Discuss Park's study in which she concluded that religion was related to meaning-making coping

What will be an ideal response?


Park (2005, p. 721) concluded from her cross-sectional study of 169 bereaved college students that "religion was related to meaning-making coping, as reflected in positive reappraisal coping, and to adjustment in terms of subjective well-being and stress-related growth. Further, the association of religion with these adjustment outcomes was mediated by positive reappraisal coping.". In other words, religion seemed to produce its positive subjective well-being and stress-related growth effects primarily through engendering a type of meaning-making coping called positive reappraisal coping. Along with meaning-making coping, other traditional general types of coping such as seeking social support and emotion-focused coping may also overlap with religious-based coping methods.
