Abstract
ABSTRACT The study tested a portion of the Oklahoma Aging Inmate Forgiveness Model predicting religiosity would be positively and significantly associated with the mediator, forgiveness (self, other, and situation), and the mental health outcome, valuation of life. Further, the study asked, “Does crime type moderate the relationships in the model?” Cross-sectional data from 249 older male inmates affirmed that religiosity and forgiveness matters for participant mental health. Discussion focuses on the fact that not one size fits all. Inmates and their unique backgrounds, crime type, and various assessments, present opportunities for needed psychological, religious, and forgiveness involvement, training, and therapeutic intervention.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Religion, Spirituality and Aging is an interdisciplinary, interfaith professional journal in which the needs, aspirations, and resources of aging constituencies come clearly into focus. Combining practical innovation and scholarly insight, the peer-reviewed journal offers timely information and probing articles on such subjects as long-term care for the aging, support systems for families of the aging, retirement, counseling, death, ethical issues, and more . Providing a crucial balance between theory and practice, the journal informs secular professionals – administrators, counselors, nurses, physicians, recreational rehabilitative therapists, and social workers – about developments in the field of Religion, Spirituality, and Aging. The journal also serves as a resource for religious professionals, such as pastors, religious educators, chaplains, and pastoral counselors who work with aging people and their families.
