Abstract:
This study investigated whether the relationship between perceived health and somatic anxiety is moderated by religious involvement among a sample of Hispanic Seventh-day Adventists (n = 365) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using PROCESS moderation analysis, we examined the interaction between perceived health and religious involvement on somatic anxiety. Results indicated a significant interaction effect, suggesting that the inverse relationship between perceived health and somatic anxiety was stronger when religious involvement was present.
