Given the prominent role of religion in U.S. Latino communities and their elevated risk for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), this study examined associations among PTSD, religious involvement, and marital functioning, as well as whether religious involvement moderated the association between PTSD and marital functioning.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This study used secondary data from 1,288 married Latino individuals in the National Latino and Asian American Study. Multiple linear regression analyses examined associations between religious involvement (religious service attendance and coping), lifetime PTSD diagnosis, and marital functioning (cohesion and conflict).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Higher religious service attendance was linked to higher marital cohesion and lower marital conflict, whereas seeking comfort in religion during difficult times was associated with higher marital conflict. Lifetime PTSD was associated with higher marital conflict, and this association was not significantly moderated by religious involvement.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>These findings are valuable for understanding the factors associated with marital functioning among Latino couples and suggest that religious service attendance may be a relational resource, whereas certain types of coping may be associated with greater marital conflict.

{"title":"Understanding Varieties of Religious Types: A Latent Profile Analysis of U.S. National Data.","authors":"Adam William Baker, Jieun Song, Carol D Ryff","doi":"10.1037/rel0000631","DOIUrl":"10.1037/rel0000631","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Objective: </strong>Religion and spirituality are multidimensional features of adult life, yet most research examines individual dimensions in isolation rather than as components of a greater whole. This study uses a person-centered approach to identify distinct profiles of religion and spirituality and to examine how these profiles differ across sociodemographic and psychological characteristics in a national sample of U.S. adults.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Data come from the Refresher sample of the Midlife in the U.S. (MIDUS) study. Latent profile analysis was used to identify patterns of religion and spirituality across six dimensions: religious service attendance, private religious practice, religious identification, subjective spirituality, daily spiritual experience, and religious coping. Sociodemographic characteristics, personality traits, and optimism were then compared across profiles.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A six-profile solution provided the best fit, identifying groups labeled Highly Religious, Spiritually-Oriented Religious, Organizationally Religious, Moderately Engaged, Disengaged Identifiers, and Nonreligious. Profiles differed meaningfully across sociodemographic characteristics including age, race/ethnicity, gender, and education, as well as across personality traits and optimism.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>These findings underscore the substantial heterogeneity in how religion and spirituality are lived and expressed.
