Associations Between Changing Childhood Religions and Adult Psychopathology
We examined whether change in childhood religious affiliation (i.e., religious change) is associated with increased rates of adult psychopathology. Data were obtained from a three-generation study of families at high- and low-risk for major depressive disorder (MDD; N = 281). High-risk status was defined by diagnoses of MDD in Generation 1; low-risk by its absence. Diagnostic clinical interviews were collected over 40 years. Self-report measures …

Mental Health of High-Risk Urban Youth
Religiosity and Depression at Midlife

Here, the authors follow up the original study sample to examine the association between R/S and major depression from middle adulthood into midlife. Method: Participants were 79 of 114 original adult offspring of depressed and non-depressed parents.…

Partnering With Black Churches to Increase Access to Care
Vicarious memories
People not only have vivid memories of their own personal experiences, but also vicarious memories of events that happened to other people. To compare the phenomenological and functional qualities of personal and vicarious memories, college students described a specific past event that they had recounted to a parent or friend, and also an event that a friend or parent had recounted to them. Although ratings of memory vividness, emotional intensit…
