Full textAbstract:
Participation in religious services is associated with numerous aspects of human flourishing, including happiness and life satisfaction, mental and physical health, meaning and purpose, character and virtue, and close social relationships. Evidence for the effects of religious communities on these flourishing outcomes now comes from rigorous longitudinal study designs with extensive confounding control. The associations with flourishing are much stronger for communal religious participation than for spiritual-religious identity or for private practices. While the social support is an important mechanism relating religion to health, this only explains a small portion of the associations. Numerous other mechanisms appear to be operative as well. It may be the confluence of the religious values and practices, reinforced by social ties and norms, that give religious communities their powerful effects on so many aspects of human flourishing.

Full textAbstract:
Leak and Fish (1999) provided initial evidence for the validity of the Religious Maturity Scale – Version 2 (RM-2). The scale was developed to assess six areas of religious maturity specified by Allport (1950). Consequently, information concerning the number and nature of factors underlying responses to the scale is important. The analysis revealed four factors corresponding to the dynamic, differentiated, comprehensive, and heuristic aspects of religious maturity. The results have implications for the future development of specific subscales as well as for the value of Allport's theory of religious maturity.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of religion in psychiatry and psychotherapy and it introduces a context-oriented approach to religion. Design/methodology/approach The paper opted for a selective literature review to highlight significant issues with regard to mainstream psychology. Findings It provides a short summary on the historical neglect and exclusion from clinical practice and shows how religion was integrated into the mainstream of psychotherapy and psychiatry. A quantitative and universalistic approach to religion is dominant. The widespread approach to religious coping by Pargament is presented as well as related findings with regard to religion and mental health. Research limitations/implications The paper includes implications for the development of a context-oriented inclusion of religion and encourages for associated empirical research. Originality/value With a critical inclusion of contexts, professionals may stay alerted to the issue that health and disorders are not ontological facts but contain moral codes of a current society. It takes the social context and unequal power relations as the starting point for a partisan cooperation with the affected persons.

Full textAbstract:
This article opens with a retelling of colonial accounts of the ‘mania of 1911’, which took place in the Kamba region of Kenya Colony. The story of this ‘psychic epidemic’ and others like it would be recounted over the years as evidence depicting the predisposition of Africans to episodic mass hysteria. This use of medical and psychological language in primarily non-medical contexts serves to highlight the intellectual and political roles psychiatric ideas played in colonial governance. The salience of such ideas was often apparent in the face of increasing social tension, charismatic leadership and a proliferation of East African prophetic movements. This article addresses the attempts by the colonial authorities to understand or characterize, in psychological terms, a progression of African ‘rebellious types’ in society that often took the form of prophets and visionaries, but were diagnosed as epileptic, neurotic or suffering from ‘religious mania’.

Full textAbstract:
Arguments opposing same-sex marriage are often made on religious grounds. In five studies conducted in the United States and Canada (combined N = 1,673), we observed that religious opposition to same-sex marriage was explained, at least in part, by conservative ideology and linked to sexual prejudice. In Studies 1 and 2, we discovered that the relationship between religiosity and opposition to same-sex marriage was mediated by explicit sexual prejudice. In Study 3, we saw that the mediating effect of sexual prejudice was linked to political conservatism. Finally, in Studies 4a and 4b we examined the ideological underpinnings of religious opposition to same-sex marriage in more detail by taking into account two distinct aspects of conservative ideology. Results revealed that resistance to change was more important than opposition to equality in explaining religious opposition to same-sex marriage.

The identity, belongingness to the larger society as well as mental well-being of minorities in Pakistan may have suffered as a result of recent social and political attacks on Christians. The present study was aimed at finding and comparing various aspects of identity (i.e., personal, social, relational, and collective) and mental well-being among adolescents from the majority (Muslims) and minority (Christian) religious groups of Lahore district in Pakistan. The study hypothesized that adolescents of religious minorities would have a lower level of sense of aspects of identity than their dominant counterparts. The sample comprised of 414 male and female students (Muslim = 225, Christian =189) with an age range from 13 to 18years, drawn from two Muslim and two Christian schools. Data was collected using the Aspects of Identity Questionnaire (Cheek & Briggs, 2013), and Warwick–Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (Tennant et al., 2007). Results indicated a significant difference in the level of awareness of aspects of identity as well as well-being between majority and minority adolescents. Furthermore, within the majority group, there was also a significant gender difference in social identity and mental well-being with Muslim boys scoring higher than Muslim girls on these variables. Implications of the study are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Are there trans-religious, trans-cultural constants in psychological aspects of religion across different religions and cultures? An excessively culturalistic approach may overlook this possibility, putting an emphasis on the uniqueness of the religious phenomenon studied as emerging from a complex of multiple contextual factors. This article reviews empirical studies in psychology of religion in the 1990s that mainly include participants from different Christian denominations, but also from other religions: Muslims, Jews and Hindus. It appeared, at first, that several cross-cultural/religious differences can be documented (especially between Catholics and Protestants), but the interpretation of these differences is not simple, as other factors may interfere. Secondly it turned out that an impressive series of psychological constants also exist across different denominations, religions, and cultures. These constants include personality correlates, gender and gender orientation, positive and negative values, cognitive and affective aspects, identity formation, social attitudes and consequences.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the possible relationship between social interest and marital adjustment in a selected group of married couples. Another variable relating to spiritual well-being and religious participation is also considered. In the studies reviewed, the concept of social interest as proposed by Adler has been supported as a psychological construct. It has generally correlated with characteristics that are viewed as social interest components. By contrast, it has generally related negatively with characteristics that are inconsistent with the concept. Of the investigations conducted, most have focused on the relationship between social interest and some aspect of individual functioning, such as psychological well-being, health, mood states, and locus of control. There has been little investigation between social interest and some aspect of individual functioning, such as psychological well-being, health, mood states and locus of control. There has been little investigation between social interest and marital satisfaction and, additionally, the possible relationship to religious participation. The results of this study support a positive relationship between social interest and marital satisfaction, a positive relationship[ between social interest and religious participation, and a positive relationship between marital satisfaction and religious participation.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MEdPsych)-- Stellenbosch University, 2012.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to explore teachers‟ understanding of inclusive education within an independent Islamic school. The research was designed to explore the way the values and principles of tolerance and respect for religious and cultural diversity might be accommodated or promoted within an independent Islamic school in South Africa. Such schools are guided by the aims and objectives of Islamic education, as defined at the First World Conference on Muslim Education held in Makkah, Saudi Arabia in 1977. However, such schools are also bound by the aims and objectives of inclusive education, as propagated by the Department of Education, which strives to promote religious and cultural diversity within a democratic society. In this study the views and experiences of nine teachers with regard to inclusivity, cultural and religious tolerance and democratic citizenship were researched. It was argued that teachers and schools represent the earliest opportunity for learners to develop meaningful relationships with and positive attitudes towards others; this enables learners to feel valued and included as citizens within a democratic and diverse society. This qualitative study was limited to one independent Islamic school in the Western Cape. The data was collected through semi-structured personal and focus group interviews and was analysed within an interpretive paradigm. The findings were that whilst the participants agreed that access to the school should be open to all learners irrespective of religion, most felt that non-Muslim learners should be taught separately. Though a school environment should promote tolerance and respectful attitudes towards learners from different cultures and backgrounds, the participants supported a school ethos that was founded on Islamic principles. The main recommendation of this study is that the independent Islamic schools should give careful consideration to their role within society if they wish to create a democratic citizenry and promote religious and cultural diversity.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie studie was om onderwysers se begrip van insluitende opvoeding binne ‟n onafhanklike Islamitiese skool te eksploreer. Die navorsing was ontwerp om te eksploreer hoe die waardes en beginsels van verdraagsaamheid en respek vir godsdiens en kulturele diversiteit geakkommodeer en bevorder kan word binne ‟n Islamitiese skool in Suid-Afrika. Hierdie tipe skole volg die doelwitte en doelstellings van Islamitiese opvoeding, soos gedefinieer by die Eerste Wêreld Konferensie oor Moslem Opvoeding in Makkah, Saudi Arabia in 1977. Hierdie skole is wel ook verbonde aan die doelwitte en doelstellings van inklusiewe opvoeding, soos voorgeskryf deur die Onderwysdepartement, wat streef vir die bevordering van godsdiens en kulturele diversiteit binne ‟n demokratiese samelewing. Die meninge en ervarings van nege opvoeders in verband met inklusiwiteit, godsdiens en kulturele verdraagsaamheid en demokratiese burgerskap was ondersoek. Die argument was dat opvoeders en skole verteenwoordig was van die vroegste geleenthede vir leerders om waardevolle verhoudings met positiewe houdings teenoor ander te ontwikkel. Dit stel leerders in staat om waardevol en ingesluit te voel as burgers binne ‟n demokratiese en diverse samelewing. Hierdie kwalitatiewe studie was afgebaken tot een onafhanklike Islamitiese skool in die Weskaap. Die data was ingesamel deur semi-gestruktureerde persoonlike en fokus groep onderhoude en was geanaliseer binne ‟n interpretatiewe paradigma. Die uitkomste was dat deelnemers daarmee saamgestem het dat die skool oop moet wees vir alle leerders ongeag van hul godsdiens. Die meerderheid het wel gevoel dat nie-Moslem leerders aparte onderrig moet ontvang; alhoewel ‟n skool ‟n omgewing moet bevorder vir verdraagsaamheid en respekvolle houdings teenoor leerders van verskillende kulture en agtergronde. Die deelnemers het ‟n skool etos ondersteun wat baseer is op Islamitiese beginsels. Die hoof aanbeveling van hierdie studie is dat onafhanklike Islamitiese skole versigtige oorweging moet gee aan hul rol binne ‟n samelewing indien hul ‟n demokratiese burgerskap wil skep en godsdiens en kulturele diversiteit wil bevorder.

Full textAbstract:
Esta dissertação tem como Objetivo Geral identificar e analisar os mecanismos psicossociais e religiosos que levam adolescentes e jovens a mudarem de Igreja. Visa-se
verificar, com os Objetivos Específicos, a identidade religiosa desses adolescentes e jovens, detectando a inquietude adolescente e juvenil na busca e mudança de Igreja ou comunidade de fé. Pretendeu-se, também, a partir do entendimento das suas experiências religiosas do
sagrado, descobrir a real vivência religiosa e familiar dos membros da amostra. Identificando e analisando o fenômeno religioso da mudança de Igreja, reflete-se sobre os mecanismos psicossociais e religiosos que os levaram ao trânsito religioso. A metodologia consta de uma Pesquisa de Campo com a aplicação de um Questionário Misto de 30 questões a uma amostra (aleatoriamente) escolhida de 46 sujeitos, sendo 26 adolescentes e 20 jovens do Liceu de Artes e Ofícios/Unicap, na faixa etária de 14 a 25 anos, que já foram católicos e hoje, pelo trânsito religioso para outros credos, assumem Igrejas diferentes que não mais aquelas de sua tradição familiar. Com os dados em mãos, foi feita a análise quantitativa, empregando a porcentagem e outros instrumentos estatísticos necessários, e a análise qualitativa das vivências e representações, confrontando-as com as teorias embasadoras, numa confiabilidade de 95% e 5% de possibilidade de erro. Percebe-se, nos resultados, a necessidade de uma maior introspecção dos adolescentes e jovens entrevistados para um maior entendimento e aprofundamento dos diferentes valores psicossociais e religiosos, justificando-se a pesquisa que os levaram a mudar de Igreja. Reconhece-se que a flexibilidade e instabilidade da fase do desenvolvimento adolescente e juvenil são alguns dos fatores provocadores da mudança de Igreja, ou comunidade de fé. Com a análise sobre os dados, possíveis estratégias podem ser detectadas, contribuindo para uma melhor atuação com adolescentes e jovens nas Instituições católicas (comunidades e grupos de vivência cristã) com informações pertinentes sobre a religiosidade entre adolescentes e jovens e o transitar religioso dessa clientela que experiência um visível pluralismo religioso. Conclui-se que, sendo o assunto mudança de Igreja entre adolescentes e jovens pouco pesquisado, a identificação e análise dos mecanismos psicossociais e religiosos podem levar a sugestões de estratégias educacionais (familiares e escolares) e pastorais, de um modo mais realista e crítico, ante as ofertas religiosas e atuais desafios da Modernidade, mostrando aos adolescentes e jovens o que é positivo na sua antiga ou nova Igreja, e enfocando a necessidade de uma pertença religiosa mais consciente, estável e integradora de sua personalidade de adolescente e de jovem.This dissertation has as a general purpose to identify and analyze which psychological, social and religious factors lead the young adult and teenagers to change their religion. The purpose is to identify through specific objectives, the young adult and teenagers religious identity, detecting their restlessness to find and change their religion or faith. Also, the real religious and familiar experiences of the sample selected was researched through the understanding of their holy religious experiences. It is possible to reflect over the psychological,social and religious factors that lead to the religion change through the identification and analyze of the religious phenomenon regarding the change of religion. The methodology consists of field research with the application of a 30 mix questions questionnaire applied to a randomly selected sample of 46 persons, from which 26 teenagers and 20 young adults of the Liceu de Artes e Ofícios / Unicap (Lyceum of Artes and Crafts of the Catholic University of Pernambuco). The sample selected comprehended youths with average age from 14 to 25 years, who were catholic and nowadays moved to a different religion, despite the family tradition. Based on the data collected, a quantitative analyze was performed using the percentage and other statistic instruments needed. The qualitative analyze of the life experience and representations was also performed, checking the theoretical basis and expecting a reliance of 95% and a 5% error possibility. It is noted in the results the need of a deeper teenager and young adult introspection in order to obtain a better understanding of their different religious and psychosocial values, which justify the research of the factors that lead them to change the religion. It is recognized that the teenager and young adult flexibility and instability phase are some of the reasons that cause the religion change of faith. Possible strategies aiming a better interaction with teenagers and young adults in the Catholic institutions (Christian communities and groups), who are facing a visible religious pluralism, can be detected through the analyze of the data collected. It was concluded that since the subject change of religions between teenagers and young adults is not deeply researched, the identification and analyze of the psychosocial and religious mechanisms may identify educational and pastoral strategies (familiar and scholar), in a realistic and critic way, facing the religions offer and actual modernity challenges, that will show to teenagers and young adults what is positive in the new and old religions, focusing the need of a more conscious and stable religious presence in their personality.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MTh (Practical Theology and Missiology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The focus of the thesis is on the HIV and AIDS-related stigma and stigmatisation of people who try to live positively with HIV/AIDS within the pandemic. The basic assumption is that there is interplay between the HIVAIDS-related stigma as a cultural phenomenon and the negative perception of the human body. Since a human being is created corporeal and re-created due to the fact that human embodiment is a fundamental ingredient for the understanding of soul, It is argued that in a pastoral approach, a person should be understood holistically. Anthropology within the traditional kerygmatic approach focused mainly on the notion of sin (corruption totalis) within the theological understanding of God’s judgement (judgemental attitude). I have proposed that pastoral anthropology should adopt constructive paradigms and point towards the integration of embodiment (wholeness) in a realistic approach rather than emphasising the notion of sin and forms of dualism. The thesis departs from an eschatological and pneumatological view of the human being, in which the concepts of resurrection and hope are equally crucial. I further argue that a Christian spiritual perspective on embodiment is potentially destigmatising itself. In terms of a pastoral hermeneutic I have shown that in destigmatisation the transformation of the HIV and AIDS-related stigma corresponds to the transformation of the mindset and paradigm of a person (habitus). Through the process of destigmatisation people discover meaning and are enabled to live fully embodied and responsible lives. The thesis is designed as a literature study based on text analysis and hermeneutical reflection. Moreover, in order to develop a pastoral anthropological view, the Scripture is used as a reference point.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die navorsing fokus op die fenomeen van stigmatisiering binne die HIV/AIDS pandemie. Die kernargument is dat stigmatisering as 'n sosiaal-kulturele konstrukt binne die netwerk van verhoudinge direk in verband staan met 'n bepaalde destruktiewe persepsie wat die vraagstuk van liggaamlikheid onmiddellik raak. Vandaar die verdere fokus op die verband tussen liggaamlikheid en die verstaan van die menslike siel binne die raamwerk van 'n pastorale antropologie. Die teologiese invalshoek is die eskatologiese paradigma, die mens as 'n pneumatiese wese en nuwe skepping. Liggaamlikheid deel gelykoorspronklik aan hierdie nuwe wees-funksie van die mens sodat verstaan van die mens as „beliggaamde siel“ en „besielde liggaam“ alle vorme van dualisme in teologiese antropologie teëwerk. Die totale mens is as ‘n beliggaamde mens geskep sodat in pastorale antropologie die menslike persoon holisties verstaan moet word. Om menswees bloot vanuit die perspektief van sonde te benader hou nie rekening met die realisme van die Bybel wat die mens binne die raamwerk van die wysheidsliteratuur sien vanuit die perspektief van genade en vernuwing. Eensydige fokus op die paradigma van sonde dra by tot destruktiewe veroordelende houding (judgemental attitude). Volgens die aard van kruisteologie is die „smet“ en „stigma“ van sonde daar oorwin. In die lig van die opstandingsperspektief is die „dood van stigma“ totaal uitgewis. Hierdie opstandingperspektief moet verreken word in teologiese model wat gerig is op prosesse van destigmatisering binne pastorale hermeneutiek. Die implikasie hiervan is die transformasie van stigmatisernde paradigmas en die skep van pastorale houding (habitus) van begrip en medelye. Deur ‘n dergelike proses van destigmatisasie word mense in die kern van hul weesfunksie kwalitatief bemagtig ten einde vervulde lewens te kan ly. Die tesis volg kwalitatiewe benadering. Dit is voorts literêre studie gebaseer op teks-analises, kritiese reflektering en hermeneutiese metodologie.

McCoy, Brenda G. ""God will get me through": African American women coping with breast cancer and implications for support groups." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2005. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc4763/.
Full textAbstract:
This research examines the coping processes of African American women with breast cancer and how those processes relate to low usage of cancer support groups by these women. Prior coping research has utilized predominantly White samples. The limited research on African American coping responses is conflicting and characterized by small samples and non-probability sampling techniques. In this study, 26 respondents from Central and North Texas metropolitan areas were interviewed, including 9 key informants, 9 African American breast cancer survivors, and 8 White survivors. The data suggest that African American and White women cope with breast cancer in significantly different ways. Culture appears to account for the differences. All African American breast cancer survivors identified faith as their primary coping strategy. In contrast, only half of the White survivors claimed faith as their primary coping strategy, but like the other White survivors, tended to rely on multiple coping strategies. The African American survivors conceptualized God as an active member of their support network. Most prayed for healing, and several attributed examples of healing to God's intervention. The White survivors found God's presence in the actions of other people. They prayed for strength, peace, and courage to endure the illness. The use of faith as a coping strategy was the most significant difference between the African American and White breast cancer survivors, but different social support needs were also evident. White survivors readily disclosed the details of their illness and actively sought the assistance of other people. African American women were much less likely to discuss their illness with other persons and expressed a greater inclination to rely on themselves. This study indicates that cancer support groups must be structured to consider cultural coping differences for wider African American usage. Coping research conducted on primarily African American samples is necessary to develop interventions intended to serve African Americans.

Full textAbstract:
This study offers an overdue exploration of the early years of the deaconess community in Neuendettelsau from a gender perspective. Drawing on rich archival material, it focuses on the process of the formation of a distinctive collective identity. Central to this study is the assumption, drawn from the social sciences, that collective identity is a social construction which requires the participation of the whole group through identification and which is consolidated by developing specific rituals, symbols, codes and normative texts, which facilitate integration, and by constructing external boundaries, which separate from the world and wider church. The centrifugal forces which came into play when deaconesses were sent out in isolation were counterbalanced by a communal life which offered forms of participation and identification for the individual members and which consolidated their sense of belonging. The first chapter introduces the methodology. Chapter Two explores the social, cultural and theological context of the foundation of the Deaconess Institute, and offers a brief outline of the institution's historical development. The third chapter offers an in-depth analysis of the initiation ceremony as a rite which both admitted into the community and conferred an ecclesiastical office. Chapter Four analyses formative and normative texts that shed light on the community's norms, values, and expectations. In the fifth chapter, non-literary means of consolidating and affirming the deaconesses' collective identity are explored. This study concludes that the process of the emergence of a specific deaconess culture was pervaded by bourgeois norms, values, patterns of behaviour and notions about gender roles which measured out the women's radius of action and were at times difficult to reconcile with the deaconess profession.

Full textAbstract:
The word “belief” evokes concepts such as religious or political beliefs, however there is more to belief than cultural aspects. The formation of beliefs depends on information acquired through subjective sampling and informants. Recent developments in the study of animal cognition suggest that animals also hold beliefs and there are some aspects that underly the formation of beliefs which are shared with other animal species, namely the relationship between causality, predictability and utility of beliefs. This review explores the biological roots of belief formation and suggests explanations for how evolution shaped the mind to harbour complex concepts based on linguistic structures held by humans. Furthermore, it suggests that beliefs are shaped by the type and process of information acquisition which progresses through three levels of complexity.

The practice of giving medications for psychiatric conditions has inevitable psychological aspects. A central one is transference and countertransference, the unconscious and conscious emotions that arise between patient and clinician. Secondary gain can be another factor, with conscious non-medical goals on the part of the patient—as in other psychiatric settings, patients either come to treatment, or avoid it, because of reasons or factors which may have nothing to do with the actual treatment itself. Pill-seeking patients who come for clinical care sometimes aggressively seek medications. The social role of the psychiatric clinician is relevant as well, as patients in the Western world in particular go to mental health professionals for concerns that sometimes are non-medical in nature. In the past, people with personal problems unrelated to diseases often went to priests or other religious guides. Currently, in the industrialized West, fewer people follow those traditions and many instead seek the help of mental health professionals.

The subject of the study is transportation by waterways, in particular, the activity of sea and river transport in conditions of occurrence of unfavorable conditions, the interaction of the ship's crew and the behavior of ship personnel when making decisions on water transport, manifestations of risky events and negative consequences on waterways, decision-making by the boat master in stressful, force majeure, regular and emergency situations. Methodology. The activity of water transport is inherently a complex system. At the same time, it is even more complex than the organization of IT technologies. Given this, the methodology for studying water transport risk factors is comprehensive. Among the constituent elements, we note: An interdisciplinary approach using the methods of risk theory, Probability Theory, risk management theory, transport law theory, IT law theory, psychology, etc. The aim of the study is to find out the risk factors inherent in the water transport industry. Risks in water transport are difficult to predict since foresight is not always an objective category. The objective side of risk in this case is manifested in the fact that it reflects real-life phenomena, processes, and aspects of life. The objective side of risk is since the risk exists regardless of how it is realized, considered, or ignored. The objective side is determined by the probabilistic nature of many processes, and the multivariance of relations. In addition, the risk remains associated with the choice of certain alternatives, calculating the probabilities of their outcome. So, from this understanding it follows that its nature is broader and is associated with the laws of development of the external and internal environment of the organization, as well as with the presence of contradictory trends, imperfection, spontaneity and randomness of events and phenomena. This means that there is and manifests another side of risk – the subjective one. It is obvious because people perceive the same state of risk differently due to different psychological, moral, ideological, religious principles and attitudes. Here, the manifestation of the subjective side is also not in doubt. At the same time, the operation of water transport in a modern economic format requires anticipating and preventing crisis phenomena, reducing the negative consequences of internal and external factors. For an objective assessment of the risks of water transport activities, it makes it necessary to choose effective methods of managing them and requires an adequate scientifically based classification of risks, taking into account the specifics of the functioning of water transport enterprises. The scientific novelty is as follows: for the first time, risk factors in water transport are analyzed; for the first time, it is proposed to consider the behavior and necessary competencies of a ship operator when operating a ship in an emergency situation from the point of view of social engineering; the previously proposed indicative risk factors associated with maritime navigation are supplemented; it is proved that the risks that arise during navigation are fundamentally related to unfavorable living conditions (functioning of the team organization under the sole chairmanship of the captain, as well as his ability and the ability of ship officers to make the right decisions not only in regular situations but also in force majeure conditions (emergency situations). Risks in navigation in emergency situations are caused by dangerous phenomena (force majeure) in the natural, man-made and social environment caused by negative trends in the development of events that lead to dangerous crisis situations when it becomes necessary to take the right actions to overcome the danger.
