| Summary: | This study explored attitudes of Protestant Christians toward mental health interventions in the church. The following results were obtained: (a) conservative religiosity was positively correlated with attitudes favorable toward church interventions and negatively correlated with attitudes favorable toward traditional non-church psychology interventions, (b) conservative religiosity was correlated with preference for church interventions over psychology interventions, and (c) beneficial use of the mental health care system was positively correlated with favorable attitudes toward both psychology and mixture interventions, as well as a preference for these interventions over church interventions. These preliminary results should guide future research in this area, and may inform clergy and consulting psychologists as they design and implement mental health programs in the church. |
