  • Religion, Spirituality, and Well-Being in Sexual Minorities

    Open AccessDavid K Mosher, Sydney Solberg et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychology and Theology2026

    Religion is generally associated with meaning in life and overall well-being and has been shown to result in better physical and mental health outcomes. However, the benefits that religion/spirituality offers may be more nuanced for sexual minorities. As evidenced by the minority stress theory, sexual minorities likely experience external and internal struggles, including discrimination within a majority of religious spaces. These struggles can c…

    Open AccessDavid K Mosher, Joshua N Hook et al.ARTICLEThe Counseling Psychologist2021References: 64

    Natural disasters can disrupt and challenge survivors’ core belief systems, leading to negative health consequences.

Therefore, the current longitudinal, mixed-methods study utilized an experimental design with rando…

  • Cultural Humility of Religious Communities and Well-Being in Sexual Minority Persons

    Open AccessDavid K Mosher, James M Mcconnell et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychology and Theology2019

    Cultural humility has been shown to enhance cross-cultural relationships, but little research has explored how individuals perceive the cultural humility of a salient group. In the current study, we examined how perceptions of the cultural humility of a religious community affect the well-being of sexual minorities, who frequently experience discrimination, minority stress, and relational conflict in faith communities. As predicted, results indic…

  • Exploring Social Belonging and Meaning in Religious Groups

    Open AccessHansong Zhang, Joshua N Hook et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychology and Theology2019

    Participation in religious groups may help religious individuals experience higher levels of belonging and meaning. The current study explored how the makeup of religious groups as either ideologically homogeneous or diverse influences belonging and meaning, and also tested religious intellectual humility as a possible moderator of this relationship. Participants (N = 229) were randomly assigned to imagine themselves participating in an ideologic…

  • The Transgressor's Response to Denied Forgiveness

    Open AccessDavid J Jennings, Everett L Worthington et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychology and Theology2016

    The study of forgiveness has flourished in recent years, but little is known about how transgressors respond when their request for forgiveness is denied. Two studies examined how transgressors react to a denied request for forgiveness in romantic relationships. Across both studies, when participants were denied forgiveness or delayed in receiving a forgiving response, they exhibited differences in the degree to which they held unforgiving motiva…
