Temporal dynamics of experiencing reconciliation with god after personal wrongdoing
Experiences of reconciliation with god
Divine forgiveness is central to Christian faith yet remains understudied psychologically.This study examined incident-specific experiences of reconciling with God among Christians from culturally and religiously diverse contexts, guided by the Relational Spirituality Model of Personal Sin, which conceptualizes reconciliation as emerging from cognitive-emotional appraisals involving the self, personal sin, God, and other people.Participants were …
Can religion decrease distress and increase flourishing in times of pandemic? A three-wave longitudinal study of religious commitment in Indonesia
Associations of self‐forgiveness processes with distress and well‐being outcomes
To date, few empirical studies have examined the benefits of the processes involved in self‐forgiveness—value reorientation and esteem restoration—for individual well‐being using longitudinal data from non‐Western samples. In this study, we take a step toward addressing this gap by analysing three waves of data collected among 595 Indonesians ( M age = 21.95, SD = 4.39). Applying the analytic templates for lagged exposure‐wide and outcome‐wide lo…
Effects of prayer frequency and orientations on distress and well-being
Associations of orientation to promote good in challenging situations with distress and well‐being
We examine whether an orientation to promote good serves as a potential buffer against distress and facilitator of well‐being outcomes in three non‐Western samples with a recent history of conflict (Indonesia, Colombia, Mexico) and across three different time frames (1, 4 and 12 months). Longitudinal surveys provided data for cross‐lagged panel modelling. A series of sensitivity analyses provided evidence for the robustness of results. Persons wi…
Everyday Theology in Cultural Context
Forgiveness is a universal virtue that appears in most cultures and religions but with cultural particularities. The current pilot research uses a mixed-methods approach to describe variations in everyday theologies of forgiveness across culture. Universal understandings of forgiveness were documented among Study 1 participants who represented three American Christian subcultures (Brazilian-Americans, Chinese-Americans, and American students), re…
Exploring emerging adults’ relational spirituality
Using a longitudinal, mixed-methods design and building on Shults and Sandage’s (2006) relational spirituality model, we explored spiritual seeking, spiritual dwelling, and the dialectical process of balancing spiritual seeking and dwelling. Assessing a sample of 77 Christian emerging adults twice over a 2-year period (thirty-nine 2006 graduates and thirty-eight 2008 graduates), we quantitatively measured spiritual seeking (using the Quest Scale)…
A Relationally Integrated Systems Model for Faith and Learning in Developmental Psychology
In writing this paper, we were asked to talk about faith-learning integration within a developmental psychology classroom. For developmental psychologists, integration necessarily takes place on two levels: one's developmental theory, which should apply to faith development as well as development in other areas, and one's developmental practices in the classroom. This complexity is endemic to developmental psychology and yet there is a scarcity o…
The Complexity of Quest in Emerging Adults' Religiosity, Well-Being, and Identity
The construct of quest as measured by the Quest Scale raises complexities that this study addressed with online surveys measuring religiosity, ego identity, and well-being of graduates from two Christian colleges. Intrinsic questers (those above the scale midpoint in intrinsic and quest scores but below the extrinsic midpoint) made up over half of those high in intrinsic religiosity and did not differ in Christian orthodoxy, religious identity, r…
Parent-child dynamics and emerging adult religiosity
Parental religiosity has been shown to predict child and adolescent religiosity, but the role of parents in emerging adult religiosity is largely unknown. We explored associations among emerging adult religiosity, perceived parental religiosity, perceived similarity to mother's and father's religious beliefs, parental faith support, and parental attachment. Participants were 481 alumni of two Christian colleges and completed surveys online. Emerg…
Attachment to God
This study assessed emerging adults' attachment relationships with parents, peers, and God to explore the sufficiency of the correspondence and compensation models of attachment. We analyzed narratives of 119 (60 male) Christian college graduates describing their relational experiences with God. Narratives were coded for five relational patterns in attachment relationships (Granqvist & Kirkpatrick, 2008). Participants also completed the IPPA scal…
Folk conceptions of virtue among Cambodian American Buddhists and Christians
Hermeneutic analysis of virtuous exemplar narratives of Cambodian-American Buddhists and Christians
Virtuous exemplars embody the virtues of a cultural community, a dynamic, contextual understanding that is best explored by critical hermeneutic analysis. In order to describe their lives and refine the mental-health treatment of Cambodian immigrants, 12 virtuous exemplars from a Cambodian-American Buddhist and 12 from a Cambodian-American Christian population were interviewed. Grounded theory and a mixed-methods analysis were used. Rigor-enhanci…
Christian Views of Self and God
Twenty-four Christian college students and 24 state university students were interviewed using Gilligan's moral choice paradigm (Brown et al., 1988). Justice narratives predominated among the Christian college students; among the state university students, care and justice narratives were equally prominent. Eight state university students articulated belief in the Christian God. These state university Christians described themselves less often in…
