Transcendent Accountability and Pro-Community Attitudes: Assessing the Link Between Religion and Community Engagement
Prior research has established a positive relationship between religiosity and civic engagement but focused on public religiosity rather than private religiosity without explaining the relationship. We examined private religiosity as well as public religiosity in relation to community engagement, explaining the religiosity-community engagement relationship with two understudied mechanisms: "transcendent accountability" (seeing oneself as accounta…
Explaining the Relationship between Religiosity and Political Participation: The Mediating Roles of Transcendent Accountability and Religiopolitical Awareness
Prior research tends to find a positive relationship between religiosity and political participation. Explanations of this relationship have focused mostly on religiosity-generated organizational resources (e.g., civic skills), while paying less attention to psychological resources. We simultaneously examined different aspects of religiosity (belief, behavior, and belonging) and political participation (electoral and nonelectoral) in a structural…

Protecting America’s borders: Christian nationalism, threat, and attitudes toward immigrants in the United States
Attitudes toward immigrants and immigration policies are divisive issues in American politics. These attitudes are influenced by factors such as political orientation and religiousness, with religious and conservative individuals demonstrating higher prejudice toward immigrants and refugees, and endorsing stricter immigration policies. Christian nationalism, an ideology marked by the belief that America is a Christian nation, may help explain how…
Attitudes Toward Separating Immigrant Families at the United States–Mexico Border
The primary aims of this project were to estimate levels of agreement or opposition with immigrant family separation at the U.S.–Mexico border and to identify psychological variables that account for variability in attitudes toward immigrant family separation. In Study 1, a sample designed to be representative of Americans in the United States responded to a question about the zero‐tolerance policy that resulted in immigrant family separation. In…
Hell anxiety as non-pathological fear
For religious people, a concept of Hell as a place of eternal torment for the wicked is pervasive. However, very little research has explored the mental health implications of this belief. We investigate this by developing the Hell Anxiety Scale (HXS) and testing its relationship with other well-established measures of psychological functioning. Surprisingly, Hell anxiety was not related to dogmatism, religious fundamentalism, or overall religios…
Secure Attachment to God Uniquely Linked to Psychological Health in a National, Random Sample of American Adults
Relationships between religiousness and psychological health are well established. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate whether perceived relationship with God (i.e., attachment to God) or how people view God (i.e., image of God) account for variation in psychological distress and well-being. Statistical relationships between two attachment to God dimensions (avoidance, anxiety), two dimensions of God image (forgiving, wrathful), …
