More specifically, Vietnamese American anticommunist protest rhetoric attempts to control and police the ways…
The Sense of Mastery as a Mediator and Moderator in the Association Between Economic Hardship and Health in Late Life
Integrating the stress process model and a life course perspective, the authors argue that to fully understand protective capacity of psychosocial resources, stressors encountered at different life stages should be taken into account
Religiosity, Socioeconomic Status, and the Sense of Mastery
Using data from a representative sample of adults in Toronto, we ask, Is religiosity related to the sense of mastery? Cross-sectional analyses document a negative association between religiosity and mastery. We also test alternative predictions about the potential moderating effects of education and income (resource versus compensation ): results support the amplification hypothesis. Cross-sectional findings indicate that the negative association…
