Suppressor Effects of Positive and Negative Religious Coping on Academic Burnout Among Korean Middle School Students

Abstract

Statistical suppressor effects in prediction models can provide evidence of the interdependent relationship of independent variables. In this study, the suppressor effects of positive and negative religious coping on academic burnout were examined using longitudinal data. First, 388 middle school students reported their type of religion and use of positive and negative religious coping strategies. Four months later, they also reported their level of academic burnout. From structural equation modeling, significant suppressor effects were found among religious students. That is, the coefficients became larger when both positive and negative religious coping predicted academic burnout simultaneously, compared to when each religious coping predicted academic burnout alone. However, suppressor effects were not found among non-religious students.

Validación de la Escala Abreviada de Afrontamiento Religioso Brief-RCOPE en el Contexto Argentino en estudiantes de confesión católica

“…Si bien la mayoría de los estudios que emplean la B-RCOPE han sido llevados a cabo en Estados Unidos (Pargament et al, 2011), se han registrado numerosos desarrollos en diferentes contextos, como Alemania (Zwingmann, Müller, Körber, & Murken, 2008;Zwingmann, Wirtz, Müller, Körber, & Murken, 2006), Brasil (Freitas et al, 2015;Ramirez et al, 2012), Canadá (Houck, 2012), Corea (Noh, Chang, Jang, Lee, & Lee, 2016), Croacia (Mihaljević, Aukst-Margetić, Vuksan-Ćusa, Koić, & Milošević, 2012), España (Martinez & Sousa, 2011), Francia (Caporossi, Trouillet, & Brouillet, 2012), Grecia (Kapsou, Panayiotou, Kokkinos, & Demetriou, 2010), Holanda (Braam et al, 2008, India (Grover, Sarkar, Bhalla, Chakrabarti, & Avasthi, 2016;Roberts & Montgomery, 2015), Inglaterra (Brewer, Robinson, Sumra, Tatsi, & Gire, 2015;Thuné-Boyle et al, 2013) Uwakwe, Aguocha, et al, 2016;Amadi, Uwakwe, Ndukuba, et al, 2016), Nueva Zelanda (Gardner, Krägeloh, & Henning, 2014), Pakistán (Khan & Watson, 2006) (Schaal, Heim, & Elbert, 2014), Suiza (Fitchett, Winter-Pfandler, & Pargament, 2014) y Tanzania (Watt et al, 2014). Los estudios que emplean la escala RCOPE han utilizado muestras de población adolescente y adulta, tanto religiosa como no religiosa, lo que contribuye a confirmar el modelo propuesto por el autor.…”

Children's Religious Coping Scale: Adaptation and Psychometric Properties

“…In spite of the clear importance of religious coping, there is only an incipient, though increasing, interest in the investigation of this subject with youth (Al-Hadethe, Hunt, Thomas, & Al-Qaysi, 2014;Cotton, McGrady, & Rosenthal, 2010;Noh, Chang, Jang, Lee, & Lee, 2015;Renani, Hajinejad, Idani, & Ravanipour, 2014;Reynolds, Mrug, Hensler, Guion, & Madan-Swain, 2014).…”

Religijne sposoby radzenia sobie a stres i wypalenie zawodowe u nauczycieli religii

“…Określa się je mianem strategii pozytywnych (positive religious coping; PRC) albo negatywnych (negative religious coping; NRC), adekwatnie do tego, czy ich stosowanie okazuje się zazwyczaj korzystne czy też niekorzystne w rozwiązywaniu problemów (Pargament, Feuille, Burdzy, 2011). Przykładem badań dotyczących problematyki wypalenia i radzenia sobie, mających na względzie te dwa zasadnicze sposoby korzystania z religii, są badania podłużne nad wypaleniem uczniów szkół średnich w Korei (Noh, Chang, Jang, Lee, Lee, 2016): PRC miały ujemny, a NRC -dodatni związek z poziomem wypalenia, mierzonym po czterech miesiącach nauki szkolnej.…”
