend human dominion over the creation by advancing scientific knowledge and giving medicines from his laboratory to the poor. His outspoken advocacy of empiricism, over and against those who believed that unaided reason was sufficient to …

  • Resource loss and mental health during Covid ‐19

    Open AccessStacey Mcelroy-Heltzel, Laura Shannonhouse et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Psychology2022

    Across the globe, COVID‐19 has disproportionately affected the physical and mental health of several vulnerable groups. In a series of two cross‐sectional studies conducted April to July 2020, we examined its acute mental health effects on two vulnerable U.S. community samples—home‐bound older adults who were at or below the poverty line (Study 1, N = 293, M age = 76.94, SD = 8.64; 75.1% female, 67.9% Black) and adults with chronic disease (Study…

    Richard G Cowden, Sandra Y Rueger et al.ARTICLEMental Health Religion & Culture2022

    Using data from a prospective cohort of US adults living with chronic illness (n = 184), we examined longitudinal associations between domains of resource loss assessed one month into the COVID-19 pandemic and suffering two months later. We also explored the role of positive religious coping in modifying relations between each type of resource loss and suffering, adjusting for a number of sociodemographics, chronic health conditions, religious/sp…

  • Do Religious/Spiritual Resources Moderate the Association Between Suffering and Religious/Spiritual Struggles? A Three-Wave Longitudinal Study of US Adults with Chronic Illness

    Open AccessBlake Victor Kent, Richard G Cowden et al.ARTICLEJournal for the Scientific Study…2022Citada por: 1Referencias: 70

    In this prospective study of US adults with chronic illness (n = 302), we examined the associations of subjective suffering and religious/spiritual (R/S) resources (i.e., religious coping, religious commitment, and spiritual fortitude) with the subsequent experience of R/S struggles. Using a rigorous analytic approach that involved adjusting for numerous covariates and prior values of all exposures and the outcome assessed in Wave 1, we found tha…

  • Theistic relational spirituality

    Edward B Davis, Pehr Granqvist et al.ARTICLEPsychology of Religion and…2021

    Most of the world's population identify as religious or spiritual, and most religiously affiliated believers identify with one of the world's major monotheistic traditions: Christianity, Islam, or Judaism.Within each of these traditions, especially Christianity, one important aspect of many believers' religion/spirituality is how they view and relate with God.The purpose of this paper is to describe a model of theistic relational spirituality (i.…

  • Existentially threatening stimuli increase religious cognitive dissonance among the less intrinsically religious

    Daryl R Van Tongeren, Edward B Davis et al.ARTICLEPsychology of Religion and…2021

    Religion is a primary coping resource during adversity. However, at such times, people can experience dissonance in their religious attitudes and experience. For example, people of varying religiousness may differ in how they view God doctrinally and experience God relationally (i.e., head–heart discrepancy), especially when navigating existentially threatening situations. An experiment (N = 149) examined whether the centrality of religious belie…

  • Including Multiculturalism, Social Justice, and Peace within the Integration of Psychology and Theology

    Open AccessJames M Mcconnell, Vincent Bacote et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychology and Theology2021

    Multiculturalism, social justice, and peace are important aspects of the Christian faith. However, scholars in the literature seeking to integrate psychology and Christian theology have underrepresented them. In this present article, we review barriers to including them in our psychology–theology integration literature. Thereafter, we provide a trinitarian theology of multiculturalism, social justice, and peace with a hope that theological knowle…

  • Re-imagining Integration

    Open AccessMegan Anna Neff, Mary A Peterson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychology and Theology2021

    Several explicitly Christian doctoral psychology programs exist in the United States, providing training in the integration of psychology and Christianity. The purpose of this study was to conduct a program evaluation of student and faculty perspectives on the Christian integration training in six explicitly Christian doctoral psychology programs. A total of 299 students and 51 faculty completed the Daily Spiritual Experiences Scale and a questio…

  • Perceived and actual posttraumatic growth in religiousness and spirituality following disasters

    Open AccessEdward B Davis, Daryl R Van Tongeren et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2021

    OBJECTIVE: Religious/spiritual (R/S) growth is a core domain of posttraumatic growth (PTG). However, research on R/S growth following disasters has over-relied on retrospective self-reports of growth. We therefore examined longitudinal change in religiousness/spirituality following two disasters. METHOD: Religious survivors of Hurricanes Harvey (Study 1) and Irma (Study 2) completed measures of perceived R/S PTG, general religiousness/spiritualit…

  • Suffering, Mental Health, and Psychological Well-being During the Covid-19 Pandemic

    Open AccessRichard G Cowden, Edward B Davis et al.ARTICLEWellbeing Space and Society2021

    Suffering has been a topic of considerable discussion in the fields of medicine and palliative care, yet few studies have reported causal evidence linking the experience of suffering to health and well-being. In this three-wave prospective cohort study, we explore the potential psychological implications of suffering during the COVID-19 pandemic by examining relations among suffering, mental health, and psychological well-being in a sample of U.S…
