Authoritarianism has played an important role in research on social behaviour being also related to religiosity which is a quite astonishing outcome if we take into account fundamental teachings of major world religions. Recent research shows that authoritarianism is moderately connected with religious behaviour i.e. the more people are religious the more they are authoritarian. The aim of the present article was to analyze relations between right-wing authoritarianism and religious involvement and religious cognitive styles. The findings revealed that the relationship between authoritarianism and religiosity is more complex than previous research and depends on the character of religious involvement and preferences in religious cognitive styles. High authoritarians tended to show higher levels of religious involvement in such areas as religious convictions, prayer, religious experience, and worship than low authoritarians. The first group was also inclined to process religious information in two styles: Orthodoxy and Second Naiveté which demonstrates positive relations between authoritarianism and inclusion of transcendence and both literal and symbolical interpretation of religious contents.

The paper aims at examining the predictive role of hope in hedonistic and eudaimonistic dimensions of subjective well-being. Five questionnaires were applied: Scale of Hope, BHI-12 Questionnaire, Satisfaction with Life Scale, PANAS-X Scale, Psychological Well-Being Scale. 206 people were subjected to the above methods. The obtained results suggest that hope understood in terms of success and as basic hope is interconnected both with hedonistic and eudaimonistic well-being. Hope for success appears to be a better predictor for a majority of dimensions of well-being, apart from the affective dimension of subjective well-being in which basic hope has a stronger predictive value. The existing connections between hope and hedonistic and eudaimonistic well-being can result from the concept of goals which is deeply embedded in both constructs and has significant motivational roles.

Research currently done in psychology of religion implies existence of a new term “spirituality” which is both related to the concept of religiousness and different from it. The aim of this article is to examine differences and similarities between religiousness and spirituality, and to answer the question whether it is possible to integrate both concepts within methodological issues of psychology of religion. Conducted analyses pointed at differences between religiousness and spirituality e.g. in the scope of the concepts, in their relations with personality, and among references to other spheres of human functioning. At the same time many similarities were discovered that occur on structural and functional levels. Therefore, the optimal solution it to consider religiousness and spirituality as not covering, but overlapping constructs. It implies a postulate of conducting further common research on both concepts which can give us a more precise understanding of connections between psychological functioning of individuals and their relations to the transcendent sphere.

This article aims at analyzing relations between superstitious thinking and religiosity. Superstition is considered to be a concept or belief which is held in spite of lacking evidence. Superstitious behaviour is found in numerous domains of social life e.g. economic behaviour, development, sport, health, and religion. The findings on superstition and religious beliefs have been confusing and inconsistent which was the inspiration for undertaking this issue. In the present study, 201 people filled out 3 questionnaires related to superstition, centrality of religiosity and relations to God. An analysis revealed strong relations between superstition and various dimensions of religious life. Individuals with a lower level of superstitious thinking tended to have stronger religiosity, but only in so called mature dimensions while those with a higher level of superstition were characterized by weaker religiosity in mature dimensions and higher levels of immature religious dimensions.

The aim of this study: The study is to investigate predictive values of the religious meaning system, the centrality of religiosity and social support for mental health outcomes. Although there is some evidence about associations of religiousness and social support with mental health, insufficient data exists to explain which dimensions of religiousness and social support are related to mental health outcomes. material and methods: Participants were 206 people (108 women and 98 men) randomly recruited in southern parts of Poland. Their ages ranged from 18 to 78 years, with a mean age of 38.6 years (SD = 16.44). All participants filled in the four questionnaires: The Religious Meaning System Questionnaire, The Centrality of Religiosity Scale, The Berlin Social Support Scales, and The General Health Questionnaire-28. Results: Both religiousness and social support are associated with mental health outcomes, but the character of these associations depends on particular dimensions. The religious meaning system and the centrality of religiosity showed negative links with the dimension of mental health called somatic symptoms. Actually received support was associated with better mental health, whereas need for support and protective buffering support were predictors of negative mental health outcomes. discussion and conclusions: The findings support the hypotheses that religiousness and social support are predictive factors for mental health outcomes, though their effects are rather moderate or weak. Both religion and social support can influence mental health by imbuing life with a sense of meaning and significance, and offering fellowship in times of stress and suffering.

Duchowość i szczęście są aktualnym tematem badawczym w psychologii pozytywnej. Jednak wciąż niewiele wiadomo, które aspekty duchowości wiążą się z poznawczymi i afektywnymi wymiarami dobrostanu psychicznego. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zbadanie, czy poczucie sensu życia jest mediatorem w relacjach między duchowością i hedonistycznym dobrostanem psychicznym. W badaniach wzięło udział 185 osób (92 kobiety i 93 mężczyzn), które wypełniły Skalę Samoopisu, Kwestionariusz Osobistego Profilu Sensu, Skalę Satysfakcji z Życia SWLS oraz Skalę Uczuć Pozytywnych i Negatywnych PANAS-X. Wyniki wskazały na pozytywne związki między duchowością i dobrostanem psychicznym. Dotyczą one przede wszystkim tych aspektów duchowości, które reprezentują indywidualny potencjał jednostek. Wyniki pokazały również różne role mediacyjne poczucia sensu życia. Sens życia był mediatorem między duchowością i satysfakcją z życia (poznawczy wymiar dobrostanu), natomiast pełnił on funkcję supresora w relacjach duchowości oraz pozytywnego i negatywnego nastroju (afektywne wymiary dobrostanu).
