Title: Let Go and Let God? Passive Religious Deferral Coping Mediates the Relationship between Neuroticism and Psychological Well-being

چکیده
The backdrop for this paper is the finding that personality traits (especially extraversion and neuroticism) are overwhelmingly the strongest predictors of wellbeing (Lucas & Diener, 2008). Overall religiousness is also a consistent predictor of well-being. These analyses addressed two questions among 122 highly religious, midlife Christians: (1) how do religious coping strategies used to gain control relate to Five Factor Model personality traits; and (2) do positive and negative religious coping styles pathways facilitate the expression of relatively stable, enduring personality traits into positive and negative well-being outcomes, respectively?
