ABSTRACT The present study was designed to situate the eight scales of the Francis Psychological Type Scales within the three dimensional psychological space defined by the abbreviated Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised (EPQR-A), drawing on data provided by 2,769 clergy and churchgoing participants. The data support the concurrent validity of the Extraversion and Introversion Scales of the Francis Psychological Type Scales against the Eysenck Extraversion Scale. The data also illustrates how all the scales of the Francis Psychological Type Scales may be nuanced by correlations with the Eysenckian dimensions of extraversion, neuroticism, and psychoticism and with the Eysenckian Lie Scale.

ABSTRACT Previous studies investigating psychometric properties of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) provided contradictory results for different populations. The purpose of this study is to investigate the reliability and validity of the GAD-7 with a sample of Turkish college students. Two hundred thirty-five Turkish university students completed the Turkish version of the GAD-7, the Perceived Stress Scale, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and the Inventory of Common Problems. Factor analyses did not support one general factor solution of the T-GAD-7. However, a respecified model, after correlating error terms, met the adequate criteria for model fit. Additionally, significant moderate correlations were found for the anxiety scores with perceived stress, academic problems, physical problems, and life satisfaction. The results indicated that college health professionals could benefit from the T-GAD-7 to assess anxiety levels of Turkish college students. Further discussions and implications were provided.

ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to explore the association between Belief in Day of Judgment (BDJ) and belief in locus of control (LCS) in samples from three nations: Iran, Turkey and the USA. A scale devised by Beshai and Lester to measure Belief in a Day of Judgment (BDJS) and Multidimensional Locus of Control Scale (MLCS) for internal, powerful others, or chance loci of control were administered to 386 students. Age was not associated with BDJ in the American students, while sex was not associated with BDJ for any of the three samples. The Iranian sample had higher scores for internal control, while the Turkish sample had higher scores for BDJ. In addition, belief in an internal locus of control predicted BDJ, but only for the Iranian sample. Thus, there were differences between these three cultures in their mean score for BDJ and LCS and the associations between the scale scores.

ABSTRACT Recent research supports the dual continuua model of mental health, i.e., the integration between the disease model or psychopathology and the psychological model or positive mental health. The aim of the present study was to develop and validate the Mental Wellness and Illness Scale (MWIS) and to explore its association with the Big-Five personality factors. A sample of 1418 Egyptian college students (618 men and 800 women) took part in this study. They responded, in Arabic to the MWIS. It consists of 20 brief items in two subscales (10 for mental health and 10 for mental illness). The scale has acceptable to good internal consistency, and criterion-related validity. Two high-loaded components were extracted and labelled “Mental health” and “Mental illness”. Their inter-correlation was significant but modest. Gender differences were significant: men obtained the higher mean score on mental health, whereas women had the higher mean score on mental illness. The Mental Health Subscale scores were significantly correlated with extraversion, agreeableness, openness conscientiousness (positively), and neuroticism (negatively) for both sexes. The Mental Illness Subscale score was significantly associated with neuroticism (positively) and extraversion (negatively) in both men and women. The MWIS has Arabic and English equivalent versions. Based on its good psychometric characteristics, the MWIS is recommended to assess the dual continuum model of mental health.

ABSTRACT This study examined 1) the psychometric properties of the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS) among Filipinos (N = 360) during the COVID-19 crisis, and 2) the moderating role of positive religious coping on the link between perceived stress and mental well-being among community samples in the Philippines. Findings of the confirmatory analysis revealed that the WEMWBS is a psychometrically sound tool in assessing the mental well-being of Filipinos during a global health crisis. Moderation analysis demonstrated that positive religious coping attenuated the negative influence of stress on mental well-being. In particular, the negative impact of perceived stress on mental well-being was significant and strong when the level of positive religious coping was low. Further, the negative impact was significant but weak when positive religious coping was high. The present findings are useful in integrating religious coping into mental health interventions in community samples during a global health crisis.

ABSTRACT Using a community sample of 448 Christian adults with a history of trauma, the current study explored the mediating role of two religious variables, attachment to God and Christian gratitude, in the association between deliberate rumination and posttraumatic growth (PTG). Two parallel mediation analyses were conducted. In the first analysis, results revealed that anxious attachment to God mediated the association between deliberate rumination and PTG, but Christian gratitude did not. In the second analysis, neither avoidant attachment nor Christian gratitude mediated this same association. However, analyses revealed positive associations between PTG and Christian gratitude and anxious attachment to God. Post-hoc analysis revealed that intrusive rumination may better explain outcomes related to PTG when exploring these variables. Treatment implications, limitations, and directions for future research are presented.

ABSTRACT Racism is a salient societal-level factor that adversely impacts the mental health of Black Americans. Although religiosity and racial identity have been studied in this population as protective factors, few studies have specifically considered Black American Muslims. We assessed the relationship between religious and racial identity on mental health-related factors among 499 Black American Muslims, utilising data from a cross-sectional study of Muslims in America conducted by the Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research. Cluster analysis results indicated a five-cluster solution. Differential associations were identified between cluster membership and psychological health outcomes. Participants in profiles characterised by a belief in the low societal regard for Muslims and Blacks had significantly worse mental health than did those in other profiles. The analysis further identified religiosity, gratitude, and private regard as buffering mental health agents, with uncertainty intolerance and John Henryism being related risk factors. Implications for future research are discussed.

ABSTRACT This paper examines how a group of mosque-practicing Muslim women in Denmark cope with personal discriminating actions and confrontations with stigmatising stereotypical discourses related to their religion and gender. Based on qualitative interviews with 33 mosque-practicing Muslim women, we provide examples of various experiences with discrimination related to their religion and gender. The study demonstrates how mosques support women by providing a strong sense of belonging and a religious language of advocacy. Hence, this study empirically highlights an aspect of the relationship between religious belonging and individuals’ mental health and contributes to the knowledge of Muslim minorities by providing insights into women’s experiences of victimisation. Additionally, we clarify misconceptions about the meaning of Muslim practices, such as the wearing of a veil and gender division in mosques.

ABSTRACT The present study’s main objective was to evaluate the mediating role of spirituality in the relationship between sexual attraction and suicide risk. A cross-sectional study was designed for students’ participation from colleges and universities in Barranquilla, Bogotá, and Villavicencio, Colombia. Sexual attraction was investigated using one question with six response options: opposite-sex attraction (OSA) and sexual minorities young (SMY), and with scales, suicide risk (Plutchik Suicide Risk Scale), and spirituality (three items). Three thousand and sixty four young people between 14 and 24 years old participated (M = 16.8, SD = 2.2); 61% were women. The group of SMY participants showed higher scores in suicide risk than the participants OSA. The OSA group showed greater spirituality than the SMY group. Spirituality mediated the relationship between sexual attraction and suicide risk, both in men and women, even after controlling for age. New research is needed in Colombian youth.

ABSTRACT This study evaluates the relationship between workplace stress, spiritual climate, and psychological well-being. The study also establishes how an enhanced spiritual climate of the organisation could lead to favourable outcomes for the employees, such as improved psychological well-being and reduced role stress while understanding the mediating effect of psychological well-being in the relationship between role stress and spiritual climate among working professionals. Two hundred and one working professionals completed measures of Psychological Well-Being at Work, Spiritual Climate Inventory, and Organisational Role Stress. The spiritual climate of the organisation showed a significant positive association with the psychological well-being at work of the employees. The spiritual climate of the organization had an indirect effect on the role stress of the employees mediated by psychological well-being at work of the employees, demonstrating that the spiritual climate of the organization coupled with the psychological well-being at work of an employee can help reduce the role stress of the employee.
