A stratified randomized sample of 525 middle age (35-64 years old) men was used to study the relationships between self-reported level of church attendance (CA), self-reported religious faith (SRRF), religious well-being (RWB), existential well-being (EWB), self-actualization (SA), health, lifestyle, and participation in physical activity (PA). Religious measures (RWB, CA, and SRRF) were found to be dependent on psychosocial variables in terms of their relationships with PA, lifestyle, and health. On the other hand, psychosocial resourcefulness (SA, EWB, social support, and stress management) showed independent relationships with lifestyle, PA, and health. These findings indicate that the positive associations of psychological and sociological constructs with health are not related to or dependent upon ego syntonic religious identity.
采用分层随机抽样的方法，对 525 名中年（35-64 岁）男性进行研究，以探讨自报的教堂出勤率（CA）、自报的宗教信仰（SRRF）、宗教幸福感（RWB）、存在幸福感（EWB）、自我实现（SA）、健康、生活方式和参与体育活动（PA）之间的关系。研究发现，宗教措施（RWB、CA 和 SRRF）与 PA、生活方式和健康的关系取决于心理社会变量。另一方面，心理社会资源（SA、EWB、社会支持和压力管理）与生活方式、PA 和健康呈独立关系。这些发现表明，心理和社会学结构与健康的正相关关系与自我和谐的宗教认同无关或不依赖于这种认同。
