The Association between Religious Participation and Executive Function in Middle- and Older-aged Adults: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging
ABSTRACT We investigated the association between religious participation and executive function in a national sample of Canadian adults aged 45 to 85 years. Executive function scores were aggregated from six neurocognitive tests. We regressed the aggregate scores onto religious participation and controlled for numerous covariates. The analyses were stratified by age: 45 to 64 years and ≥ 65 years. In comparison to persons who reported never participating in religious activities, persons who reported daily-weekly participation had statistically significantly lower executive function scores; we observed this finding for both age groups. Associations for monthly-yearly religious participation versus never participating were also inverse yet not necessarily statistically significant at the 5% level. The strongest inverse associations were observed in models adjusted for social networks, social support, and social participation. Our findings mesh with recent research and suggest the need to carefully assess the role of religious participation when promoting executive function. Future research warrants employing longitudinal designs to further investigate the association.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal for the Psychology of Religion (IJPR) is devoted to psychological studies of religious processes and phenomena in all religious traditions. This journal provides a means for sustained discussion of psychologically relevant issues that can be examined empirically and concern religion in the most general sense. It presents articles covering a variety of important topics, such as the social psychology of religion, religious development, conversion, religious experience, religion and social attitudes and behavior, religion and mental health, and psychoanalytic and other theoretical interpretations of religion. The journal publishes research reports, brief research reports, commentaries on relevant topical issues, book reviews, and statements addressing articles published in previous issues. The journal may also include a major essay and commentaries, perspective papers of the theory, and articles on the psychology of religion in a specific country.
