This book was released on 2015 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This cross-sectional survey design study examined the relationships between attachment style, stress perception and religious coping in a sample of 267 cross-cultural, evangelical missionaries. No significance for effect for attachment style on perceived stress was found. However, both age and gender demonstrated significant effects on perceived stress. There was also a significant association between perception of stress and religious coping, independent of attachment style. Religious coping accounted for a small amount of the variance in perception of stress. The vast majority of the sample reported patterns of positive religious coping, which was not influenced by attachment style. A new tool for measuring missionary stress was also developed and shows good psychometric qualities. Implications for member care services and recommendations for future research are discussed.
Book Synopsis “Lord, Hear Our Prayer”: how Interfaith Attachment to God and Religious Coping Influence Stress Levels by : Mary E. Montaldo
Download or read book “Lord, Hear Our Prayer”: how Interfaith Attachment to God and Religious Coping Influence Stress Levels written by Mary E. Montaldo and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kirkpartrick (1992) expanded on Bowlby’s (1969) Attachment Theory by creating “attachment to God”, the attachment relationship one forms with their divine figure. Research on the construct has found that those who report experiencing close, personal relationships with their divine figures have better psychological outcomes, (e.g., increased well-being, less depression, etc.). In addition, research has shown that the patterns people employ when using their religion to cope influence their psychological outcomes with positive religious coping producing beneficial outcomes and negative religious coping resulting in deleterious outcomes. While these findings are fairly stable, little research has explored findings among non-Christian samples, or studied the mediational role of religious coping in the relationship between attachment to God and stress. Therefore, the current study investigated this mediational model with 105 interfaith students at the University of the Pacific and Palo Alto University. The bootstrapping statistical method described by Hayes (2013) was conducted in order to test the model’s significance using the “PROCESS Procedure” macro for SPSS. Results showed that the attachment to God construct was relevant with non-Christian participants, Jewish participants had significantly more secure attachment to God than Protestant Christians, and the AGI may have mislabeled non-religious participants as having secure attachments. Religious coping also appeared relevant across faith groups and religious groups used religious coping strategies significantly more than non-religious groups. Finally, religious groups endorsed significantly higher rates of perceived and hassle stress than non-religious groups. Mediational model results were mixed, and the only significant models included positive religious coping. These models were significant even when the direct effects of attachment to God on stress were insignificant. Adding the ascription of faith as a moderator in the model had no significant effect on the results. Some possible explanations for the findings may be a lack of significance due to a small number of participants, more significant findings when the variable of attachment to significant others is included, and/or the directionality of the mediational model being incorrect. Future studies could focus on specific faith groups and stressors, and clinical applications include facilitating conceptualizations of religious clients and providing insight into their worldviews.
Book Synopsis Examining the Relationship Between Religious Coping Strategies, Attachment Beliefs and Emotion Regulation in a Mixed Sample of College Students Attending an Evangelical University in Central Virginia by : Kevin C. Corsini
Download or read book Examining the Relationship Between Religious Coping Strategies, Attachment Beliefs and Emotion Regulation in a Mixed Sample of College Students Attending an Evangelical University in Central Virginia written by Kevin C. Corsini and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to extend current research in this area by investigating the relationship between religious coping strategies, attachment beliefs, and emotion regulation in a mixed sample of college students attending an evangelical university. Specifically, this study sought to answer the following two research questions. First, does religious coping correlate with adult attachment, God attachment, and emotion regulation? Second, does religious coping account for unique variance in emotion regulation after accounting for variance attributed to God attachment and adult attachment? The study used a cross sectional correlation research design, where college students were administered measures of adult attachment, God attachment, religious coping, and emotion regulation. The first question was addressed using a series of zero-order correlations arranged in a correlation matrix examining the relationships between the subscales of Religious Coping, Attachment, and Emotion Regulation. The second question was addressed using a series of hierarchical multiple regressions which examined whether Religious Coping accounted for unique variance in Emotion Regulation after accounting for Attachment.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Together, stress and social relationships are thought to play key roles in health and development (Keller et al., 2012; Umberson & Montez, 2010). With a greater understanding for how one's relationship qualities interact with their stress response systems, we may begin to take a more clearly focused approach to mental health treatment. This study examined the differences in stress management using and four-category model of attachment. To date there is limited research examining the links between stress response and the attachment system. The current study assessed both perceived psychological stress and physiological measures of stress exposure in response to a social stressor, utilizing the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST; Kirschbaum et al., 1993) as a means to induce acute social stress within a laboratory setting. The current study furthered past research by exploring the relationship between adult attachment styles (secure, avoidant, anxious and fearful) and stress. Past research has failed to evaluate the fearful attachment style. The results indicated that attachment styles act as either a risk or a protective factor for the stress response, such that participants who were classified as fearfully attached were more likely to have elevated levels of perceived stress (measured as trait anxiety and acute stress response). The secure and anxiously attached participants had similar levels of perceived stress, raising some questions about the view of an anxious attachment as being a negative quality, or the utility of a secure attachment style for adequate stress management. The avoidantly attached participants had similarly elevated levels of trait anxiety found within the fearful group, suggesting that the avoidant tendency to reject social support may partially explain this poor stress management.

Book Synopsis The Influence of Childhood Mobility on Adult Attachment Style in White Missionary Kids of North American and European Nationalities by : Kristy Marie Little
Download or read book The Influence of Childhood Mobility on Adult Attachment Style in White Missionary Kids of North American and European Nationalities written by Kristy Marie Little and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the relationship between mobility and adult attachment style in the children of missionaries, or Missionary Kids (MKs). MKs are one type of Third Culture Kid (TCK) who are identified as individuals who spend a considerable amount of their childhood in a country other than their parents' home country. One common characteristic of MKs and TCKs is high mobility. In this study, mobility was measured as the number of transitions, defined as changes in geographical location, including temporary moves for at least three months, made before the age of 18. Participants were adult TCKs, whose parents were missionaries. Participants were recruited through Barnabas International, an organization based in the United States and designed to provide support to missionaries. Data was collected by means of an online survey. Using the chi-square test for association, a small relationship was found between childhood mobility and adult attachment style. Results indicated that 83% of this sample had insecure attachment styles. In addition, responses to three open-ended survey questions about the impact of childhood transitions were analyzed for themes. Some of the themes noted were recognition of the relational nature of the impact of childhood transitions and continued struggle creating and maintaining lasting attachments well into adulthood. Potential implications for TCK caregivers and further research directions are discussed as well as the critical limitations of applying attachment theory, which is based in a White American context, to multicultural TCKs.

Book Synopsis Using Scripture as Affirmations to Promote Positive Religious Coping, Secure Attachment, and Posttraumatic Growth in Christian Clients in Psychotherapy by : Diane Smith
Download or read book Using Scripture as Affirmations to Promote Positive Religious Coping, Secure Attachment, and Posttraumatic Growth in Christian Clients in Psychotherapy written by Diane Smith and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study explores the possibility of mental health clinicians using affirmations drawn from biblical scripture to promote positive religious coping and posttraumatic growth in Christian clients. There is much literature in recent years that shows positive relationships among secure attachment, positive religious coping, and posttraumatic growth. There is also substantial research on how mental health professionals can ethically and sensitively incorporate religion and spirituality into psychotherapy with religious clients. However, there is little literature on how clinicians can help transform a client's negative religious coping to positive religious coping. Object relations theory posits the corrective emotional experience that occurs in therapy may help some individuals with insecure attachments develop secure attachments. Furthermore, the use of mantrams and affirmations has been shown to decrease posttraumatic stress symptoms in various client populations. I theorize that in the holding environment of therapy, the clinician can help guide a Christian client with negative religious coping and/or insecure attachment to God to develop positive religious coping and secure attachment to God. Using scriptures as affirmations may facilitate this process.
Book Synopsis Trust-based Prayer Expectancies, Attachment to God, and Perceived Stress by : Sadie Davis
Download or read book Trust-based Prayer Expectancies, Attachment to God, and Perceived Stress written by Sadie Davis and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study analyzed the impact of trust-based prayer expectancies on the relationship between attachment to God and perceived stress levels. High trust-based prayer expectancies indicate a high trust in God to answer prayers in His time and in His way. It was hypothesized that trust-based prayer expectancies would mediate the relationship between attachment to God and perceived stress, since prayer expectancies are heavily reliant on trust in and a belief that God is a secure base. Three-hundred fifteen college students were surveyed on their trust-based prayer beliefs, perceived stress, and attachment to God. Results of the study indicated a significant indirect effect in which avoidance in one’s attachment to God predicted perceived stress by way of trust-based prayer expectancies. However, there was not a significant indirect effect linking anxiety in one’s attachment to God and perceived stress by way of trust-based prayer expectancies. Implications of the research suggest that trust-based prayer expectancies may be useful in reducing stress for individuals with avoidant attachment styles. Other possible mediators of the relationship between attachment to God and perceived stress may exist.
Book Synopsis The Role of Stress in Changing Attachment Style Over the Transition to Parenthood by : Tara Galaugher

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This longitudinal study examined factors that contribute to change in attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance over the transition to parenthood. Participants were a community sample of 98 heterosexual couples expecting their first child who were recruited through maternity resources in the Victoria, B.C. area. Specifically, this study considered whether prenatal perceived stress levels predicted change in adult attachment security. For men, higher stress levels predicted more change in attachment security. We also examined whether increases in stress levels from the prenatal to the postnatal period predicted changes in attachment security and found that increases in stress from the prenatal to postnatal period were associated with more change in attachment for men; results were marginally significant for women. In addition to examining the impact of stress on the absolute value of change in attachment, this study considered perceived support and perceived anger as moderators of the relationship between stress and directional change in attachment. Measures of general support and perceived anger did not moderate this relationship. Observational ratings of partner's positive and negative support behaviours during support-seeking interactions were examined as potential moderators. The interaction between stress and positive emotional support predicted decreasing avoidance for women. Interactions between stress and negative affect marginally predicted increasing anxiety for men and women. Dyadic analyses were also used to clarify how changes in participants' attachment security over time were influenced by their partners' prenatal attachment security. For women, partner levels of attachment avoidance at the prenatal period predicted increasing attachment anxiety. These findings emphasize that adult attachment exists in the context of interpersonal relationships, and demonstrate the importance of using dyadic and longitudinal data to study attachment. Implications for attachment theory and intervention are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The present study aims to better understand the relationships between adult attachment style, defensive theology, and religious quest. Drawing upon previous research examining the relationships between defensive and existential theological orientations, existential threat, and attachment to God, the present study investigates adult attachment style and whether it appears to be a significant contributing factor in understanding theological orientation and its intrapsychic function. Particularly, this study aims to understand the degree to which attachment style may inform defensive theology, which previous research has linked to out-group discrimination (Beck, 2006a). -- Bivariate correlational analyses and partial correlational analyses were conducted to examine participants' (n = 70) scores on the Experiences in Close Relationships Scale (ECR), Defensive Theology Scale (DTS) and Multi-Dimensional Quest Orientation Scale (MQOS), also using the Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding (BIDR) to control for socially desirable response bias. It was predicated that those with an anxious-insecure adult attachment style would utilize a defensive theology structure as a surrogate mitigator of existential threat and that those with a secure adult attachment would be more prone to engage in religious quest. -- To the contrary, a nearly significant positive correlation was found between anxious-insecure attachment and religious quest (r = .260, p = .031), as well as a significant positive correlation between combined insecure attachment (avoidant and anxious) and religious quest (r = .312, p = .009). Non-significant inverse correlations were also found between anxious-insecure attachment/combined-insecure attachment and theological defensiveness. In sum, rather than theological orientation serving as compensatory reaction to insecure attachment, as hypothesized, findings suggest that theological orientation exists as correlative reflections of adult attachment style. Additionally, findings suggest that elements of both existential and defensive theology may be most indicative of psychological well-being.
Book Synopsis The Effect of a Bible Based Manualized Protocol Targeting Attachment to God in Anxiety and Stress by : Sung Hoon Kim
Download or read book The Effect of a Bible Based Manualized Protocol Targeting Attachment to God in Anxiety and Stress written by Sung Hoon Kim and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the effectiveness of the Bible-Based Stress Reduction Protocol-Attachment to God (BSRP-AG) in enhancing participants’ attachment to God and quality of life, decreasing perceived depression, anxiety, stress, and increasing overall spiritual well-being, using a randomized pretest and posttest design with waiting list control group among Hispanic population. The theory of stress, and attachment theory were discussed. At the same time, the relationship between stress, attachment, attachment to God and quality of life were considered as well. Lastly, the efficacy of Christian spiritual disciplines to improve attachment to God was argued. Thirty-four Hispanic individuals from Virginia participated in this randomized waiting list control group study. Information about the setting, the treatment, measures, and methodology, as well as instruments for statistical analyses were described. The results of the study revealed that the BSRP-AG was effective in improving attachment to God and psychological well-being by decreasing perceived stress, depression, and increasing spiritual well-being. It is also showed that the BSRP-AG improved participants’ perceived psychological quality of life.
