AI Article Synopsis

  • The study focused on young Muslim adults in Lahore, Pakistan, examining how religious coping influences psychological distress through self-regulation, with gender as a moderating factor.
  • It found that self-regulation acted as a mediator, reducing stress and anxiety linked to positive religious coping, while increasing stress associated with negative religious coping.
  • Additionally, the results indicated that these mediated effects were more pronounced in young men than in women, highlighting important gender differences in coping strategies and psychological outcomes.

Article Abstract

The main aim of the study was to assess the direct, mediated, and conditional mediated associations among religious coping, self-regulation, and psychological distress in young Muslim adults while analyzing gender as a moderator of these mediated associations. Based on a sample of 247 young adults from Lahore, Pakistan (M age = 21.31, SD = 2.40; 51% women, 49% men), it was found that self-regulation mediated the negative associations of positive religious coping with stress and anxiety and the positive association of negative religious coping with stress. Further, it was found that mediated associations were stronger and significant in young men compared to women. The implications of the findings concerning gender differences in association between religious coping, self-regulation, and psychological distress are discussed.
