Religious Commitment and Mental Health: A Review of the Empirical Literature

John Gartner, Dave B. Larson, George D. Allen · 1 Mar 1991

However, this literature has been limited by the lack of a sound theoretical and psychometric scale that operationalizes the attachment to God construct. Toward that end, the paper presents data from…

Toward An Integrative Measure of Health and Well-Being

Craig W. Ellison, Joel Smith · 1 Mar 1991

Psychological and theological concepts of the integrative nature of healthy human personality are examined, with particular emphasis on the biblical relationships between integrated personality and shalom, or well-being.
