- Abstract
This study examined the associations between positive and negative religious coping, symptoms of depression and anxiety, physical and emotional well-being among Somali college students in Minnesota. In this online cross-sectional survey study, 156 participants (ages 18-21, M = 21, SD = 2.3) were recruited. Participants reported using more positive religious coping methods. Negative religious coping was associated with an increase in symptoms of both depression ( b = .06, p = .003) and anxiety ( b = .04, p = .05), and positive religious coping was associated with a decrease in symptoms of depression ( b = −.04, p = .05).
