Types of prayer, optimism, and well-being of middle-aged and older patients undergoing open-heart surgery
To specify the psychological mechanism through which faith factors may influence health-related well-being, we followed a sample of middle-aged and older patients for their experiences associated with open-heart surgery. Structural equation modeling analysis in an earlier report demonstrated a parallel-pathway explanatory model in which preoperative optimism and acute stress response functioned as positive and negative mediators, respectively, of…
The Influence of Prayer Coping on Mental Health among Cardiac Surgery Patients: The Role of Optimism and Acute Distress
To address the inconsistent findings and based on Hegel's dialectic contradictive principle, this study tested a parallel mediation model that may underlie the association of using prayer for coping with cardiac surgery outcomes. Three sequential interviews were conducted with 310 patients who underwent open-heart surgery. A structural equation model demonstrated that optimism mediated the favorable effect of prayer coping. Prayer coping was also…

Has Children's Poverty Become More Persistent
Iffood-stamp benefits are counted as income, there is little change in estimates ofpersistent povertyfor children between the late 1960s and early 1980s. However, the absence of change in persistent poverty masks a number of important changes in the demographic and statistical structure ofpersistent poverty. These changes include increasing inequality in the distribution of permanent socioeconomic position, greater dependence on social assistance…

An Application of James-Stein Estimation to Survey Data
A procedure is examined for adjusting observed values of a sample of entities toward the overall sample mean. This procedure provides estimators with lower expected mean square errors than the ordinary least-squares estimators, at the cost of accepting a slight bias. The procedure was applied to a variety of analysis problems, using data from two sample surveys, and the performance of the adjusted estimators was compared to that of maximum likeli…
Residential Satisfaction in Relationship to Size of Place
Evidence from a national sample confirms the expectation that much of the dissatisfaction expressed by residents of large cities can be explained in terms of a set of economic factors. A competing explanation for which little supporting evidence was found is that compositional differences account for the greater dissatisfaction of urban residents. The primary mediating variable related to economic conditions is expressed level of satisfaction wit…
