초록

Korean Americans have been known for their high affiliation with Christian churches and frequent attendance to their religious communities. Given the religious salience, we examined how attachment to God and religious coping influence depressive symptoms among 214 Korean immigrants in the face of distress from immigration. We hypothesized a path model based on the assumption that the internal working model of attachment to God manifests as religious coping which is attachment behavior. The results supported the hypothesized path model with good model fit indices. Also, it was found that negative religious coping directly predicts depression and mediates the effect of anxious attachment to God on depression. The limitations and implications were discussed.

Abstract

Korean Americans have been known for their high affiliation with Christian churches and frequent attendance to their religious communities. Given the religious salience, we examined how attachment to God and religious coping influence depressive symptoms among 214 Korean immigrants in the face of distress from immigration. We hypothesized a path model based on the assumption that the internal working model of attachment to God manifests as religious coping which is attachment behavior. The results supported the hypothesized path model with good model fit indices. Also, it was found that negative religious coping directly predicts depression and mediates the effect of anxious attachment to God on depression. The limitations and implications were discussed.
