Gilbey, Wayne. "Effects of Religious Motivation on the Relationship between Religion and Well-Being." Thesis, Walden University, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3623162.
Full textThe purpose of this study was to examine whether intrinsic, extrinsic, and quest religious motivations mediate the relationship between the religious philosophy and perceived well-being of believers. The intrinsic-extrinsic-quest paradigm has been the dominant measure of religious motivation for more than 3 decades. However, the different effects of intrinsic, extrinsic, and quest motivation on the well-being of believers has not been tested on a stratified, purposeful sample of the major world religions. A quantitative, quasi-experimental research design was used with an online, self-report questionnaire and mediation analysis to examine the effects of religious motivation on the relationship between religious philosophy and well-being. A stratified, purposeful sample of 763 members of the major world religions completed assessments of religion and well-being. Linear regressions revealed that intrinsic, extrinsic, and quest religious motivations were three distinct constructs, that they do exist across the world religions, and that they mediated the relationship between different religions and well-being, depending on which predictor and outcome variables were being examined in the mediation triangle. Positive social change is possible for counselors, therapists, psychologists of religion, religious leaders, and laypersons at the individual and societal level through knowing which religious beliefs, motivations, and practices are associated with positive affect, satisfaction with life, the fulfilment of basic human needs, eudaimonic well-being, and better physical health. Individuals come to religion mainly during times of personal crises as a way of coping, expecting urgent results, and these findings illuminate the effectiveness of their chosen coping strategy.

Full textGiven the current amount of cheating in our society and more specifically in our schools, the focus of this dissertation was to examine the impact of religiosity on cheating behavior in an academic arena. Additionally social norms and the individual difference variable of self-monitoring were also investigated to determine their impact on cheating behavior. Furthermore, self-regulation was examined to determine if non-cheating high self-monitors deplete more self-regulatory resources than those non-cheating low self-monitors in a cheating situation.
Participants completed a religiosity and self-monitoring measure prior to coming into the laboratory. At a date of their choosing, participants completed the laboratory portion of the study. In the laboratory, participants were given a job-competency measure to complete, at which time they were given an opportunity to cheat. The participants completed the job-competency measure alone or in the presence of a confederate. Four different conditions were formed: a control condition, a cheating condition, a passive condition, and an active noncheating condition. It was also in the laboratory that their grip strength was measured.
Contrary to expectations, religiosity was not a significant predictor of cheating behavior. However, norms did impact cheating behavior; there was more cheating when the confederate cheated and less cheating when the confederate discouraged cheating behavior. Additionally, there was an impact of self-monitoring in response to the created norms, such that high self-monitors tended to follow the behaviors of the confederates more so than low self-monitors. Contrary to expectations, self-regulatory resources were not significantly impacted for noncheating high self-monitors in a confederate-induced cheating condition.

Contemporary brings demands to the humankind. The religious experience is one among these many existing demands. It is undeniable that Brazil is going through a process of effervescence in this area. And this regards both religious and non-religious people. Due to that scenario, it is necessary to accurately investigate it, expanding and contributing academically with the area of psychology of religion. The Protestant pastor Oskar Pfister is known as an important scholar in the fields of psychology and religion. The aim of this dissertation is the understanding of the relevance and contribution of Oscar Pfister to the field of psychology of religion. In order to achieve that, an intense investigation was taken on the referred author bibliography, as well as on other correlative authors. In the first chapter, it was presented the biography of Oskar Pfister and his main epistemological influences. Its goal is to find out how Pfister builds his thought until his contact with the Freudian psychology. In the second chapter, the contribution of Pfister to the psychology of religion is investigated. Its aim is to suggest some pfisterian approaches to the religious context, as well as his legacy in the field of psychology of religion. In the third chapter, the dialogue between the pfisterian thought and the religious phenomenon is presented. Its purpose is to approximate psychological and religious subjects to each other, and to show how joining them together is crucial to the understanding of the relationship between these two areas. In the final thoughts, the author aims to reclaim the discussion on the so far established relationship, keeping alive the fruitful legacy of Oskar Pfister.
A contemporaneidade traz variadas demandas ao homem. A experiência religiosa figura dentre as demandas existentes. É inegável que o Brasil passa por uma efervescência religiosa. Cresce o número de professos e aqueles que declaram sem religião. Diante deste cenário se tem a necessidade da investigação criteriosa a partir de referenciais que buscam o balizamento equilibrado e assim expandir os estudos no campo da psicologia da religião. O pastor protestante Oskar Pfister foi um árduo pesquisador no campo, tanto da religião como da psicologia. O objetivo do presente trabalho busca compreender a relevância de Oskar Pfister e sua contribuição ao campo da psicologia da religião. Para tanto, se fez uso de uma extensa investigação bibliográfica do autor e obras correspondentes de outros autores, que serviram de base para aproximações do debate psicologia e religião, isto em três capítulos. No primeiro capítulo, se realizou uma biografia de Oskar Pfister e as principais influências epistemológicas. Tem como objetivo investigar como Oskar Pfister constrói seu pensamento até o encontro com a psicologia freudiana. No segundo capítulo, se pesquisa a contribuição de Oskar Pfister a psicologia da religião. Tem como objetivo, levantar e apontar as aproximações pfisterianas ao contexto religioso, bem como, o legado deixado no campo da psicologia da religião. No terceiro capítulo, se pesquisa o diálogo entre o pensamento pfisteriano e o fenômeno religioso. Tem como objetivo aproximar as temáticas da psicologia e religião e como estes saberes se constituem na contemporaneidade como uma fundamental base com vistas a compreensão da relação psicologia e religião. Nas reflexões finais, se objetiva resgatar a discussão da psicologia da religião ao contexto contemporâneo e assim permanecer continuidade ao frutífero legado deixado por Oskar Pfister.

This thesis aimed to determine the possible significance of the Protestant religious beliefs and the strategies of using these beliefs in solving difficulties, disease coping and health. In addition, sought to understand whether a convergence between Psychology and Religion, as cooperative resources, help in the overall health of the individual. A bibliographic review, with field research, was carried out and attended by 12 adult employees, aged between 34 and 64 years, claiming being Christian Protestants. The research was put through spontaneously and voluntarily after the communication about the purpose of the project to all the subjects, and before a written consent of each, in accordance with the guidelines established by the Ethics Committee. The concept of Religious Spiritual Coping and its techniques were used as reference in the field of clinical and health care practice relating to the validation and respect for religious aspects of patients, and also relating to the spirituality in the healing process or health injury . Later, the relevance of religious beliefs was presented, its use in daily life and influence in promoting or not a comprehensive health of respondents, using for this task personal reports. Based on the research carried out, even considering the differences between the described beliefs, results were significantly positive relating to the promotion of health and coping with stressful situations. Further research is suggested with a view to extending the scope of the Brazilian religious culture.

Full textVery little research has analyzed the conjunction of religion and self-disclosure. Following the previous research conducted by Gregory II, Pomerantz, Pettibone, and Segrist (2008), in which results showed that participants were more willing to seek treatment from a psychologist who identified with one of three major religions (Christianity, Islam, and Judaism), as opposed to a psychologist who identified as an atheist, this study also aimed to focus on the impact of a therapist’s religion on prospective clients. While remaining true to the previous study, this experiment not only looked to expose the client’s preference towards therapists’ religion, it equally accounted for the degree of devotion to said religion influencing the client’s choice of therapy. Results concluded that different from that of the Gregory et al., (2008) study, participants were just as willing to seek treatment from a psychologist who identified as atheist as they were from a psychologist who identified with one of the three major religions, regardless of participant religiosity or the religiosity of the therapist. Implications of these findings suggest that regardless of psychologists’ religion or religiosity, self-disclosure of such is of no significance.

Full textThe following essay aims the comprehension about the religious coping dealt upon migration. The phenomenological approach was chosen to reach its conclusions. From the current migratory reality, the possibility of religious coping was raised, considering the events of the migration process. The functions of religion were focused in the referred context. Up next, based on Pargament‟s studies upon the religious coping, it proceeds to the analysis of a report based on a migrant woman‟s experience. The results point the several religious practices that shall be proven effective on the field of religious coping in the referred situation. In that sense, it‟s verified the relation with sacred values, the insertion and communion in religious groups. Besides the solidarity and sharing of the same beliefs and values, possible resources become available for a migrant on the coping of issues found in his path, therefore providing help in finding a new meaning to his own experience
Este trabalho tem o objetivo de compreender como se dá o enfrentamento religioso em situação de migração. Para tanto se utilizou o método fenomenológico. A partir da realidade migratória, levantou-se a possibilidade do enfrentamento religioso, considerando as vicissitudes do processo de migração. Foram enfocadas as funções da religião no referido contexto. Em seguida, baseando-se nos estudos de Pargament sobre o enfrentamento religioso, procedeu-se à análise do relato da experiência de uma migrante. Os resultados apontam as diversas práticas religiosas que podem ser eficazes no campo do enfrentamento em situação de migração. Neste sentido observa-se como a relação com o sagrado, a inserção e a participação em grupos religiosos, além da solidariedade e da partilha das mesmas crenças e valores, se revelam possíveis recursos para o migrante no enfrentamento das dificuldades encontradas em sua trajetória, ajudando-o, assim, a dar um novo significado às próprias experiências

Full textThe alchemical hermeneutic methodology utilizes a depth psychological understanding of alchemical operations as an interpretive lens. These processes, viewed from a depth psychological perspective, become the hermeneutical foci through which to interpret select spiritual texts. Following Jung and Romanyshyn, this dissertation further develops an alchemical hermeneutic, and utilizes this textual approach in the interpretation of four texts/traditions in order to create new horizons of meaning, expand the reader’s relationship to text and self at personal and transpersonal levels, as well as broaden, deepen, and define a more psychologically sophisticated approach to certain spiritual texts. This multipaper theoretical dissertation discusses this hermeneutic process and uses the alchemical approach in the interpretation of the following texts and traditions: The Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali, The Dark Night by John of the Cross, and select passages on the heart from the Upanis&dotbelow;ads and Eastern Christian spirituality.

Full textAs the elder parts of the population are expected to become a larger proportion of the Swedish total population there is an interest in investigating their state of health, for which life satisfaction seems to be an important factor. Strong support for a correlation between life satisfaction and religiousness has been found outside of Sweden. One aim of this study was to investigate if such a correlation could also be found in secular Sweden. A strong correlation between life satisfaction and social networks has also been found both in and outside of Sweden. Following this the next aim of the study was to investigate if the social network that can be found via religious participation in for example a congregation could better explain the effect of religion on life satisfaction than religiousness itself. The participants in the study were gathered from a longitudinal study about aging and care called "The Swedish National Study on Aging and Care"(SNAC). The results did not show any correlation between religiousness and life satisfaction in Sweden. The Study indicates that the effect religiousness has on the Swedish population seems to be different from the effect it has on other populations.

The objective of this research is to observe inter-religious marriages. The encounter between two religious cultures can be, and generally is, a source of conflict. The emerging conflicts often occur not because of a different world vision, but basically because the other, by being different, threatens the identity of the individual. Facing this threat, it is necessary to strengthen their own identity. Based on interviews with six couples in inter-religious marriages, and specifically between Christians and Jews, and with children between birth and five years of ages and between thirteen and twenty four years of age, residents of the city of São Paulo, the intention of this research is to analyze how the couples deal with the challenges that arrives when one o the members of the couples belongs to a different religious tradition than the other. One of the principal challenges is how to deal with the religious education and spiritual formation of their children. The primary theoretical reference is Family Systems theory, principally the works of Murray Bowen regarding human behavior within family systems, but the research includes other secondary authorities that deal with the question of inter-cultural marriage. The intention is to discuss the implications of this reality for religious praxis and offer contributions for clinical psychology and the field of religious studies. Psychology needs to rethink its practice, leaving behind its prejudices in relation to religion and including this experience in its studies in order to inform both theory and therapy. This is fundamental in the process of understanding religious values and understanding the religiosity and spirituality of the client. On the other hand, religious institutions need to reflect on their praxis in terms of reaching families that are on the fringes of traditional religion, but still, being inter-religious, need to be recognized and respected as they are. As such, churches need to open themselves, reduce their tendency to look only at themselves and their context, and serve the world around them; even if parts of this world will never be formal members of their community.(AU)
Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo observar o casamento inter-religioso. O encontro de duas culturas religiosas pode e, provavelmente, constituirá fonte de conflito. Os conflitos emergentes podem ocorrer, não por uma visão diferente de mundo, mas essencialmente porque o outro, por ser diferente, ameaça a identidade do indivíduo. Frente à ameaça, é necessário fortalecer a própria identidade. A partir de entrevistas com seis casais em casamentos inter-religiosos, mais especificamente, entre cristãos e judeus, e com filhos com idade entre zero e cinco anos e entre quatorze e vinte e quatro anos de idade, residentes em São Paulo, Capital, pretendi analisar como os casais lidam com os desafios que surgem quando um cônjuge pertence a uma tradição religiosa diferente da do outro. Dentre os desafios, está o de lidar com a educação religiosa ou a formação espiritual de seus filhos. Utilizando-se como referencial a Terapia Sistêmica Familiar, principalmente o trabalho de Paul Watzlawick sobre a comunicação e o de Murray Bowen sobre o funcionamento humano dentro dos sistemas familiares, além de outros referenciais auxiliares para trabalhar a questão intercultural no casamento, pretendi discutir as implicações para a práxis religiosa e oferecer contribuições à clínica psicológica e às ciências da religião. A psicologia necessita repensar sua prática, deixando o preconceito em relação à religião de lado e incluindo essa em seus estudos, de modo a aproximar o discurso e a prática do terapeuta, uma vez que pode tomar consciência de seus próprios valores religiosos quando buscar compreender a religião e a espiritualidade de sua clientela. Por sua vez, as instituições religiosas necessitam refletir sobre sua práxis, de modo a alcançar as famílias que se encontram na periferia das religiões. Famílias que solicitam uma orientação, uma formação religiosa, mas que, sendo inter-religiosas, necessitam ser reconhecidas e respeitadas como tal. Portanto, as igrejas precisam abrir-se, deixar de olhar para dentro de si mesmas e servir ao mundo, mesmo que parte desse mundo nunca venha a se tornar formalmente membro da comunidade.(AU)

Full textCartesian dualism is analyzed as a psychological image, instead of as a philosophical proposition. This is done by first arguing that elements of existing commentary are indicative of a psychological complex, acting unconsciously, in contemporary academic communities. As a hermeneutic study, these elements are then further interpreted through a Jungian lens, specifically cultural complex theory. Myth is used to highlight and identify the deep psychological structures that are active in what I am calling the Cartesian Split complex. In this new context, possible origins are explored in cultural history, as well as its purpose, with potential lessons offered for a wide range of academic fields, including depth psychology. Specifically, there is a call to refine terminology used for consciousness, as well as for the overall mind-body dichotomy. Also, a new approach is offered for the history of consciousness. Most importantly, a diagnosis is given concerning the present nature of consciousness, and a potential remedy is offered, in the form of a new reading of the original texts. Such a new reading, however, depends on a new perspective, that which is constructed by the present study.

A questão penitenciária é amplamente discutida na sociedade atual, seja por aspectos relacionados à segurança pública, pela (in)eficiência do sistema penitenciário na recuperação de apenados ou por suas condições estruturais. A realidade brasileira nos mostra um universo prisional deficitário e carente de políticas que efetivem a garantia dos direitos dos detentos. Nesse contexto, atividades religiosas têm assegurado espaço nos presídios, que são vistos como um campo fértil de atuação. Acredita-se que o discurso religioso seja o discurso com o qual o detento mais tenha contato e que dentre os tipos de assistência, a religiosa seja a que mais se cumpra na prisão. O objetivo desse trabalho foi investigar os significados da vida prisional e religiosa entre internos de um presídio e voluntários que realizam a assistência religiosa na instituição. A pesquisa foi organizada em duas etapas e desenvolvida no Instituto de Readaptação Social (IRS), Vila Velha, Espírito Santo. Em um primeiro momento, que durou cerca de dois meses, foi realizada a observação das práticas religiosas na unidade. Após esse período foram entrevistados individualmente, com auxílio de um de roteiro semiestruturado, seis agentes religiosos e 11 internos do IRS. Todas as entrevistas foram gravadas em áudio mediante autorização dos participantes, que assinaram um termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido, e posteriormente foram transcritas integralmente, para serem submetidas à análise por meio do software Alceste. Utilizou-se também o recurso de diário de campo, onde foram registrados todos os dias de visita a unidade prisional. Pressupostos teóricos de Michel Foucault e Erving Goffman orientaram as discussões desta pesquisa. No estudo realizado com os voluntários religiosos, foi possível perceber singularidades entre as práticas dos diferentes grupos religiosos. A assistência religiosa prestada pelos grupos católico e espírita apresenta semelhanças e parece mais voltada ao coletivo carcerário, sendo a religiosidade menos enfatizada, embora seja um aspecto presente. Católicos e espíritas entendem que a assistência religiosa tem o objetivo de garantir melhores condições de vida aos detentos, pela busca do respeito aos seus direitos. A ressocialização é um objetivo presente, mas é vista a partir da transformação das condições de vida na prisão. O principal objetivo da assistência religiosa evangélica é a conversão, portanto o foco das atividades é no indivíduo e na sua transformação pessoal. A ressocialização, entre os evangélicos, é vista como uma transformação íntima na vida do detento por meio da assimilação de uma doutrina religiosa. No estudo realizado com os internos do presídio foi possível observar algumas estratégias de vida que os detentos criam para viver na prisão. Embora o universo prisional possa ser considerado um espaço de mortificação, os internos não se entregam a esse processo de despotencialização da vida. Na busca de alternativas possíveis para lidar com o encarceramento, criam modos de vida que rompem com essa ideia de sujeição ao sistema penitenciário. O tempo de prisão pode estar associado a determinadas formas de lidar com o encarceramento. As análises indicaram que quanto maior o período de prisão, mais intenso parece ser o processo de mortificação do eu. O encontro com o mundo religioso na prisão também é uma via possível para lidar com o encarceramento. A religiosidade permite aos internos significar as suas vidas, além de ser um recurso para enfrentar situações adversas na prisão. Por meio dessa vivência os detentos parecem sentir certa autonomia, embora estejam submetidos a um regime de controle. As práticas religiosas funcionam, dessa maneira, como ajustamentos secundários, que permitem aos detentos certo conforto psíquico, uma satisfação que seria difícil de ser atingida por outros meios, nas circunstâncias em que eles se encontram. Enfatiza-se a importância de se construir na prisão espaços que não tenham efeitos mortificadores, mas que potencializem os modos de vida. É fundamental que o detento tenha a possibilidade de cumprir sua pena em melhores condições e de compreender a sua vida por distintas vias discursivas. Transformar o sistema penal é urgente, para que o universo penitenciário não seja um mecanismo de aplicação de práticas punitivas, coercitivas e moralistas. É preciso romper com a visão do presídio como uma instituição custodial
The penitentiary issue is broadly discussed in today s society for the aspects related to public security, the (in)efficiency of the system in recuperating the prisoners, or because of its structural conditions. The Brazilian reality shows us a deficient prison universe which lacks policies that can provide prisoners rights. In such context, religious activities have secured some space inside the penitentiaries, which are seen as a fertile ground for their actuation. It is believed that the religious speech is the one with which the prisoner has more contact and, among the various types of assistance, it is the most effective in prisons. The objective of this study was to investigate the meaning of prison and religious life for the interns of a prison and the voluntaries who give religious assistance inside the institution. The research was done in two steps and performed at Instituto de Reablitação Social (IRS), in Vila Velha, Espirito Santo. At the first moment, which lasted about two months, the religious practice inside the institution was observed. After this period, six religious agents and 11 inmates were interviewed with the help of a semi-structured script. All the interviews were recorded with the authorization of the subjects, who signed a clear term of agreement. Later, they were thoroughly transcribed in order to be analyzed by Alceste software. A journal was also used and every day of visitation was registered. Theories by Michel Foucault and Erving Goffman guided the discussions in this work. In the study with the religious group, it was possible to notice singularities between the practices of different groups. The religious assistance given by Catholics and Spiritists present similarities and seem to care more about the prison collective than about religion, although this element is present. Catholics and Spiritists understand that religious assistance has the objective of guarantying better conditions of life for the detents, and respect for their rights. Resocialization is a goal, but it is seen from the perspective of changing life conditions in prison. The main objective of the Evangelical assistance is conversion, so the focus of activities in on the individual and their personal transformation. Resocialization, for the Evangelicals, is seen as an intimate transformation in the life of the inmate by the assimilation of a religious doctrine. In the study done with the prisoners, it was possible to notice some strategies that they create to live inside the prisons. Although the prison universe is considered a space for mortification, the incarcerated do not give in to such process of depotentiation of life. In the search for possible alternatives to deal with imprisonment, they find ways of living that refuse this idea of submission to the prison system. The time of sentence may be associated with certain ways to deal with imprisonment. The analysis indicates that the longer the period, the more intense seems the process of mortification of the self. The meeting with the religious world inside the prison is also a viable way to endure sentence time. Religiosity allows the interns to find meaning for their lives, besides being a resource to help facing adverse situations in prison. Such way of living seems to give the detents some autonomy, although submitted to control. Religious practices work, this way, as secondary adjustments that give the inmates some kind of psychological comfort; a satisfaction that would be hard to find due to the circumstances they are experiencing. It is necessary to emphasize the need to build, inside the prisons, spaces that do not impose mortification; spaces that promote vitalization. It is fundamental that the prisoner have the possibility of serving his sentence in better conditions and understanding their life through distinct discursive ways. The transformation of the prison system is an urgent need so that the prison universe does not become a mechanism for punitive, coercive, and moralist practices. It is necessary to stop seeing the prison as a custodial institution

Full textStudien avser undersöka hur unga Jehovas vittnen håller sin tro övertygande. Frågeställningar har varit hur de hanterar den mångfald av världsuppfattningar, värderingar och normer som inte är förenliga med Jehovas vittnens lära, hur deras tro bekräftas kontinuerligt samt om de upplever sig skilda från den icke-troende världen. Tre unga Jehovas vittnen har intervjuats för denna studie. Deras svar har relaterats till vad tidigare forskning och sociologiska teorier säger om att hålla tro övertygande, att vara ung och religiös samt om att vara ett Jehovas vittne. Frågeställningar och syfte besvaras genom ett flertal faktorer som träder fram i studien: församlingen utgör en starkt normbildande primärgrupp och utgör en stabil plausibilitetsstruktur. Ungdomarna begränsar sina sociala relationer till främst inom rörelsen. De bekräftar sin tro offentligt genom kyrklig aktivitet. Det framstår som att tron blir övertygande genom att rörelsens normer kommer först för alla vittnen, vilket bygger upp en varaktig plausibilitetsstruktur.
