“…In the first article, Pandey and Gupta (2019) examine religion in the lives of Hindu widows. Much evidence from diverse religious traditions has linked religion with either better or worse health and well-being, depending upon the specific population and upon the dimension of religion that is being considered (Abu Raiya, Pargament, & Magyar-Russell, 2010; Oman & Nuru-Jeter, 2018). Similarly, based on qualitative interviews with 37 Hindu widows, Pandey and Gupta document a “dual role” (Pandey & Gupta, 2019, p. 91) of religion, as in popular understanding it simultaneously sanctions social disabilities of widows and supplies numerous coping strategies that assist them in managing life challenges.…”

“…Such findings parallel the widely observed patterns of dual impacts worldwide and in western samples, in which religion is often ambiguously or adversely linked to ethnic and sexual discrimination, yet simultaneously serves as a multifaceted resource for the marginalized groups. Over time, however, as religious traditions evolve, justice- and equity-enhancing changes often occur in the social expectations and norms that are sanctified by religious traditions (Oman & Nuru-Jeter, 2018). Through their study, Pandey and Gupta hope to aid mental health professionals working with widow populations, and to help policymakers and activists to work effectively, taking into account “prevailing socioreligious realities” (Pandey & Gupta, 2019, p. 98).…”

This article introduces a special section on indigenous Indian religions, focusing on Hinduism, the world's third largest and oldest major religious tradition. Although Hinduism has been the focus of less empirical study in psychology than other major traditions, this comparative neglect appears to be changing. The present introductory article briefly sketches a few key features of Hindu tradition, suggesting both similarities and differences with Abrahamic traditions. We offer statistics on the comparative neglect of Hinduism, sketch emergent research trends and future possibilities, and introduce each of this section's three major empirical studies.

This book summarizes the culmination of five years of research on faith at work in the United States, featuring insights generated from a survey of over fifteen thousand adults and three hundred in-depth interviews. The authors make the case for the thoughtful inclusion of religious identities in the workplace and argue that employers should accommodate religious self-expression at work. While many companies are increasingly recognizing and embracing the business value of employees bringing their whole selves to work, there is some uncertainty about how to respond to workers’ religious and spiritual identities, and a fear that such expression will lead to workplace conflict. This book provides scholarly evidence to help companies understand and develop ways to respond to the presence of religion in the workplace in a thoughtful way. This data-driven yet accessible approach helps organizational leaders, workers, and scholars understand both the challenges and benefits of the integration of faith at places and spaces of employment. By looking at how workers from a variety of religious traditions and social groups are bringing their faith into the workplace, the authors identify why and how organizations can engage diversity of religious belief and expression in the workplace. Until now, there has been little broad information for organizational leaders on how a wide range of workers understand their work vis-à-vis their faith, and how religious identities and practices overlap with and may be key to fostering other kinds of workplace diversity, like gender, sexuality, and racial diversity.
