The aim of the research was to analyze the relationships of religious comfort and struggle with state anxiety and satisfaction with life in homosexual and heterosexual samples of men. A hundred and eight men aged between 18 and 43 participated in the research in total, 54 declared themselves as homosexual and 54 as heterosexual. The Religious Comfort and Strain Scale, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Satisfaction with Life Scale were applied to the research. The results of hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that sexual orientation moderated the relationships of religious comfort and struggle with state anxiety and satisfaction with life. The highest state anxiety was observed in homosexual participants with high negative social interactions surrounding religion scores. Negative religious social interactions with fellow congregants and religious leaders, including disapproval and criticism, create anxiety among homosexual people. It seems that homosexual participants are engaged in a trade-off between valued and necessary religious engagement and the harassment and persecution they may be forced to endure in order to access that engagement.
该研究的目的是分析宗教慰藉与挣扎与男性同性恋和异性恋样本中的状态焦虑及生活满意度之间的关系。共有108名年龄在18至43岁之间的男性参与了这项研究，其中54人自称是同性恋者，54人是异性恋者。研究采用了宗教慰藉与压力量表、状态-特质焦虑量表和生活满意度量表。分层多元回归分析的结果显示，性取向调节了宗教慰藉与挣扎与状态焦虑及生活满意度之间的关系。在宗教方面负面社交互动得分较高的同性恋参与者中，观察到了最高的状态焦虑。与教友和宗教领袖之间的负面宗教社交互动，包括不赞成和批评，会在同性恋者中引发焦虑。似乎同性恋参与者在有价值且必要的宗教参与和为了获得这种参与而可能被迫忍受的骚扰与迫害之间进行权衡。
