ABSTRACT The present study examines the moderating role of religiosity in the association between death anxiety and depression among Iranian community-dwelling older adults. This study recruited 340 participants using a cluster sampling method. The data were collected using the Templer Death Anxiety Scale, Goldberg Depression Questionnaire, and Allport-Ross Intrinsic/Extrinsic Religious Orientation Scale. The moderating role of intrinsic (death anxiety × intrinsic: β = -.048, p = .388) and extrinsic (death anxiety × extrinsic: β = -.011, p = .831) religiosity in the relationship between death anxiety and depression was not confirmed. The findings did not support the moderating role of religiosity in the relationship between death anxiety and depression. Further studies are recommended to confirm these results.

ABSTRACT Catholicism is the predominant religion in Poland, but formal religious participation has decreased in recent years. Given this decline, we examined the current relevance of religious support (i.e., support perceived from church leaders, fellow Catholics, and God) to psychological functioning among Polish Catholics. We translated the Religious Support Scale (RSS) into Polish and examined two Polish Catholic samples. In Study 1, we examined the Polish RSS’s internal structure via exploratory factor analyses and assessed reliability. Based on favourable results, we examined religious support’s association with psychological functioning, controlling for instrinsic religiousness. Religious support remained significantly associated with psychological well-being after controlling for religiousness. In Study 2, we further supported the Polish RSS’s reliability, factorial validity, and convergent validity. Moreover, religious support remained significantly related to well-being even after controlling social support variance, further suggesting that religious support continues to be relevant among Polish Catholics.

ABSTRACT Refugees share a common bond in the premigration, migration, and postmigration stressors they have experienced. Despite these adverse circumstances, many refugees are able to recover, regain psychological wellness, and live productive lives. While previous research has revealed links between psychological well-being and spiritual intelligence, to date, no such research has examined these variables in refugee populations in the United States. The present study examined the empirical relationship between spiritual intelligence and psychological well-being in a diverse sample of refugees (N = 76). The relationship between spiritual intelligence and psychological well-being yielded a significant correlation while moderating variables (years living in the US and number of traumatic events) did not impact this relationship. As refugee populations continue to grow, findings from this study may be beneficial for guiding mental health professionals in developing more culturally appropriate, holistic treatment plans to effectively address trauma and build resilience in refugees.

ABSTRACT Based on the rich extant research in the field of mental health in acculturation, it is calling to identify religion as one of the meditative variables of the relationship between acculturation and mental health. In addition, little knowledge exists about the detailed religious experience of Chinese migrants in Ireland. This research adopted classic grounded theory to guide data collection and analysis. The findings show that Christian faith plays a significant role as a mediator in the cross-cultural adaptation of the participants with two aspects of the mental impacts: helping to cope with mental stress and providing spiritual satisfaction. The results in this paper are part of the findings from an investigation of the religious experience of the participants during their cross-cultural adaptation in Ireland.

ABSTRACT COVID-19 pandemic has triggered serious psychological problems mainly in the front-line healthcare staff. The aim of this study was to examine the predictive role of spiritual health and resilience in mental distress of nurses in COVID-19 wards in Iran. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out on 91 nurses working in COVID-19 wards in 2020. The results showed that 23.1% of nurses had mental distress. In addition, the correlation coefficient showed that there was a negative and significant relationship between spiritual health (r = −.22, p < .01) and resilience (r = −.34, p < .01) with mental distress. The regression results indicated that spiritual health and resilience predicted 16% of the variation in mental distress (p < .05). Spiritual health and resilience are important constructs of mental distress in nurses and significantly predict and elaborate parts of changes in mental distress. Thus, mental health in nurses can be improved by improving the spiritual aspect and resilience in nurses.
新冠肺炎大流行引发了一线医护人员严重的心理问题。本研究的目的是研究精神健康和恢复能力在伊朗COVID-19病房护士精神痛苦中的预测作用。对2020年在COVID-19病房工作的91名护士进行描述性横断面研究。结果显示,23.1%的护士存在精神困扰。此外,相关系数显示精神健康与心理健康之间存在显著负相关关系(r = -。22, p < 0.01)和弹性(r =−。34, p < 0.01)。回归结果显示,精神健康和心理弹性可预测16%的精神痛苦变异(p < 0.05)。精神健康和恢复力是护士精神痛苦的重要构式,对护士精神痛苦的变化具有重要的预测和阐述作用。因此,可以通过提高护士的精神方面和弹性来改善护士的心理健康。

ABSTRACT Achieving a sense of life meaning has been proposed as an evolutionary adaptation that promotes the human need for self-actualisation. This study explores how various dimensions of religiosity are associated with life purpose during emerging adulthood, a stage of the life course where religious decline and the search for meaning and purpose intersect. Prior studies on this topic, however, have typically not accounted for across-time fluctuations in religiosity. Therefore, using two waves of data from the National Study of Youth and Religion (NSYR) (2005-2008), we consider how changes in religious attendance and perceived closeness with God are associated with changes in life meaning and purpose. Results suggest that consistent or increasing attendance and closeness with God predict greater life purpose, while declines in attendance associate with lower purpose. We discuss possible mechanism that may underlie our findings within the current religious climate of the United States.

ABSTRACT Clergy have an emotionally taxing role and are suggested to experience high rates of distress. Prior research suggests clergy utilise religious coping skills and may underutilise support. This study aimed to explore clergy experiences of role-demands, coping, and support, to supplement previous findings, and guide intervention. Nine clergy members participated in semi-structured interviews; data was analysed using inductive-deductive Thematic Analysis. Three major themes emerged from the data; ‘the sacrifice you make', ‘help along the way', and ‘change that's needed'. Clergy-members' most prevalent and salient reported coping strategy revolved around a stable relationship with God. Clergy discussed barriers to support within, and outside of, the church. Clergies' experiences of challenging demands and distress support previous findings. Clergy preference for religious coping suggest future research, or intervention, should account for spirituality. Finally, clergy-members’ varied experiences of support suggest practical/cultural changes within the church could reduce barriers.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to test the factorial structure and validity of the Francis Psychological Type and Emotional Temperament Scales (FPTETS) in a sample 209 men and women enrolled on a university ministry training course. Confirmatory Factor Analysis supported the five-factor structure of scales measuring introversion-extraversion, sensing-intuition, feeling-thinking, judging-perceiving, and emotional calm-volatility. This showed that it is possible to add the latter scales to those in the parent instrument (the Francis Psychological Type Scales) without destroying its factorial structure. Validity of the orientation and emotional temperament scales was tested among 78 of the original sample who also completed the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised shortened version (EPQ-RS). There were significant correlations between extraversion scores on the two instruments and between Eysenck neuroticism and FPTETS volatile scores, suggesting these two components of the FPTETS and the two dimensions of the EPQR-S assess similar components of personality in both instruments.

ABSTRACT The Francis Psychological Type Scales (FPTS) were developed to operationalise psychological type theory in a way appropriate for and accessible to survey-style research, administered either online or offline. For the present study, two samples of adults participating in short courses relevant for Christian ministry (N = 185 and 392) completed the FPTS at least one day after completing the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI®). The data: confirmed the basic factor structure of the FPTS; demonstrated the satisfactory internal consistency reliability of the indices of introversion and extraversion, sensing and intuition, feeling and thinking, judging and perceiving; and supported the concurrent validity of this measure against the MBTI® in terms of both correlations between continuous scale scores and allocation to type categories.

ABSTRACT Preference within the perceiving process (sensing or intuition) is one of the main features within psychological type theory that differentiates clergy serving within different streams of the Christian Church. Previous research has identified a higher proportion of intuitive types among Church of England clergy than among clergy serving within the Free Churches (Baptist, Methodist, Salvation Army). New data from 93 ministers serving within the United Reformed Church suggest that this denomination may occupy a position between the Church of England and other Free Churches, with 55% of male ministers, and 53% of female ministers preferring intuition.
