- Incorporating Spirituality and Religion Into the Treatment of African American Clients (2010, background): “…are some African Americans, however, who, despite a deep, personal relationship with God or the Creator and a commitment to live their lives according to spiritual principles, maintain no formal religious or church involvement (Chatters, Taylor, Bullard, & Jackson, 2008; Constantine et al., 2000).”
- Religiosity and consumer behavior: a summarizing review (2019, background): “Literature shows that church members with high levels of participation in formal activities tend to be more interdependent (McClain 1970; Hamby 1973) and have more collective coping styles (Constantine et al. 2000) than those who are less involved with the church.”
