Diversity of Group Memberships Predicts Well-Being
Groups have their health and well-being impacted by satisfying their members’ needs and providing resources to help cope with threats. Multiple group memberships serve to accumulate these benefits and also provide resilience to the effects of group loss. However, the additional well-being benefits of belonging to multiple different types of group remain to be determined. In a preregistered cross-sectional survey in Nottingham, England (Study 1, N…

Do you need religion to enjoy the benefits of Church services? Social bonding, morality and quality of life among religious and secular congregations
Participation in religion has frequently been associated with high levels of wellbeing.

We hypothesize that a coherent moral narrative and specific moral value…
A many-analysts approach to the relation between religiosity and well-being
The relation between religiosity and well-being is one of the most researched topics in the psychology of religion, yet the directionality and robustness of the effect remains debated.

We recruited 120 analysis teams to investigate (1) whether religious people self-report higher well-…
Researcher Degrees of Freedom in the Psychology of Religion
There is a push in psychology toward more transparent practices, stemming partially as a response to the replication crisis. We argue that the psychology of religion should help lead the way toward these new, more transparent practices to ensure a robust and dynamic subfield. One of the major issues that proponents of Open Science practices hope to address is researcher degrees of freedom (RDF). We pre-registered and conducted a systematic review…
