“…is there any significant relationship between emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence of students at University of Zabol?, the results indicated that there was a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence which was significant at the 95 confidence level. This result is in line with the results of Pérez, Little, and Henrich [20] and Poage, Ketzenberger, and Olson [21]. With regard to the second research question, i.e.…”

“…Understanding the mechanisms that link between religious variables and well-being has important implications for developing potential psychosocial interventions in various populations (Ai et al, 2007, 2008; Pérez et al, 2009a, b). One potential mechanism may be reduced self-focused attention.…”

We examined the association between different types of prayer and depressive symptoms—with rumination and social support as potential mediators—in a sample of predominantly White, Christian, and female ambulatory cancer patients. In a cross-sectional design, 179 adult cancer outpatients completed measures of prayer, rumination, social support, depressive symptoms, and demographic variables. Type and stage of cancer were collected from electronic medical charts. Depressive symptoms were negatively correlated with adoration prayer (r = −.15), reception prayer (r = −.17), thanksgiving prayer (r = −.29), and prayer for the well-being of others (r = −.26). In the path analysis, rumination fully mediated the link between thanksgiving prayer and depressive symptoms (β for indirect effect = −.05), whereas social support partially mediated the link between prayer for others and depressive symptoms (β for indirect effect = −.05). These findings suggest that unique mechanisms may link different prayer types to lower depressive symptoms among cancer patients.

“…29 Higher self-efficacy has been shown to be associated with lower depression in adolescents. 36 A recent longitudinal study 20 of junior high school students in the northeastern United States showed that higher levels of spirituality among adolescent girls was associated with decreases in depressive symptoms through sense of personal agency, which is a similar concept to self-efficacy. 20 To our knowledge, self-efficacy has not been studied regarding religious attendance and religious importance.…”

To date, few longitudinal studies 13,32 have been conducted to determine the direction of the associations between religion and depression, which has been identified as a major limitation in this literature.…”

“…This suggests that girls who attend religious services more frequently have a greater sense of agency when faced with SLEs and that this accounts for the observed association. Studying a sample of students in grades 6 to 9, Perez et al 20 showed that spirituality predicted changes in depressive symptoms through personal agency and direct coping only among girls. Our data suggest that a similar process may explain the association between religious attendance and lower risk of depression.…”

Longitudinal Associations of Importance of Religion and Frequency of Service Attendance with Depression Risk among Adolescents in Nova Scotia

et al. 2013

Objective:To examine the directionality of associations between self-reported religious importance or worship attendance and depression among adolescents, and to determine whether social supports or general self-efficacy are mechanisms of observed associations. Method:A cohort (n = 976) of Canadian high school students were surveyed in Grade 10 (2000 to 2001) and 2 years later (2002 to 2003). Logistic regression was conducted separately among adolescents with and without elevated depressive symptoms to examine associations between baseline religious attendance and religious importance with later depression, adjusting for confounding factors. Effects of reverse causation were also assessed, determining associations between baseline depression and follow-up religious attendance and importance.Results: Girls who were not depressed at baseline and who attended religious services had lower odds of later depression (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 0.46; 95% CI 0.22 to 0.95, P < 0.05), which was accounted for by general self-efficacy. Boys who were depressed at baseline who attended religious services had lower odds of still being depressed at followup (AOR 0.23; 95% CI 0.06 to 0.80, P < 0.01). Depression at baseline predicted lower attendance at follow-up among boys (AOR 0.26; 95% CI 0.09 to 0.75, P < 0.01). Conclusions:Religious attendance independently predicts lower depression at followup among girls, and may do so by increasing self-efficacy. Among boys with depression, religious attendance predicts a lower likelihood of still being depressed at follow-up. The relation between religious attendance and depression in boys is bidirectional. W W W Associations longitudinales de l'importance de la religion et de la fréquence de la pratique du culte avec le risque de dépression chez des adolescents de la Nouvelle-ÉcosseObjectif : Examiner la directionnalité des associations entre l'importance auto-déclarée de la religion ou de la pratique du culte et la dépression chez les adolescents, et déterminer si les soutiens sociaux ou l'auto-efficacité générale sont des mécanismes des associations observées.Méthode : Une cohorte (n = 976) d'élèves du secondaire canadiens a été interrogée en 10e année (2000 à 2001) et 2 ans plus tard (2002 à 2003). La régression logistique a été menée séparément chez des adolescents présentant ou pas des symptômes dépressifs élevés afin d'examiner les associations entre la pratique religieuse de départ et l'importance de la religion avec la dépression ultérieure, en corrigeant les facteurs de confusion. Les effets de la causalité inverse ont aussi été évalués, en déterminant les associations entre la dépression au départ et la pratique et l'importance de la religion au suivi.Résultats : Les filles qui n'étaient pas déprimées au départ et qui pratiquaient leur religion avaient des probabilités plus faibles d'une dépression ultérieure (rapport de cotes corrigé [RCC] 0,46; IC à 95 % 0,22 à 0,95; P < 0,05), ce qui était attribué à l'auto-efficacité générale. Les garçons qui étaient déprimés au départ et qu...
