项目摘要

University of Alabama doctoral student, H.J. François Dengah, under the guidance of William W. Dressler, will investigate the influence of religious cultural consonance on well-being. In particular, this study asks if religious conceptions of ideal acolyte identity and behavior buffer daily stressors experienced by socially and economically marginalized members of Brazilian Pentecostal churches. Between 1960 and 1985, the Protestant population of Brazil quadrupled. This expansion however, is disproportionately among Brazil's poor, disenfranchised, and minority populations. This research posits that Pentecostal communities offer an alternative cultural-landscape to create identity, power, and status, which may contradict, compensate, and even challenge the dominant behavioral norms. Thus, religious cultural consonance may be a specific mechanism that marginalized Brazilian Pentecostals utilize to mitigate the physiological and psychological stress of their daily lives.This mixed-methods research will be conducted in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil. The research will be conducted with the membership of two specific communities: The Assembléia de Deus (AD) and Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus (IURD). The AD is theologically more sectarian than the IURD, advocating a greater separation between their faith and the secular world. This theological difference will be valuable for examining the differential interaction of religiosity and sectarianism in the appraisal and embodiment of psycho-social stress. Participant observations and interviews will focus on (1) the construction and distribution of religious cultural models of ideal personhood and lifestyle; and (2) evaluating well-being through mental health surveys and physiological health measures.This research offers an understanding of how religion influences physiological and psychological well-being. More specifically, this research will empirically show how religion may be an adaptive strategy that impoverished populations utilize to moderate the stress of their daily lives by offering an alternative and attainable set of life goals and identities. Ultimately, this research will contribute to understanding the rapid Protestant growth occurring in Latin America and throughout the world.
亚拉巴马大学博士生H. J. François Dengah在William W. Dressler将调查宗教文化和谐对幸福的影响。特别是,本研究询问,如果理想的侍祭身份和行为缓冲日常压力的巴西五旬节教会的社会和经济边缘化的成员所经历的宗教概念。1960年至1985年,巴西的新教徒人口翻了两番。然而,这种扩张在巴西的穷人、被剥夺公民权的人和少数民族中不成比例。这项研究假设,五旬节社区提供了一个替代的文化景观,创造身份,权力和地位,这可能会矛盾,补偿,甚至挑战占主导地位的行为规范。因此,宗教文化和谐可能是边缘化的巴西五旬节派用来减轻日常生活中生理和心理压力的一种特定机制。这项混合方法研究将在巴西圣保罗里贝朗普雷图进行。这项研究将在两个特定社区的成员中进行:上帝大会和上帝之王普世教会。AD在神学上比IURD更宗派主义,主张他们的信仰和世俗世界之间更大的分离。这种神学上的差异对于考察宗教虔诚和宗派主义在心理社会压力的评价和体现中的差异性相互作用将是有价值的。参与者的观察和访谈将集中在(1)理想人格和生活方式的宗教文化模式的构建和分布,以及(2)通过心理健康调查和生理健康测量来评估幸福感。本研究旨在了解宗教如何影响生理和心理幸福感。更具体地说,这项研究将实证表明,宗教如何可能是一种适应性策略,贫困人口利用它来缓解日常生活的压力,提供一套替代和可实现的生活目标和身份。最终,这项研究将有助于了解在拉丁美洲和世界各地发生的快速新教增长。
