Is religiousness a protective resource? A 15-year longitudinal analysis of the link between religious engagement and life-satisfaction across income levels
Many researchers have argued that religiousness serves as a protective resource in the face of adversity. To examine this assumption, we conducted cross-lagged temporal analyses on yearly measured panel responses over a 15-year period and examined the effect of religiousness on life-satisfaction across different income levels. Overall, we found no support for the assumption that religiousness serves as a protective resource. While we did find positive associations between religiousness and life-satisfaction in particular among low-income individuals, we observed these effects only at the between-person level. At the within-person level, temporal effects were small and their directions were not consistent with what would be expected if religion were a protective mechanism that helps coping with adversity. Implications are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Personality and Individual Differences is devoted to the publication of articles (experimental, theoretical, review) which aim to integrate as far as possible the major factors of personality with empirical paradigms from experimental, physiological, animal, clinical, educational, criminological or industrial psychology or to seek an explanation for the causes and major determinants of individual differences in concepts derived from these disciplines. The editors are concerned with both genetic and environmental causes, and they are particularly interested in possible interaction effects.
