| Résumé: | Past research has demonstrated negative religious coping's relation to dysfunctional moods during bereavement, but no study has examined negative religious coping's influence on emotion processes tied to loss. A total of 99 college students who had experienced a loss provided demographics and measures of social desirability, religiousness, spirituality, neuroticism, and two forms of religious coping. Participants also completed a Loss Interview (LI) that was designed to elicit grief by discussing memories of the deceased. Participants were also asked to evaluate their emotional state before the L1, immediately following the LI, one minute and five minutes after the LI. As hypothesised, negative religious coping predicted dysregulation of grief in the form of heightened reactivity and prolonged recovery. These results are the first ones to relate negative religious coping to maladaptive emotion patterns as well as identify specific aspects of religious coping relevant to dysfunction. |
