这项研究的目的有两个：探索基于教会的社会支持的性质，并了解在宗教环境中获得的支持是否与宗教应对方法的使用有关。该数据来自对美国长老会成员的全国性调查。详细考察了宗教支持的三个维度：教会成员的情感支持、教会成员的精神支持和牧师的情感支持。这些支持维度用来评估一个在文献中很大程度上被忽视的问题——宗教支持与宗教应对之间的关系。研究结果表明，当人们从教会成员那里得到精神支持时，他们特别倾向于采取积极的宗教应对措施。尽管牧师的情感支持也增加了宗教应对方法的使用，但这种关系并不那么牢固。最后，教会成员的情感支持没有效果。
The purpose of this study is twofold: to explore the nature of church-based social support, and to see whether support received in religious settings is related to the use of religious coping methods. The data come fi-om a nationwide survey of members of the Presbyterian Church USA. Three dimensions of religious support are examined in detail: emotional support from church members, spiritual support from church members, and emotional support from the pastor, These dimensions of support are used to evaluate an issue that has been largely overlooked in the literature-the relationship between religious support and religious coping. The findings reveal that people are especially inclined to use positive religious coping responses when they receive spiritual support from church members. Even though emotional support from the pastor also increases the use af religious coping methods, the relationship is not as strong. Finally, emotional support from church members has no effect.
