Despite a growing body of literature documenting beneficial outcomes of religious coping, there are virtually no studies examining sexual assault survivors' use of religious coping. To fill this gap in the literature, the current study examines predictors and outcomes of positive and negative religious coping among 100 sexual assault survivors who believed in God. Results suggested that African American survivors were more likely to use both forms of religious coping than survivors from other ethnicities. Yet, results also suggest that positive religious coping is related to higher levels of psychological well-being and lower levels of depression, whereas negative religious coping is related to higher levels of depression, regardless of ethnicity. The only outcome where ethnicity makes a difference is posttraumatic growth with a stronger relationship between positive religious coping and posttraumatic growth among Caucasian survivors space. The implications of these findings for research and practice are discussed.
尽管越来越多的文献记录了宗教应对的有益结果，但实际上几乎没有研究检查性侵犯幸存者对宗教应对的使用。为了填补这一文献空白，本研究考察了 100 名信仰上帝的性侵犯幸存者积极和消极宗教应对的预测因素和结果。结果表明，非裔美国幸存者比其他族裔的幸存者更有可能使用这两种形式的宗教应对。然而，结果还表明，积极的宗教应对与更高的心理幸福感和更低的抑郁水平相关，而消极的宗教应对与更高的抑郁水平相关，无论种族如何。唯一的结果是创伤后成长，在白人幸存者中，积极的宗教应对与创伤后成长之间的关系更强。这些发现对研究和实践的意义将进行讨论。
