ABSTRACT Contemporary philosophers have routinely claimed that agnostics, who lack belief that God exists, can nonetheless adopt alternative attitudes toward a supposed God that act as substitutes for belief, and may thereby reap benefits associated with theistic belief. This study tested this hypothesis empirically in an online sample of self-identified agnostics (N = 360). Previous findings that anxious attachment to God is negatively related to agnostics’ well-being while secure attachment to God is positively related to agnostics’ well-being were confirmed and extended. Anxious attachment to God predicted unique variance in life satisfaction, depression, and self-esteem in hierarchical regressions, while difference-in-means tests indicated that securely attached agnostics fared better than their insecurely attached counterparts for these variables. Two novel and more direct measures of agnostics’ acceptance or resistance of God’s supposed love also demonstrated significant associations with agnostics’ gratitude, life satisfaction, and self-esteem, even after controlling for God attachment.

ABSTRACT The goal is to analyse patient communication rules and explore the role of specific faith-based communities in shaping them. The study was based on data collected from four groups of patients of different psychological types. About 77% of all patients in need of palliative care in Russia have diseases related to non-malignant diseases, among which there are also those requiring psychological medical care and spiritual support. Psychospiritual work, divided between psychotherapists and workers of faith-based organisations, was carried out over a period of eight months. The work was divided into four phases. The mental status of the patients was analysed in each phase. The analysis of the mental status showed improvement of the patients' mental state in the second and fourth phases, after interacting with the workers of a faith-based organisation. During the experiment, communication problems between patients and representatives of faith-based communities were identified in the study groups.

There are limited reports on the relationship between spirituality and mental stress in PLWH in China, who may be subject to anti-religious pressures from the government. In this study, we aimed to understand whether spirituality influences Chinese PLWH's mental stress and, if so, at what level. We recruited 200 PLWHs from Beijing's Ditan Hospital to complete a cross-sectional survey inquiring about their practice of spirituality as well as their level of mental stress. The study found that PLWH who presented with a mid-level of spirituality have the highest mental stress when compared to those who have a low level of spiritual beliefs or a high level of spiritual beliefs. This study points to the utility of healthcare providers taking PLWH's potential spirituality into consideration, perhaps in particular for those with a moderate level of spirituality, in order to provide the most comprehensive care possible.

Populations in countries such as Haiti demonstrate a high level of need for mental health care despite a lack of services and trained professionals. In addition to the dearth of biomedical services, local belief systems and explanatory models contribute to a majority of the population relying on traditional medicine as their first option for care. Using a mixed-methods approach, we aim to characterise mental illness at the first mental health clinic in the region - Sant Sante Mantal Mòn Pele (SSMMP) - by interviewing 96 patients with a demographic questionnaire as well as Anxiety, Depression, and Functionality Scales. Multivariate logistic and linear regression models were conducted examining the impact of demographic variables on whether patients believed their illness was caused by sent spirits or previously visited a Vodou priest for treatment, as well as Depression, Anxiety, and Functionality Scale scores. Factors associated with mental illness in this sample included sex, number of traumatic events, physical health status, and number of sessions attended at SSMMP. Factors which impacted traditional beliefs or practices related to mental illness included sex, age, and income.
在海地等国，尽管缺乏相关服务和训练有素的专业人员，但人们对精神卫生保健的需求仍然很高。除了缺乏生物医学服务外，当地的信仰体系和解释模式也导致大多数人口依赖传统医学作为他们的第一选择。采用混合方法，我们的目标是在该地区的第一家精神卫生诊所- Sant Sante mental Mòn Pele (SSMMP) -通过人口调查问卷以及焦虑，抑郁和功能量表采访96名患者，以确定精神疾病的特征。采用多变量logistic和线性回归模型检验了人口统计学变量对患者是否认为自己的疾病是由被派遣的灵魂引起的或之前曾拜访过巫毒牧师进行治疗的影响，以及抑郁、焦虑和功能量表得分。本样本中与精神疾病相关的因素包括性别、创伤事件数量、身体健康状况和参加SSMMP的会议次数。影响与精神疾病有关的传统信仰或习俗的因素包括性别、年龄和收入。

ABSTRACT Our aim was to explore the role religion and spiritual beliefs play in dealing with the challenges associated with mental ill health among the Muslim community in Malappuram, Kerala. Twenty-four interviews were conducted with patients of Islamic faith diagnosed with a mental health condition (n = 10) in urban (Ponnani) and rural (Vailathur) area of Malappuram, a Muslim majority district in Kerala, their family carers (n = 8) and community members (n = 6). Four key themes were derived, namely (1) Attribution to supernatural factors, (2) Relying on “God’s will”, (3) Prayer, and (4) Traditional healing. Faith was seen to be a prerequisite for any treatment, including modern medicine, to work. Even within a single faith group there can be considerable variation in belief and practice, with more pious participants disapproving of the reliance on local traditional healers and belief systems, highlighting the value of paying attention to the detail of local beliefs and practices.

This book involves an interesting and stimulating series of propositions on the relations between religious laws on the one hand, and emotional and spiritual wellbeing. The book opens with chapters detailing the Seven Noachide laws (p. 28). These laws are a rabbinically described code of behaviour applicable to all humanity. Unlike many, most or indeed all religious traditions, Judaism does not actually seek converts. But it does o ff er a code of behaviour applicable to all, and indeed this code is embedded in the major world reli-gions. Miriam Cowen ’ s book spells out some of the emotional, moral and spiritual consequences of attempting to follow these rules, for example belief in God, sexual morality, respect for the property of others and the ethical treatment of animals and nature

ABSTRACT Three aspects of religious faith: faith-as-faithfulness; faith-as-trust; and faith-as-experience were examined in the lives of torture survivors with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The Fetzer Scale items: Positive and Negative Religious Coping (PRC & NRC), Religious Practices (RP), and Daily Spiritual Experiences (DSE) were applied to a sample of 111 asylees. While none of the correlational hypotheses from the total sample showed a significant association between the variables of PRC, RP, and DSE to PTSD, a post hoc gender analyses revealed significant posttraumatic responses between women and men. Men showed a positive and significant association between PTSD, PRC and NRC, and women, a significant, negative association between Religious Social Support and PTSD. A multiple regression analysis investigated whether NRC, RP and DSE would predict significant variance with PTSD. Only NRC was shown to be a unique, significant predictor of PTSD above and beyond any beneficial effects of Religious Social Support (RSS).

ABSTRACT Using a community-based sample of Black-White (N = 177) and Asian-White (N = 87) biracial Christian adults, we explored associations between multiracial discrimination (discrimination due to being mixed race), religious/spiritual (r/s) struggles, and race-based traumatic stress during the two year period of 2020–2021. We assessed whether r/s struggles mediated the association between multiracial discrimination and race-based stress for the two groups. The two mediation analyses revealed a positive indirect effect of multiracial discrimination on race-based traumatic stress through r/s struggles for both groups. In addition, the two groups showed significant differences in their reports of discrimination during the two-year period, with Black-White biracial individuals reporting more multiracial discrimination (including lack of family acceptance) than Asian-White biracials. However, no differences were found in their reports of race-based stress or r/s struggles. Implications for assessment and intervention and directions for future research are provided.

C. Lewis
This Special Issue of Mental Health, Religion & Culture marks Part V of a series entitled Psychological Type, Religion, and Culture... (Lewis, 2012a, 2012b, 2015a, 2015b, 2018, 2021a, 2021b, 2021c, 2021d). This series has been a somewhat occasional fixture in Mental Health, Religion & Culture. However, recently, there has been a concerted effort to make this series more frequent (Lewis, 2021a, 2021b, 2021c, 2021d), and in doing so, becoming a more established resource for researchers and practitioners alike, interested in examining the relationship between psychological type theory and religiosity, with a particular reference to culture. Indeed, the contribution and success of these previous collections on psychological type has served as the impetus for extending that work further. In addition to this Editorial, this Special Issue comprises of one theoretical article and eight empirical articles. Of these empirical articles, six measure psychological type with the 40-item Francis Psychological Type Scales (FPTS; Francis, 2005) and one with the SIFT method. The FPTS is nowwell established in the literature in the psychology of religion for measuring psychological type (for example see Francis, 2009; Lewis, 2012a, 2012b, 2015a, 2015b, 2018, 2021a, 2021b, 2021c, 2021d; Village, 2011). First, Lloyd (2022) provides a review that examines and evaluates the long-running conflict in personality psychology: that between advocates of the Five-factor Trait-based (McCrea & Costa, 1989) model and those of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (Myers & Myers, 1980) approach. Lloyd (2022) notes “Given the many similarities of the two present paradigms, a unified approach would have a good claim to be the best current portrayal of personality” (p. 817). Second, four papers report on the examination of the psychometric properties of the FPTS (Chaim, 2022; Francis & Village, 2022; Village & Francis, 2022a, 2022b). Francis and Village (2022) report on two samples (N = 185 and 392) of adults participating in short courses relevant for Christian ministry, the satisfactory psychometric properties of the FPTS including the factor structure, internal consistency reliability, and concurrent validity with the 126item Form G (Anglicised) version of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (Myers & McCaulley, 1985). Village and Francis (2022a) report on 209 adults enrolled in a university ministry training course on the satisfactory psychometric properties of the FPTS. Moreover, they also report on the concurrent validity of the FPTS with the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised shortened version (Eysenck et al., 1985) on 78 of the original sample.

本期心理健康、宗教与文化特刊是“心理类型、宗教和文化”系列的第五部分。。。（Lewis，2012a，2012b，2015a，2015b，20182021a，2021b，2021c，2021d）。这个系列在《心理健康、宗教与文化》中偶尔会出现。然而，最近，人们共同努力使这个系列更加频繁（Lewis，2021a，2021b，2021c，2021d），并在这样做的过程中，成为研究人员和从业者的一个更成熟的资源，他们都有兴趣研究心理类型理论和宗教信仰之间的关系，特别是文化。事实上，这些以前关于心理类型的收藏的贡献和成功推动了这项工作的进一步扩展。除了这篇社论外，本期特刊还包括一篇理论文章和八篇实证文章。在这些实证文章中，6篇用40项弗朗西斯心理类型量表（FPTS；Francis，2005）测量心理类型，1篇用SIFT方法测量。FPTS现在已经在宗教心理学的文献中建立起来，用于测量心理类型（例如，见Francis，2009；Lewis，2012a，2012b，2015a，2015b，20182021a，2021b，2021c，2021d；Village，2011）。首先，Lloyd（2022）提供了一篇综述，考察和评估了人格心理学中长期存在的冲突：基于五因素特质（McCrea&Costa，1989）模型的倡导者和Myers-Briggs类型指标（Myers&Myers，1980）方法的倡导者之间的冲突。Lloyd（2022）指出，“鉴于目前两种范式的许多相似之处，一种统一的方法可以很好地宣称是当前对个性的最佳描述”（第817页）。其次，四篇论文报道了FPTS的心理测量特性的检查（Chaim，2022；Francis&Village，2022；Village&Francis，2022a2022b）。Francis和Village（2022）报告了两个参与与基督教事工相关的短期课程的成年人样本（N=185和392），FPTS的令人满意的心理测量特性，包括因子结构、内部一致性可靠性和与Myers-Briggs类型指标的126项表G（英国化）版本的同时有效性（Myers&McCalley，1985）。Village和Francis（2022a）报告了209名参加大学部委培训课程的成年人，他们对FPTS的心理测量特性感到满意。此外，他们还报告了FPTS与艾森克人格问卷修订缩短版（Eysenck et al.，1985）对78个原始样本的同时有效性。Village和Francis（2022b）对2769名神职人员和去教堂的参与者进行了报告，FPTS与缩写的艾森克人格问卷的同时有效性进行了修订（Francis等人，1992）。Chaim（2022）报道了波兰成年人的各种样本——对波兰适应FPTS的最新研究的回顾。

(Lewis, 2012a, 2012b, 2015a, 2015b, 2018, 2021a, 2021b, 2021c, 2021d). This series has been a somewhat occasional fixture in Mental Health, Religion & Culture. However, recently, there has been a concerted effort to make this series more frequent (Lewis, 2021a, 2021b, 2021c, 2021d), and in doing so, becoming a more established resource for researchers and practitioners alike, interested in examining the relationship between psychological type theory and religiosity, with a particular reference to culture. Indeed, the contribution and success of these previous collections on psychological type has served as the impetus for extending that work further. In addition to this Editorial, this Special Issue comprises of one theoretical article and eight empirical articles. Of these empirical articles, six measure psychological type with the 40-item Francis Psychological Type Scales (FPTS; Francis, 2005) and one with the SIFT method. The FPTS is nowwell established in the literature in the psychology of religion for measuring psychological type (for example see Francis, 2009; Lewis, 2012a, 2012b, 2015a, 2015b, 2018, 2021a, 2021b, 2021c, 2021d; Village, 2011). First, Lloyd (2022) provides a review that examines and evaluates the long-running conflict in personality psychology: that between advocates of the Five-factor Trait-based (McCrea & Costa, 1989) model and those of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (Myers & Myers, 1980) approach. Lloyd (2022) notes “Given the many similarities of the two present paradigms, a unified approach would have a good claim to be the best current portrayal of personality” (p. 817). Second, four papers report on the examination of the psychometric properties of the FPTS (Chaim, 2022; Francis & Village, 2022; Village & Francis, 2022a, 2022b). Francis and Village (2022) report on two samples (N = 185 and 392) of adults participating in short courses relevant for Christian ministry, the satisfactory psychometric properties of the FPTS including the factor structure, internal consistency reliability, and concurrent validity with the 126item Form G (Anglicised) version of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (Myers & McCaulley, 1985). Village and Francis (2022a) report on 209 adults enrolled in a university ministry training course on the satisfactory psychometric properties of the FPTS. Moreover, they also report on the concurrent validity of the FPTS with the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised shortened version (Eysenck et al., 1985) on 78 of the original sample. Village and Francis (2022b) report on 2,769 clergy and churchgoing participants, the concurrent validity of the FPTS with the abbreviated Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised (Francis et al., 1992). Chaim (2022) reports on a variety of samples of Polish adults a review of recent research on the Polish adaptation of the FPTS.","PeriodicalId":47614,"journal":{"name":"Mental Health Religion & Culture","volume":"25 1","pages":"953 - 955"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45482203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
