We assessed whether r/s struggles mediated the association between multiracial discrimination and race-based stress for the two groups. The two mediation analyses revealed a positive indirect effect of multiracial discrimination on race-based traumatic stress through r/s struggles for both groups. In addition, the two groups showed significant differences in their reports of discrimination during the two-year period, with Black-White biracial individuals reporting more multiracial discrimination (including lack of family acceptance) than Asian-White biracials. However, no differences were found in their reports of race-based stress or r/s struggles. Implications for assessment and intervention and directions for future research are provided.","PeriodicalId":47614,"journal":{"name":"Mental Health Religion & Culture","volume":"25 1","pages":"1026 - 1044"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42389267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Psychological type, religion, and culture: further theoretical and empirical perspectives (Part V)","authors":"C. Lewis","doi":"10.1080/13674676.2023.2215092","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13674676.2023.2215092","url":null,"abstract":"This Special Issue of Mental Health, Religion & Culture marks Part V of a series entitled Psychological Type, Religion, and Culture... (Lewis, 2012a, 2012b, 2015a, 2015b, 2018, 2021a, 2021b, 2021c, 2021d). This series has been a somewhat occasional fixture in Mental Health, Religion & Culture. However, recently, there has been a concerted effort to make this series more frequent (Lewis, 2021a, 2021b, 2021c, 2021d), and in doing so, becoming a more established resource for researchers and practitioners alike, interested in examining the relationship between psychological type theory and religiosity, with a particular reference to culture. Indeed, the contribution and success of these previous collections on psychological type has served as the impetus for extending that work further. In addition to this Editorial, this Special Issue comprises of one theoretical article and eight empirical articles. Of these empirical articles, six measure psychological type with the 40-item Francis Psychological Type Scales (FPTS; Francis, 2005) and one with the SIFT method. The FPTS is nowwell established in the literature in the psychology of religion for measuring psychological type (for example see Francis, 2009; Lewis, 2012a, 2012b, 2015a, 2015b, 2018, 2021a, 2021b, 2021c, 2021d; Village, 2011). First, Lloyd (2022) provides a review that examines and evaluates the long-running conflict in personality psychology: that between advocates of the Five-factor Trait-based (McCrea & Costa, 1989) model and those of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (Myers & Myers, 1980) approach. Lloyd (2022) notes “Given the many similarities of the two present paradigms, a unified approach would have a good claim to be the best current portrayal of personality” (p. 817). Second, four papers report on the examination of the psychometric properties of the FPTS (Chaim, 2022; Francis & Village, 2022; Village & Francis, 2022a, 2022b). Francis and Village (2022) report on two samples (N = 185 and 392) of adults participating in short courses relevant for Christian ministry, the satisfactory psychometric properties of the FPTS including the factor structure, internal consistency reliability, and concurrent validity with the 126item Form G (Anglicised) version of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (Myers & McCaulley, 1985). Village and Francis (2022a) report on 209 adults enrolled in a university ministry training course on the satisfactory psychometric properties of the FPTS. Moreover, they also report on the concurrent validity of the FPTS with the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised shortened version (Eysenck et al., 1985) on 78 of the original sample. Village and Francis (2022b) report on 2,769 clergy and churchgoing participants, the concurrent validity of the FPTS with the abbreviated Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised (Francis et al., 1992). Chaim (2022) reports on a variety of samples of Polish adults a review of recent research on the Polish adaptation of the FPTS.","PeriodicalId":47614,"journal":{"name":"Mental Health Religion & Culture","volume":"25 1","pages":"953 - 955"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45482203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study used secondary data analysis to understand how Black U.S. adolescents’ positive images of God contributed to their emotional well-being in response to stressors associated with COVID-19. Data from a larger study were extracted from 11 Black adolescents’ (Ages 12–17; 54.5% female) individual interview transcripts; and the research team used an interpretative phenomenology process to analyze the data. Participants’ experiences of God as a (a) Teacher, (b) Powerful Being, and (c) Comforter served as robust contributors to their feelings of strength, hope, assurance, calmness, contentment, and motivation, despite the challenges they encountered.

Clergy are an under-represented group in research, with studies suggesting clergy utilise religious coping skills, and underutilise social support. The aims of this study were to assess psychological distress, coping, and help-seeking in UK clergy, and determine whether religious coping mediates the relationship between role demands and distress. One hundred and sixty one clergy-members completed measures of demands, distress, coping, and help-seeking. Mediation analyses were used to test hypotheses. Clergy reported higher rates of distress than community samples, reported more adaptive coping, and favoured help-seeking from informal sources. Negative religious coping and avoidant coping partially mediated the relationship between demands and distress. Clergy reported similar rates of distress to those in other emotionally demanding roles. Religious coping partially mediated the impact of negative demands, suggesting any intervention should include consideration of religious coping in this group.","PeriodicalId":47614,"journal":{"name":"Mental Health Religion & Culture","volume":"25 1","pages":"956 - 973"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41845389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Type community could relinquish its contention that every individual has a clear either-or preference for (for example) Extraversion or Introversion. It could also acknowledge the speculative nature of Type Dynamics. The Trait community could relinquish the value-judgements inherent in its current scheme and accept that (for example) introversion is not merely a deficit of extraversion but a distinct quality with positive potential.

Factor analyses did not support one general factor solution of the T-GAD-7. However, a respecified model, after correlating error terms, met the adequate criteria for model fit. Additionally, significant moderate correlations were found for the anxiety scores with perceived stress, academic problems, physical problems, and life satisfaction.
