Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Religious Studies
  • Mental Health Research

Background:

  • Limited research exists on the relationship between religious confessions and mental health outcomes.
  • Understanding variations in psychological well-being across different religious affiliations is crucial for comprehensive mental health assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate and compare the psychological symptom severity among individuals from different religious backgrounds (Buddhism, Catholicism, Protestantism, Islam).
  • To determine if religious affiliation is associated with specific patterns of psychological distress.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 320 participants from four religious groups: Buddhists (n=78), Catholics (n=77), Protestants (n=89), and Muslims (n=79).
  • Symptom severity was assessed and compared across the groups using standardized measures.

Main Results:

  • Buddhists and Protestants exhibited lower scores for obsessive-compulsive behavior and hostility compared to Catholics and Muslims.
  • The Muslim group reported the highest scores for psychoticism.
  • Buddhists and Protestants showed lower scores for paranoid ideation and overall symptom severity, whereas Catholics and Muslims reported higher scores.

Conclusions:

  • Religious confession is a significant factor associated with psychological well-being and should be considered in psychological research and clinical diagnosis.
  • Findings suggest that religious affiliation may be linked to distinct patterns of psychological symptom presentation.
