Isi artikel

It was proposed that : (a) religious belief has implications for properties of the self-concept and that (b) the relationship between religious belief and psychological adjustment can be understood in self-theoretical terms. In two studies ( Ns = 145, 52) religious belief strength was associated with more positive and certain self - conceptions, and the influence of religiousness on the self - concept was evident in multiple self - knowledge domains. The results also demonstrated that self - concept positivity partially mediated the relationship between religious belief and psychological adjustment. In addition, self - concept and coping models of the association of religiousness and adjustment were compared. The results indicated that religious belief had a small, positive indirect effect on adjustment through self - concept positivity and a larger but negative indirect effect through a measure of God - related control attributions. Theoretical links between religious belief and the self - concept are discussed.
