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.

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. 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.
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。

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to examine challenges Black adolescents may experience because of COVID-19 and coping strategies employed to navigate their reported difficulties. The current study used secondary data analysis to understand how Black U.S. adolescents’ positive images of God contributed to their emotional well-being in response to stressors associated with COVID-19. Data from a larger study were extracted from 11 Black adolescents’ (Ages 12–17; 54.5% female) individual interview transcripts; and the research team used an interpretative phenomenology process to analyze the data. Participants’ experiences of God as a (a) Teacher, (b) Powerful Being, and (c) Comforter served as robust contributors to their feelings of strength, hope, assurance, calmness, contentment, and motivation, despite the challenges they encountered. This study presents a culturally responsive approach to understanding and potentially responding to Black adolescents’ mental health needs during the COVID-era.

ABSTRACT Clergy have an emotionally taxing role and experience high rates of distress. Clergy are an under-represented group in research, with studies suggesting clergy utilise religious coping skills, and underutilise social support. The aims of this study were to assess psychological distress, coping, and help-seeking in UK clergy, and determine whether religious coping mediates the relationship between role demands and distress. One hundred and sixty one clergy-members completed measures of demands, distress, coping, and help-seeking. Mediation analyses were used to test hypotheses. Clergy reported higher rates of distress than community samples, reported more adaptive coping, and favoured help-seeking from informal sources. Negative religious coping and avoidant coping partially mediated the relationship between demands and distress. Clergy reported similar rates of distress to those in other emotionally demanding roles. Religious coping partially mediated the impact of negative demands, suggesting any intervention should include consideration of religious coping in this group.

ABSTRACT The present paper makes accessible to an English-speaking readership recent research published in Polish designed to provide and to test a Polish adaptation of the Francis Psychological Type Scales (FPTS) and the Francis Psychological Type and Emotional Temperament Scales (FPTETS). The process of development involved studies reported among 53 Catholic clerics, 87 Catholic clerics, 119 university students, 134 university students, 240 final grade secondary school students, 133 university students, and 75 university students. The four-factor structure of the FPTS was recovered by confirmatory factor analysis, with 10 items loading on each factor, and producing the following Cronbach alpha coefficients: .81 for Extraversion vs. Introversion, .66 for Sensing vs. Intuition, .77 for Thinking vs. Feeling, and .80 for Judging vs. Perceiving. For the additional ten-item scale of Emotional Temperament (Volatile vs. Calm), α = .75.

ABSTRACT Two rival paradigms compete for acceptance as representing objective reality concerning the structure of the human personality: the Five-Factor (Trait) model and the Myers-Briggs (Type) model. In this review, the common features of the two schemes are identified and the points of difference examined. It is concluded that a harmonised scheme could be achieved if both sides gave some ground. The Type community could relinquish its contention that every individual has a clear either-or preference for (for example) Extraversion or Introversion. It could also acknowledge the speculative nature of Type Dynamics. The Trait community could relinquish the value-judgements inherent in its current scheme and accept that (for example) introversion is not merely a deficit of extraversion but a distinct quality with positive potential. 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.

In this review, the common features of the two schemes are identified and the points of difference examined. It is concluded that a harmonised scheme could be achieved if both sides gave some ground. The Type community could relinquish its contention that every individual has a clear either-or preference for (for example) Extraversion or Introversion. It could also acknowledge the speculative nature of Type Dynamics. The Trait community could relinquish the value-judgements inherent in its current scheme and accept that (for example) introversion is not merely a deficit of extraversion but a distinct quality with positive potential. 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.","PeriodicalId":47614,"journal":{"name":"Mental Health Religion & Culture","volume":"25 1","pages":"817 - 828"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46557022","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}
