Description
This study examined the relationship between positive religious coping methods and chronic stress levels. Subjects were college students who completed a survey which included three scales; the Inventory of College Student' Recent Life Experiences (ICSRLE), a religious coping measurement called the RCOPE, and the Perceived Stress Scale. These scales measured the extent to which religious coping methods are used and how this relates to a number of stressors present, as well as how much stress is perceived. The first hypothesis was that there wouldn't be a relationship between religious coping methods and the number of daily stressors reported. The second hypothesis was that positive religious coping is inversely related to perceived stress. Past research has shown a link between positive religious coping and stress. This study is important because it provides implications for the management of stress and related health problems.
