The project aims to introduce the regulatory function of religiosity on the perceived stress in a post-COVID-19 situation. Recent studies emphasize religion’s “two-faced Janus” influence on stress management. As a result, answering the question of what specific characteristics of religiosity and forms of religious coping contribute to adaptive coping patterns with stress is especially vital.
The priority tasks that the project implements: Explore the influence of implicit beliefs on religiosity and the relation between religious orientation and coping and constructive thinking; Study the psychological profile of religious individuals concerning constructive thinking and specific coping strategies; The research results are expected to be of significant interest to social practice, especially for a multicultural and multi-religious community.
