Na polu badań psychologicznych obszary religii i stresu były powiązane ze sobą od dawna. Spośród koncepcji wyjaśniających funkcję religii w sytuacjach trudnych najbardziej popularna stała się w ostatnich latach teoria religijnego radzenia sobie (religious coping), rozwijana przez K. I. Pargamenta. Podejście to można scharakteryzować jako poznawcze, zorientowane na proces i pragmatyczne. W artykule przedstawiono aparat pojęciowy teorii, sposób, w jaki omawiana teoria wyjaśnia udział religii w poszczególnych etapach procesu radzenia sobie ze stresem, oraz mechanizmy, przez które ten udział się dokonuje. Przedstawiono również charakterystykę wyróżnionych przez Pargamenta religijnych metod radzenia sobie. Pomimo pewnych braków teoretycznych, model ten, dzięki swej wieloaspektowości, dostarczył podstaw do szerokich i perspektywicznych programów badań. Wprowadził bowiem nowy punkt widzenia na związek religijności ze zdrowiem psychicznym, co stanowiło impuls do ożywienia i zdynamizowania badań w dziedzinie psychologii religii.

In psychological research areas of religion and stress have been interconnected for many years. Among theories explaining the function of religion in stressful situations, the theory of religious coping developed by K. I. Pargament has recently gained considerable popularity. This approach can be characterized as cognitive, process-oriented and pragmatic. This article presents the terminological apparatus of this theory, the explanation the theory gives for the role of religion on particular stages of the process of coping with stress and mechanisms responsible for this role. The religious coping strategies described by Pargament are also characterized. Despite of some theoretical drawbacks, owing to its multi-dimensionality, this theory provided bases for extensive and promising research programmes. It introduced a new point of view on the associations between religiosity and psychic health, which provided an impulse for boosting research in psychology of religion.

Objectives: Religiosity may serve as a personal source of support when people face a life-threatening illness, but it can also elicit stress. The main aim of this study is to show how various religious dimensions interplay in predicting death anxiety in patients diagnosed as having cancer. Material and Methods: In the cross‐sectional, descriptive‐analytical research, 141 Polish patients who were hospitalized due to cancer were selected using sequential convenience sampling. Data were collected using the Centrality of Religiosity Scale, Religious Comfort and Strain Scale, and the Death Anxiety and Dying Distress Scale. Results: The authors’ results show that the effect of the centrality of religiosity on death anxiety is non-linear. The authors can also confirm the mediating role of religious comfort and struggles in the relationship between the centrality of religiosity and death anxiety. Conclusions: Thus, religious struggles appear to weaken the effect of religion on death anxiety, whereas religious comfort (contrary to expectation) does not enhance it.

The Strategic Approach to Coping Scale (SACS) is a tool designed to measure coping strategies in terms of the Multiaxial Model of Coping. The aim of this article is to present our work towards adapting the SACS to the Polish cultural context. The Polish translation of this measure and the Rotter Incomplete Sentence Blank were applied to 1,074 Poles from 11 sample groups at risk of social exclusion. Principal component analysis performed on the data showed six components rather than the original nine. Second-order factor analysis carried out on the subscale scores revealed three factors partially consistent with the original theoretical assumptions. Convergences and discrepancies of the resulting structure versus the original one are discussed, along with reliability and the preliminary theoretical validity of the method.

The Strategic Approach to Coping Scale (SACS) is a measure based on the Multiaxial Model of Coping. The original version of the scale consists of nine subscales, which form three second-order factors. An up-to-date review of SACS cultural adaptations was provided in order to examine the evidence for the cultural stability of SACS first- and second-level structures. The review demonstrated that among the SACS first-level factors some are more culturally stable and some are more sensitive to cultural context. The second-order structure of the SACS is more interculturally stable, especially the active–passive and social factors have a robust empirical justification.

The aim of the article is to describe the relationship between neighboring social capital and problem behaviors of young people, which one of the manifestations is the use of psychoactive substances. Theoretical part of article is a review of the literature on social capital and its understanding by the authors presenting different scientific approaches. Then it describes the importance of neighborly relations in the modern world. Article also includes the epidemiological analysis of psychoactive substances consumption by young people. Theoretical considerations are summarized by presentation of the Jessor’s Problem Behavior Theory, which contains the neighborly relations as a protecting factor against the occurrence of risky behavior among young people. The empirical part of the article presents the results of research conducted on a group of young people from Lublin province. This part shows the relationship between owned neighboring relations and the use of legal and illegal psychoactive substances.

Celem artykułu jest opis związku pomiędzy sąsiedzkim kapitałem społecznym a zachowaniami problemowymi młodzieży, których jednym z przejawów jest używanie substancji psychoaktywnych. W części teoretycznej dokonano przeglądu literatury dotyczącej kapitału społecznego i jego rozumienia przez autorów prezentujących różne podejścia naukowe. Następnie opisano znaczenie relacji sąsiedzkich we współczesnym świecie. Dokonano również analizy epidemiologicznej spożywania przez młodzież substancji psychoaktywnych – alkoholu oraz narkotyków. Rozważania teoretyczne podsumowano prezentacją Teorii Zachowań Problemowych R. i S. Jessorów, która ujmuje relacje sąsiedzkie jako czynnik chroniący przed wystąpieniem zachowań ryzykownych u młodzieży. W części empirycznej artykułu zaprezentowane zostały wyniki badań przeprowadzonych na grupie młodzieży z terenu województwa lubelskiego. Oceniono w nich związek zachodzący pomiędzy posiadanymi relacjami sąsiedzkimi a używaniem legalnych oraz nielegalnych substancji psychoaktywnych.

ObjectivesThis study aimed to understand the relationship between resource gains and losses, coping, and the quality of life during the growth phase of the COVID‑19 pandemic.Material and MethodsThe Internet-based survey covered 353 individuals who had participated in a psychological support project operated by one of the non-governmental organizations in Lublin, Poland, in the 12 months prior to the outbreak of the pandemic. The questionnaire used in the study contained questions to collect sociodemographic data and psychometric scales to measure resource gains and losses (the Conservation of Resources – Evaluation questionnaire), the quality of life (the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF), and strategies of coping with the pandemic situation (a modified Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced questionnaire).ResultsA higher global quality of life occurred with higher gains and minor losses, as well as with coping through planning, positive reframing, emotional support seeking, a reduced substance use tendency, low self-blame, avoidance, and disengagement. Moreover, helplessness-based coping strategies were found to mediate both the relationships between resource gains and the quality of life, and between resource losses and the quality of life.ConclusionsFactors that may reduce people’s quality of life during the COVID‑19 pandemic are an increase in losses and limited gains, experienced over the 6 months preceding the pandemic, as well as not using active, meaning-oriented, and support-seeking coping strategies, but using avoidance behaviors instead. Coping strategies specific to people experiencing helplessness are a mediating mechanism between losses and limited gains of resources, and the quality of life.
