Contingency and Meaning-Focused Coping
This article examines the similarities and differences between a religious-philosophical approach to contingency and a (religious) psychological approach to coping with health problems. We elaborate on theoretical and empirical developments in research on coping, meaning-focused coping and religious coping. Religious coping is seen as a special form of meaning-focused coping. These coping perspectives are related to Wuchterl’s model for dealing w…
Conceptions of Spirituality among the Dutch Population
This article explores the conceptions of spirituality in a large and representative sample ( N=2313) of the general population in the Netherlands. Spirituality is described mostly in cognitive terms (54%), especially in the form of general references to a transcendent reality (e.g. ‘more between heaven and earth’). Experiential expressions are used in more than a quarter of the descriptions. Important patterns in the descriptions are: spiritualit…
Being ‘Spiritual’ and Being ‘Religious’ in Europe
The present study shows that being 'spiritual' and being 'religious' are becoming different life orientations for a large part of the population. As far as we know, for the first time, a sample from an European country shows that these orientations are reflected in two coherent clusters of beliefs, experiences, and practices of what we call 'new spirituality' on the one hand and 'traditional, church-related religion' on the other hand. In additio…
New Spirituality and Social Engagement
New spirituality has often been accused of being egocentric and thus lacking incentives for social engagement. The discussion on this subject is tangled because authors differ in specifying who they are writing about and what the criticism is. After seeking an adequate demarcation of the target group (people involved in new spirituality), we established a concept of social engagement that distinguishes between behavior that is and that is not dri…

'Bridge over Troubled Water'. Further Results Regarding the Receptive Coping Scale
In this article, we describe research on the Receptivity Scale we developed in response to some of the problems we met when using Kenneth Pargament's religious coping-scales in the Netherlands (cf. Alma, Pieper & Van Uden, 2003). The main problem with Pargament's threefold conceptualisation of religious coping (self-directing, deferring and collaborative) is the underlying view of aan active, personal God. The Receptivity Scale does justice to th…
Religious Resources of Psychiatric Inpatients

The results are discussed briefly within the theoretical …

Religious Concerns Regarding Marriage in the Church
The purity of the motives of those who make a request to the rituals of the church in connection with birth, marriage, and death is frequently questioned in the pastoral-theological literature concerned with these 'hinge moments'. In a study done in The Netherlands among people who had their marriages solemnized in a church (697 were polled by means of a questionnaire and 16 were interviewed) we pursued the question as to whether this assumption …
