“…However, key questions remain about positive and negative religious coping. In particular, although studies that have assessed both positive and negative religious coping generally show that associations of negative religious coping are stronger and more consistent than are those of positive religious coping (e.g., Pargament et al, 2000; Pargament, Koenig, Tarakeshwar, & Hahn, 2001; see Ano & Vasconcelles, 2005), studies often examine the associations of positive and negative religious coping with well-being separately (e.g., Amadi et al, 2016; Parenteau, 2016; Tarakeshwar et al, 2006) rather than conjointly. Thus, it is not well established whether positive religious coping may be independently associated with well-being when also taking negative religious coping into account.…”
