Abstract

ABSTRACT This study examined stressful life events, discrimination, and well-being among older African Americans. Through a risk and resilience framework we evaluate the role of subjective religiosity as a moderator. Stressful life events and discrimination represent a double jeopardy risk profile in which discrimination exacerbates the negative relationship between stressful life events and well-being. Subjective religiosity is a resilience resource that should buffer the effect of discrimination on the stress – well-being link. Stressful life events and discrimination predicted poorer well-being, discrimination exacerbated the negative effects of stressful life events on depression and life-satisfaction, but subjective religiosity reduced these effects.

主观宗教信仰对中老年非裔美国人压力生活事件的恢复力

本研究调查了老年非裔美国人的压力生活事件、歧视和幸福感。通过风险和弹性框架，我们评估了主观宗教信仰作为调节者的作用。压力生活事件和歧视表现出双重危险风险，其中歧视加剧了压力生活事件与幸福感之间的负相关关系。主观宗教信仰是一种弹性资源，可以缓冲歧视对压力-幸福感联系的影响。压力生活事件和歧视预示着较差的幸福感，歧视加剧了压力生活事件对抑郁和生活满意度的负面影响，但主观宗教信仰降低了这些影响。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Religion, Spirituality and Aging is an interdisciplinary, interfaith professional journal in which the needs, aspirations, and resources of aging constituencies come clearly into focus. Combining practical innovation and scholarly insight, the peer-reviewed journal offers timely information and probing articles on such subjects as long-term care for the aging, support systems for families of the aging, retirement, counseling, death, ethical issues, and more . Providing a crucial balance between theory and practice, the journal informs secular professionals – administrators, counselors, nurses, physicians, recreational rehabilitative therapists, and social workers – about developments in the field of Religion, Spirituality, and Aging. The journal also serves as a resource for religious professionals, such as pastors, religious educators, chaplains, and pastoral counselors who work with aging people and their families.
