Two Dimensions of Attachment to God and Their Relation to Affect, Religiosity, and Personality ConstructsIn this study we sought to address several limitations of previous research on attachment theory and religion by (1) developing a dimensional attachment to God scale, and (2) demonstrating that dimensions of attachment to God are predictive of measures of affect and personality after controlling for social desirability and other related dimensions of religiosity. Questionnaire measures of ... ...

Sacrilege: A Study of Sacred Loss and Desecration and Their Implications for Health and Well‐Being in a Community Sample In this study, we proposed that people understand major life events in terms of spiritual as well as psychological, social, and physical dimensions. Specifically, we examined the possibility that life events that are perceived to be sacred losses or violations of the sacred (i.e., desecrations) have significant implications for the health and well‐being of the individual. A t... ...

Prayer, God Imagery, and Symptoms of Psychopathology Researchers have shown a longstanding interest in the relationship between religion and mental health. Here, we outline a series of hypotheses linking personal prayer, images of God, and mental health. We then empirically test the hypotheses using data from an online survey of U.S. adults (N= 1,629) conducted in 2004 by Spirituality and Health magazine. We find a positive cor... ...

The Varieties of Sacred Experience: Finding the Sacred in a Secular GroveThis paper contends that the social scientific study of religion has long labored under a chafing constraint and a misleading premise. It suggests that our primary focus should be on the sacred, and that religion is just one among many possible sources of the sacred. Defining religion “substantively” but the sacred “functionally” helps toresolve a long‐standing tension in the field. Broade... ...

Religion and Coping: A Contribution from Religious Studies Freud and Marx pegged religion as a beguiling painkiller. Recent social scientific research has exposed the not‐so‐simple reality of religious coping, identifying differential usage, means, and outcomes. Appropriately, psychologists, many with clinical training, lead the way. This article is a contribution from religious studies. It describes two thus far neglected modes of r... ...
