Abstract

Use of religious coping in response to life stress is associated with improved mental and physical health outcomes. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of religious coping on conscious self-reported and non-conscious physiological stress responses to an acute, real-world stressor to better understand how this benefit may be conferred. This study examined the trajectory of subjective distress and cortisol patterns leading up to and following a stressful college exam using daily diary and ambulatory saliva samples, respectively (N students = 246). Religious coping was not significantly associated with subjective reports of distress. However, prior to the exam, greater use of religious coping was associated with an ostensibly more adaptive accelerated return to a cortisol baseline. This protective effect was no longer significant when the exam was over, suggesting that religious coping acts as a protective buffer against physiological stress responses rather than aiding in subjective recovery from stress.

宗教应对与生理和主观痛苦指标的差异:比较皮质醇和自我报告模式。
使用宗教方式应对生活压力与改善心理和身体健康结果有关。本研究的目的是研究宗教应对对有意识的自我报告和无意识的生理应激反应的影响,以更好地理解这种益处是如何被赋予的。本研究分别使用每日日记和流动唾液样本(N名学生= 246)检查了导致压力大的大学考试前后的主观痛苦和皮质醇模式的轨迹。宗教应对与主观痛苦报告没有显著关联。然而,在考试之前,更多地使用宗教应对与表面上更具适应性的皮质醇基线加速恢复有关。当考试结束时,这种保护作用不再显著,这表明宗教应对作为生理应激反应的保护性缓冲,而不是帮助从压力中主观恢复。

期刊介绍: Behavioral Medicine is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal, which fosters and promotes the exchange of knowledge and the advancement of theory in the field of behavioral medicine, including but not limited to understandings of disease prevention, health promotion, health disparities, identification of health risk factors, and interventions designed to reduce health risks, ameliorate health disparities, enhancing all aspects of health. The journal seeks to advance knowledge and theory in these domains in all segments of the population and across the lifespan, in local, national, and global contexts, and with an emphasis on the synergies that exist between biological, psychological, psychosocial, and structural factors as they related to these areas of study and across health states. Behavioral Medicine publishes original empirical studies (experimental and observational research studies, quantitative and qualitative studies, evaluation studies) as well as clinical/case studies. The journal also publishes review articles, which provide systematic evaluations of the literature and propose alternative and innovative theoretical paradigms, as well as brief reports and responses to articles previously published in Behavioral Medicine.
