Researchers studying religious-based coping note that it is important to distinguish this specific subset of religiosity from general religiosity. Why?

What will be an ideal response?


Religious-based coping refers to the use of religious methods to reduce stress whereas general religiosity does not necessarily have that aim. Psychologist and pioneer religiosity/spirituality researcher Kenneth Pargament and his colleagues (Pargament, Smith, Koenig, & Perez, 1998, p. 710) argue that religious-based coping adds a unique component to the study of coping and thus "religious coping cannot be ‘reduced' to nonreligious forms of coping".
