Abstract

A stratified random sample of 100 older participants in the Second Duke Longitudinal Study was interviewed. Responses to open-ended coping questions were commonly religious in nature. For at least 1 of the 3 stressful periods inquired about, 45% of the sample mentioned a religious coping behavior. Because of the socio-demographic characteristics of participants, these results provided evidence against the generally held view that religion is relevant only to the poor or uneducated. This coping strategy's effectiveness is supported by studies that have revealed a positive relationship between religious behaviors and well-being.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
