religiosity and mental health  

Definición

  • While there is a substantial literature that connects religiosity and physical health outcomes, including factors such as heart disease, cholesterol, hypertension, cancer, and mortality, among others, the relationship between religious faith and mental health outcomes may not be as well known among the general public (Plante & Sharma, 2001). At the same time, considering that 80% of the world's population belongs to one particular religious tradition or another, religiosity has become an increasingly popular subject of investigation among mental health researchers and clinicians alike (Plante & Sharma, 2001).
