General and gender-specific dynamics determining the health status of employed family caregivers
We examined whether gender plays a role in how financial strain moderates the relationship between health status and objective burden among employed family caregivers. Using data from "Caregiving in the U.S., 2015," the sample included 704 employed caregivers (311 males and 393 females) of adults 50 years of age and older. The relationship between objective caregiver burden and self-reported health was moderated by financial strain in the full sa…
Age, stereotypes, and nutritional supplements use among middle age and older women
As aging women take relatively high counts of medications and nutritional supplements, each addition to their supplements roster increases the likelihood of experiencing adverse health outcomes. Given these public health implications, we isolate the effects of chronological age and old age stereotypes in driving up the number of nutritional supplements taken by middle age and older women in the United States. We use multiple models that converge …
Participation in combat, god-mediated control beliefs, and alcohol consumption
The purpose of this study is to see if God-mediated control beliefs moderate the relationship between participation in combat and alcohol intake. God-mediated control refers to the belief that people can work together with God to deal with the problems that confront them and the plans they make. The data are from a nationwide probability sample of adults age 18 and older (N = 2,752). The findings suggest that the magnitude of the relationship bet…
Attributing Problem-Solving to God, Receiving Social Support, and Stress-Moderation
This research note explores the stress-moderating effects of attributing a problem-solving role to God among a nationwide sample of 2,260 Americans. Specifically, the ways in which the perception of 'God-as-a-problem-solver' moderates stress is explored for Americans reporting low and high levels of social support from other people. Within a model that interacts two moderators (i.e., a moderated moderation analysis), two predictions are tested th…
God, Purpose in Life, and Mental Well-Being Among Older Adults
This research note uses mixed methods on data from a nationwide sample of 1,525 Americans age 40 and older to make two theoretical contributions to the literatures on purpose and religion. First, by categorizing open-ended responses to an item asking 'Please describe a few of the things, feelings, ideas, etc. that give you a sense of purpose in your life,' we present a categorization framework to group sources of purpose (SPs) in life. Next, we r…
Public religious activities, stress, and mental well-being in the United States
Religious reframing is applying religious beliefs to an assessment of stressful personal situations. If public religious activities (e.g., religious volunteering) meet the necessary criteria to enable religious reframing, they may serve to limit (or “buffer”) the negative impact of stressors (e.g., family conflict) on mental well-being. Based on this dynamic, two out of three public religious activities (i.e., religious volunteering and religious…
Religious Service Attendance Aids Coping by Providing a Sense of Continuity
We propose that religious service attendance (RSA) serves as a coping resource by providing a sense of continuity. As a source of continuity, and per the stress-support matching hypothesis, RSA should consistently buffer the negative mental well-being impacts of stressors related to discontinuity-the disruption of regular routines and relationships. Most, but not all, of the relevant previous studies we reviewed found that RSA served as an effect…

The logic of inference in criminal justice statistics
An approach to teaching criminal justice statistics is advanced that focuses on broad similarities between all inferential tests. Tests of inference include all processes in which a hypothesis is generated and, ultimately, rejected or not. The process of a criminal trial, which is an inferential test, is employed as an extended analogy, through which specific statistical concepts are introduced. The advantages to criminal justice students of lear…
