The current pilot research uses a mixed-methods approach to describe variations in everyday theologies of forgiveness across culture. Universal understandings of forgiveness were documented among Study 1 participants who represented three American Christian subcultures (Brazilian-Americans, Chinese-Americans, and American students), replicated in Study 2 (with Hong Kong church members and American students). Members of non-American cultures described efforts to reach social harmony by maintaining a culturally appropriate tension between reconciliation and responsibility in relationships, e.g., by demonstrating concerns with saving face, with the impact of violations on the larger community, and for personal responsibility in mitigating interpersonal violations. Differences among participants in these pilot studies were associated with the different cultural histories of the participants’ cultures and whether the cultures they represent are broadly categorized as collectivist or individualist.","PeriodicalId":46761,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology and Theology","volume":"49 1","pages":"142 - 160"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0091647120956959","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45248166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Clinical Integrative Practice (CIP)","authors":"Brad D. Strawn","doi":"10.1177/0091647120956964","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/0091647120956964","url":null,"abstract":"It’s been 67 years since Fritz Kunkel first coined the term “integration” (Vande Kemp, 1984) and this subspecialty of psychology continues to grow and evolve. Larger and more frequent grants are being awarded yearly for studies in the psychology of religion, integrative journals continue to publish excellent scholarship, and professional integrative graduate training programs continue to train scholars and practitioners. Today we rarely need to engage in apologetics on behalf of integration. Most students and practitioners take integration as a given. Nevertheless, there is no agreed upon definition of the term or universal agreement on its usefulness. Some have gone so far as to suggest the term be dropped altogether (Jeeves & Ludwig, 2018). Others have attempted to pigeonhole integration as a particular model, separate from other approaches to the psychology–theology interdisciplinary conversation (Greggo & Sisemore, 2012; Johnson, 2010). A quick glance at the literature suggests that most writers, however, continue to use the term as a superordinate concept while acknowledging various methodologies (e.g., Christian Psychology, Levels of Explanation, Transformational Model, etc.) within the broader framework of integration. The literature today indicates that integration has moved far afield from model building and has become more focused on methods, processes, and application with actual bearing on applied work (Sandage & Brown, 2018). Subsequently, much of the most interesting clinical integration being done today is in unique subgenres such as trauma (Gingrich, 2020), supervision (Watson, 2018), culture (Dueck & Reimer, 2009), integration in the postmodern world (Neff & McMinn, 2020), and clinical application (Bland & Strawn, 2014; Lee, 2020; Tan, 2011) to name just a few. Despite these exciting developments, students in training continue to clamber for how to “practice integratively.” They want more “show me” and less “tell me” and they want richer diversity and inclusion of authors, patients, therapists, and approaches. It could be argued that learning to practice integratively occurs most effectively in the practicing–supervision encounter. Perhaps the written approximation is the clinical case study and in-depth analyses of clinical theory with integrative application (Strawn, Bland, & Flores, 2018). So, while there is a burgeoning literature on clinical integration, there is still a need for more examples via clinical case studies. The Journal of Psychology and Theology has a long and rich history of publishing articles aimed at both empirical research in integration as well as application to clinical settings. The clinical integrative practice (CIP) section of JPT is a continuation of this history in a more structured man-","PeriodicalId":46761,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology and Theology","volume":"48 1","pages":"237 - 238"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0091647120956964","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41664696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

That is, respondents who obtained high scores on the BVST (representing a greater tendency to select biblical passages associated with fundamentalism as most central to their faith or belief system) also showed a tendency to obtain high scores on measures of negative feelings, beliefs, behaviors, and attitudes toward atheists, gay men, lesbian women, and Muslims. These relationships were generally consistent across both Christian-only samples and general samples, with statistically significant coefficients obtained for 30 of 32 predicted correlations.

Participants identifying as Democrats scored significantly higher than did those identifying as Republicans on the individualizing foundations of care and fairness but significantly lower than Republicans on the binding foundations of authority, loyalty, and purity. In addition, political identity differentially related to the two liberty subfoundations consistent with salient political party themes. Hierarchical regression analyses identified political identity as a consistent predictor of all moral foundations beyond the variance accounted for by unique contributions of gender and education. RS factors, primarily fundamentalism, contributed additional incremental value to predicting the three binding but not the individualizing foundations, which suggests a congruent dual identity (political, religious) for Republicans that does not hold for Democrats.","PeriodicalId":46761,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology and Theology","volume":"48 1","pages":"169 - 187"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0091647119878675","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42440769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Navigating interpersonal relationships can be a difficult aspect of ministry, and this challenge is even more pronounced if the clergy is female and battling cancer. This article reports a sub-set of findings from a qualitative study that utilized interpretative phenomenological analysis to uncover the lived experiences of six female clergy cancer survivors. The findings revealed that congregants, and participants’ relationships with congregants, influenced participants’ cancer experience in three key ways. First, participants experienced stress and loneliness based on their own and others’ unrealistic expectations associated with a career in ministry. Second, participants learned to don a figurative mask and to selectively reveal and guard their emotions about cancer and cancer treatment from those they were called to serve. Third, participants’ experience of cancer and their commitment to their calling required both reliance on God and self-care. Implications for career counseling and coaching with clergy in adverse situations are offered.","PeriodicalId":46761,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology and Theology","volume":"48 1","pages":"188 - 202"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0091647119856938","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49210231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Grace salience involves the process of making God’s grace cognitively prominent. In the context of dual-process modeling, grace salience involves making the construct of God’s grace cognitively explicit and the focus of attention for an individual. Participants recalled a past experience where they harmed someone. Before the grace salience or control intervention, there were no differences in desire for reparative action and guilt or shame self-statements. However, after the intervention, compared to the control, the grace salience intervention produced a greater desire for reparative action and greater tendency to agree with guilt self-statements. When feelings of remorse were assessed after the experimental manipulations, higher levels of sorrow and brokenness predicted greater desire for reparative action, higher levels of shame and brokenness predicted higher agreement with shame self-statements, and higher levels of guilt and brokenness predicted greater agreement with guilt self-statements.","PeriodicalId":46761,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology and Theology","volume":"48 1","pages":"218 - 228"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0091647119890100","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64994615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To do this, we will consider two of the most influential and archetypal formulations of the problem: William L. Rowe’s article, “The problem of evil and some varieties of atheism” (1979), and Paul Draper’s article, “Pain and pleasure: an evidential problem for theists” (1989). We will consider the relevance of experimental philosophy to Rowe’s 1979 argument in §1 and to Draper’s 1989 argument in §2. But in addition to exploring how the resources of experimental philosophy might apply to the problem of evil, it is also worth exploring what broader empirical factors might contribute to people having the intuitions that they have—from someone’s affective state to someone’s need for closure. In §3, we want to very briefly elucidate a few areas where the psychology of philosophy might be productively explored in future empirical research.","PeriodicalId":46761,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology and Theology","volume":"49 1","pages":"126 - 141"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0091647120939110","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47288295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the data from 263 students from a large private Christian university in Central Virginia, bivariate correlations between two types of forgiveness, compassionate love, and empathy were computed, and the contribution of demographic variables, compassionate love, and empathy to the prediction of transgression-general and transgression-specific forgiveness was examined using three-block multiple regression analyses.
