Increasing Stress Resilience in Difficult Times
People across the country are experiencing significant levels of stress across most areas of life, including economic (jobs and inflation), health (epidemics), social and relationship issues, and international conflicts and political strife. People want to cope better but the amount of information available on stress management is staggering, confusing, and sometimes contradictory. Drawing from empirically supported intervention research that int…

The Effects of Job Instability and Financial Strain on C-Reactive Protein in a Sample of Mexican Immigrants
Job instability and financial strain predict increased inflammation in Mexican immigrants but they do not play a role in the relationship between acculturation and C-reactive protein. The effects of acculturation on inflammation in this study were mediated by BMI

The association between religion and acculturation in Utah Mexican immigrants
The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of religious affiliation on acculturation among Mexican immigrants to Utah. In addition to demographic information, measures of acculturation, spirituality, social support, and perceived social status were administered to 336 participants. Latter-day Saints compared with Catholics and those of other religious affiliation tended to score significantly higher on Anglo cultural orientation, spiri…

Spirituality, Religion, and Clinical Outcomes in Patients Recovering From an Acute Myocardial Infarction
OBJECTIVE: To assess the prospective relationship between spiritual experiences and health in a sample of patients surviving an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with depression or low social support. METHODS: A subset of 503 patients participating in the enhancing recovery in coronary heart disease (ENRICHD) trial completed a Daily Spiritual Experiences (DSE) questionnaire within 28 days from the time of their AMI. The questionnaire assessed thr…
Diurnal Cortisol Variation is Associated With Nocturnal Blood Pressure Dipping
OBJECTIVE: To investigate if diurnal cortisol variation is associated with nocturnal blood pressure (BP) dipping. METHODS: In this study, 302 healthy adults (51% female; average age 31 years) underwent 24-hour ambulatory BP assessment with BP measured randomly approximately every 20 minutes during waking hours and every hour during sleep. Salivary cortisol was obtained at five time points. Cortisol and BP have natural diurnal variations and disru…
Does Defensiveness Account for the Relationship Between Religiosity and Psychosocial Adjustment
Religiosity has been related to positive psychosocial adjustment across a large number of studies. Some researchers question, however, whether this relationship is an accurate finding, observing that there are many potential confounds that have not been controlled for, such as defensiveness. This study examined whether defensiveness accounted for the relationship between religiosity and psychosocial adjustment. Two samples of religious individual…
Acculturation to Western Society as a Risk Factor for High Blood Pressure
OBJECTIVE: A number of studies have documented that acculturation to western society is related to an increase in blood pressure (BP). Although there is evidence that higher socioeconomic status appears related to better cardiovascular health, increasing acculturation to western society appears related to worse cardiovascular health. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to investigate the association between acculturation and BP. METHODS: Litera…
Effects of Perceived Racism and Anger Inhibition on Ambulatory Blood Pressure in African Americans
Perceived racism and anger inhibition are independently related to higher ABP. Both may contribute to the incidence of hypertension and hypertensive-related diseases observed in African Americans
Religious Coping, Ethnicity, and Ambulatory Blood Pressure
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between religious coping, ethnicity, and ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) measured during daily life. METHODS: A 24-hour ABP was obtained from 155 men and women (78 African American and 77 white) on a typical workday. ABP was averaged over awake and sleep periods, and clinic BP was also assessed. Psychosocial measures of coping style, negative affect, social support, stress, and health behaviors were comp…
Adolescent Life Events and their Association with the Onset of Sexual Intercourse
This study examined the timing of several events marking the transition from adolescence to young adulthood and their correlation with the age at first sexual intercourse. The model included parental disruption, dropping out of school, working, drug use, and dating. Socioeconomic status, gender, and race were included as control variables. Data are taken from the National Survey of Children, a longitudinal study of children ages 7-11 in 1976 who …
