在这项研究中，我们研究了压力缓冲效应的内在宗教取向的社区样本的成年新教教徒。在时间1，参与者完成了内在宗教，宗教活动和烦躁不安的措施。在28个月后，他们完成了负性生活事件和烦躁不安的措施。对于来自自由新教教会的参与者（例如，内在的宗教性在预测烦躁不安的时间I-时间2残余变化中充当了压力缓冲器。对于来自更保守的新教教会的参与者来说，这种影响并不显著（例如，Baptist）。同样，单身;项目措施宗教的重要性，祈祷的频率，并出席教堂的频率作为压力缓冲的自由派参与者，但不为保守派参与者。对后者参与者的非显着影响归因于他们对宗教变量的限制范围。前参与者的结果表明，宗教的“承诺”是一个个体差异变量，影响调整到负面的生活事件。(C)John Wiley & Sons，Inc
In this study we examined the stress-buffering effect of an intrinsic religious orientation for a community sample of adult Protestant churchgoers. At time 1, participants completed measures of intrinsic religiousness, religious activity, and dysphoria. At lime 2 8 months later, they completed measures of negative life events and dysphoria. For participants from liberal Protestant churches (e.g., Methodist), intrinsic religiousness served as a stress-buffer in the prediction of time I-time 2 residual change in dysphoria. This effect was nonsignificant for participants from more conservative Protestant churches (e.g., Baptist). Similarly, single;item measures of religion's importance, frequency of prayer, and frequency of church attendance served as stress-buffers for liberal participants, but not for conservative participants. The nonsignificant effects for the latter participants are attributable to their restricted range on the religion variables. The results for the former participants suggest that religious "commitment" is an individual difference variable that influences adjustment to negative life events. (C) John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
