Longitudinal trajectories of adult sibling relationship quality and psychological well‐being: The effect of childhood maltreatment
Religious Support Moderates the Long Reach of Adverse Childhood Events on Physical Health in Middle to Late Adulthood
Don't bring me down: Effects of priming secure and anxious attachment on body image
Ample evidence has shown that secure attachment is related to more positive body-related attitudes in women. However, existing studies are primarily correlational, leaving questions about causal direction unanswered. This article reports results of two experiments that tested the effects of a guided visualization priming procedure on body image. In Experiment 1, 87 female undergraduates completed a neutral prime at Time 1 and were randomly assign…
Perceived relationship with God moderates the relationship between social comparison and body appreciation
Social comparison has been shown to contribute to the negative attitudes that most Western women have towards their bodies. However, minimal research has addressed the relationship between social comparison and body appreciation, which entails holding favourable opinions towards the body, accepting the body along with its deviations from societal beauty ideals, respecting the body by engaging in healthy behaviours, and protecting the body by reje…
Attachment to God and eating disorder tendencies: The mediating role of social comparison
A mediation model linking attachment to God, self-compassion, and mental health
Attachment theory posits that insecure attachment is a risk factor for the development of anxiety and depression and ample evidence supports this idea. Research has also demonstrated links between attachment to God and mental health, but little is known about the emotion regulatory mechanism that underlies this relationship. The present study explored the explanatory role of self-compassion in the relation between attachment to God and anxiety, d…
Perceived relationship with God fosters positive body image in college women
Positive body image is defined as healthy body-related attitudes that go beyond the absence of distressful symptoms. A warm and secure relationship with an important other person has been linked with attitudes of acceptance and appreciation toward one's body as well as adaptive eating patterns. This study tested whether a warm and secure relationship with God was similarly related to positive body image. Undergraduate women completed self-report …
Attachment to God mitigates negative effect of media exposure on women's body image
Religiosity, Sense of Meaning, and Health Behavior in Older Adults
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between older adults' religiosity, sense of meaning in life, and health behavior. Three dimensions of religiosity were assessed: religious orientation (intrinsic and extrinsic), sanctification of the body, and relationship with God. Five health behaviors were measured: smoking, exercise, taking responsibility for one's own health, nutritious eating, and stress management. In general, stron…
