Perspectives of Indian Traditional and Allopathic Professionals on Religion/Spirituality and its Role in Medicine
Discovering a Blissful Island
While most of the existing research on religious involvement and happiness has been conducted in the Western, predominantly Christian setting, our study attempts to contribute to this literature by focusing on a non-Western, non-Christian society. Using a nationally representative data set from adult residents in Taiwan, we found that: (1) belief in karma was not associated with happiness; (2) belief in a supreme god was negatively linked with ha…

Does Religious Attendance Prolong Survival? A Six-Year Follow-Up Study of 3,968 Older Adults
METHODS: A probability sample of 3,968 community-dwelling adults aged 64-101 years residing in the Piedmont of North Carolina was surveyed in 1986 as part of the Established Populations for the Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly (EPESE) program of the National Institutes of Health. Attendance at religious services and a wide variety of sociodemographic and health variables were assessed at baseline. Vital status of members was then determined p…
Religious Activity and Depression among Community-Dwelling Elderly Persons with Cancer
The analyses lend support to the hypothesis that religious activity is a strong predictor of depression in elderly adults with cancer. This finding, however, is not as strong as we had anticipated
Social Correlates of the Dimensions of Depression in the Elderly
Few investigations of the social correlates of depressive symptomatology have addressed variation in the correlates across multiple dimensions of depression scales. We examined the relationships of selected social, clinical, and demographic correlates with four dimensions of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression (CES-D) scale in 3,401 community-dwelling elders in the Piedmont area of North Carolina. These correlates explained significan…
The Use of Religion and Other Emotion-Regulating Coping Strategies Among Older Adults
A stratified random sample of 100 older participants in the Second Duke Longitudinal Study was interviewed. Responses to open-ended coping questions were commonly religious in nature. For at least 1 of the 3 stressful periods inquired about, 45% of the sample mentioned a religious coping behavior. Because of the socio-demographic characteristics of participants, these results provided evidence against the generally held view that religion is rele…
Religion and Well-Being in Later Life
For 836 older adults (mean age 73.4 years), moderately strong correlations were found between morale and three religious measures: organizational religious activity, non-organizational religious activity, and intrinsic religiosity. For women and those 75 and over, religious behaviors and attitudes were particularly strong correlates of morale. Among participants age 75 and older, only health accounted for more of the explained variance than did r…
