Although positive religious coping is generally viewed as an adaptive, functional coping pattern, some studies have actually found positive religious coping to be associated with more distress in military populations. In the current study, we examined the role of positive religious coping on distress across 2 time points. Participants in this study were 192 Army soldiers (men = 90.4%) who were stationed in Iraq for a 1-year deployment in 2005. Using structural equation modeling, we conducted a cross-lag analysis of positive religious coping and distress. Results indicated that greater use of positive religious coping significantly predicted greater distress 1 month later, whereas distress at T1 did not predict positive religious coping 1 month later. Combat exposure was also a significant predictor of distress 1 month later. Implications of these results include the need to inquire about clients' use of religious coping and whether such coping methods are having the desired effect for them. (PsycINFO Database Record
尽管积极的宗教应对方式通常被视为一种适应性的、有效的应对模式，但一些研究实际上发现，积极的宗教应对与军人群体中更多的痛苦有关。在当前的研究中，我们考察了积极的宗教应对在两个时间点上对痛苦的作用。本研究的参与者是192名陆军士兵（男性占90.4%），他们于2005年在伊拉克驻扎了一年。我们使用结构方程模型对积极的宗教应对和痛苦进行了交叉滞后分析。结果表明，更多地使用积极的宗教应对方式显著预测了一个月后更多的痛苦，而T1时的痛苦并未预测一个月后的积极宗教应对。战斗暴露也是一个月后痛苦的显著预测因素。这些结果的启示包括需要询问客户对宗教应对的使用情况以及这种应对方式是否对他们产生了预期的效果。（PsycINFO数据库记录）
