Abstract

ABSTRACT While trust in God is a fundamental component of religious life, it has received little attention in the literature. The current study considers trust-based prayer expectancies and how these may influence life satisfaction in a longitudinal study of Christian older adults from the United States. We find that older adults with increasing trust in God over time as well as those with stable high levels of trust in God reported higher life satisfaction. The relationship between increasing trust in God and higher life satisfaction was stronger for Black older adults. We then discuss the implications of these findings.

永远不会超过我的承受能力?对种族差异的纵向研究:基于信任的对神的祈祷期望和对以后生活的满足

虽然信靠上帝是宗教生活的基本组成部分，但在文献中却很少受到关注。目前的研究考虑了基于信任的祈祷期望，以及这些期望如何影响来自美国的基督徒老年人的生活满意度。我们发现，随着时间的推移，对上帝的信任度越来越高的老年人，以及那些对上帝的信任度稳定在较高水平的老年人，报告了更高的生活满意度。在黑人老年人中，对上帝信任的增加与生活满意度的提高之间的关系更为密切。然后我们讨论这些发现的含义。

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.
