| description | The coping with stress is an important skill that is vital to human functioning. Spirituality and Religiosity are also determinant factors in the life decisions, experiences, and behavior of young people, which help them take on positive or negative coping strategies in the face of stressors. The aim of this study was to determine how spiritual engagement may mediate the relationship between an individual’s religiosity and their use of religious coping strategies. A total of 342 students from two universities in eastern Poland participated in the study. The average age was 20.85 [95% CI: 20.607-21.095] years old. In the study group, 87.3% of respondents admitted to being Roman Catholic, while in declarations of faith, 65.1% said they were believers, and another 13.9% considered themselves deeply religious. The data were collected using the two standardized scales: the Brief – Religious Coping Questionnaire (Brief RCOPE) and Spiritual Attitude and Involvement List (SAIL). It was observed that positive religious coping strategies prevailed among the students surveyed. The highest-rated SAIL subscale was the Meaningfulness (4.65; 95% CI: 4.571-4.723), while the lowest was Transcendent Experience (3.28; 95% CI: 3.172-3.384). Significant positive correlations were found between the six areas of spirituality assessed by the SAIL scale and positive religious coping strategies. The results showed a significant total effect of religiosity on positive religious coping (beta=0,755; B=7.665;p |
