“…This is novel finding concerning EQ is relevant for understanding meaning‐making in bereavement: higher EQ suggests greater openness to finding new meanings in life, which might prima facie be considered valuable in bereavement. Indeed, EQ has been associated with greater well‐being in the general population, and with prosocial attitudes (e.g., forgiveness) that may be beneficial in bereavement as well (Arrowood et al., 2021 ). Nevertheless, associations have also been observed between EQ and greater death anxiety and existential uncertainty, issues that are likely to be more relevant for those who are recently bereaved (Arrowood III et al., 2018 ).…”

Bereavement increases in prevalence as people age and is associated with multiple psychological and health risks, including cardiovascular risk. Religious and existential variables may play an important role in the health impacts of bereavement. Theorized pathways linking religious and existential variables with health have suggested these associations are due to intermediary psychosocial variables, but have not been tested in bereavement. This research empirically tested these pathways in a bereaved population. In N = 73 adults within 1 year of bereavement (mean age = 64.36), this study examined associations between (1) religious and existential characteristics (religious and spiritual struggles, intrinsic religiosity, and existential quest) and intermediary psychosocial variables (depression, loneliness, and difficulties in emotion regulation), and between (2) intermediary psychosocial variables and bereavement‐relevant health outcomes (self‐reported health, change in health since last year, grief severity, and cardiovascular biomarkers). Cardiovascular biomarkers (heart rate, heart rate variability, and blood pressure) were collected before, during, and after a laboratory grief recall emotion elicitation. Anticipated associations between self‐reported religious and existential characteristics and intermediary variables, and between intermediary variables and self‐reported bereavement‐relevant outcomes, were consistently observed. However, associations between intermediary variables and cardiovascular biomarkers were largely unobserved. This study examined the role of religious and existential variables in whole‐person health after bereavement and is among the first to include biomarkers of cardiovascular risk. Results suggest that although religious and existential variables are associated with important bereavement‐related outcomes, these associations may be “skin‐deep,” and extensions to cardiovascular functioning should be re‐examined.

Pendidikan dan pertumbuhan spiritual sering melibatkan fase yang penuh pencarian dan pergumulan yang dapat mengganggu kesejahteraan seseorang. Namun, jika fase pergumulan pencarian ini memang menjadi bagian yang wajar dari perjalanan spiritual, maka diperlukan strategi untuk mengelolanya. Artikel ini meneliti hubungan antara fase psikologis pencarian (Quest) dan kesejahteraan (Flourishing), serta kontribusi dari dimensi Managing Identity dari konsep Diferensiasi Diri. Data diambil dari 303 mahasiswa seminari dari 28 sekolah tinggi teologi di Indonesia. Analisis regresi bertingkat menemukan bahwa Quest memang memprediksi secara negatif kesejahteraan mahasiswa seminari (β=-.13, p<.01), namun Managing Identity dari Diferensiasi Diri berkontribusi positif lebih besar pada kesejahteraan (β=.61, p<.01). Implikasi dari temuan ini akan didiskusikan. Dimensi Quest dan Diferensiasi Diri ternyata terkait erat dengan teologi Reformed, soteriologi dan eklesiologi, serta fokus pada realitas Trinitas yang menjadi model kehidupan Kristiani.
