According to this study, Scrupulosity is a moral/religious subtype of obsessivecompulsive disorder (OCD) that remains within the extant literature. (Fergus & Rowatt, 2014).
The purpose of this study was to study the association the belief in God or spirituality, and
scrupulosity. Suggesting that a belief in god acts like other attachment figures within the domain
of OCD. The study found that within the realm of OCD and the attachment of a God figure that
the attachment did not show enough evidence to suggest their being a connection between the
two however, within the realm of attachment anxiety it was found that there was a significant
association with scrupulosity. Also it was discovered that within interpersonal relationships that
religious beliefs shared a negative effect on OCD dysfunctional belief. In conclusion the authors
added that 450 sample of a community of adults completed self-reports on the topic of
scrupulosity and obsessive-compulsive symptoms and the attachment to God.

In this study the researchers search out validation of the Sanctification of the Social
Justice Scale (SSJS). Throughout the paper the researchers explore the deeper meaning of being
Christian. The study used four factors to explore social justice within over 1200 Christian college
students, and this included exploratory, factor analysis, confirmatory factory analysis, internal
consistency, along with convergent validity. Seeking within they sought to provide psychometric
support for the 1 factor 5 item SSJS. Extending the theory of sanctification and unexamined
domains of social justice. The study also provides a scale of preliminary research for the
validation within Christians. The hope of the study is that future research may be done on this

topic of the SSJS that will lead to a greater understanding of how SSJS works within the domain
of expressing gods will to the extent of being Christian.

(SES) of African American women. Out of 144 woman that were primary care givers disorders
were reported more frequently in homes of with no religious background. Where women with
religious backing reported less parenting disorder and stress. Giving the researcher a belief that
those with a religious background had more of a sense of wellbeing in their relationship with
god. The goal was to see if those parents with a religious belief in god would have more disorder
in their neighborhoods, than the woman who had no religious backing. The researchers
determined that those woman with a religious belief and sense of a life with God had little or no
neighbor disorder. They also found that no moderation effect was found and that it was an either
or scenario. In conclusion the results were framed emphasizing the relevance of incorporating a

In this study the researchers were enthralled by the mass amount of men in England were
becoming Buddhists. With studies on the subject be few and far in-between they decided to
explore the subject. These researchers went out to the masses to attempt to find some answers.
They interviewed 30 male meditators in London. In an attempt to further explore this issue and
get an in-depth view point of why the sudden change. With the ideas of Buddhism promoting
wellbeing not only spiritually, but physically as well men in England have started practicing
these self-help ideas to improve their own lives. Psychologically and socially from a gender
prospective it is offering men a way to rework as it may be, the identity of the male masculine
way. The study offered insight to the attraction, and hazards of men practicing this religious
point of view.
