• Socioeconomic Status and Beliefs about God's Influence in Everyday Life (2010, background): “Orthodox Christian theology socializes the belief that God desires to maintain a special connection with each individual and commonly intercedes in their lives (Ellison et al. 2001; Smith 2007; Watson et al. 1988).”
• Does Religion Buffer the Effects of Discrimination on Mental Health? Differing Effects by Race (2006, background): “Similarly, belief in eternal life has also been shown to buffer the effects of financial strain on mental health (Ellison et al. 2001), while others have found that praying and seeking comfort through religion buffers financial strain, but only for women (Wang and Patten 2002).”
• LGBT Aging: A Review of Research Findings, Needs, and Policy Implications (2016, background): “Although religiosity is related to better health in the general population (Ellison, 1991; Ellison et al., 2001), little empirical research exists about the effects of religious networks and LGBT older adults.”
• SELF-REPORTED EXPERIENCES OF DISCRIMINATION AND HEALTH: SCIENTIFIC ADVANCES, ONGOING CONTROVERSIES, AND EMERGING ISSUES (2015, background): “Research has long shown that religious beliefs and behavior can buffer or moderate some of the negative effects of chronic and acute stressors on health (Ellison et al. 2001, Williams et al. 1991, Wink et al. 2005).”
• The Sense of Divine Control and the Self-Concept (2005, background): “Although recent research highlights the positive and negative effects of diverse forms of religiosity on the self-concept (Ellison et al. 2001; Pargament 2002), specification of the effects of religious beliefs on self processes deserves more attention.”
• Effects of Religion and Purpose in Life on Elders' Subjective Well-Being and Attitudes Toward Death (2003, background): “According to Donahue (1985, p. 400) it is a “religion of comfort and social convention, a self-serving, instrumental approach shaped to suit oneself.” Based on those definitions, religious affiliation and religious activities such as church attendance, which are often used in studies on religion (e.”
• Specifying race-ethnic differences in risk for psychiatric disorder in a USA national sample (2005, background): “Ethnic identification (Herd & Grube, 1996;Mossakowski, 2003) and religious participation (Ellison et al., 2001;Lee & Newberg, 2005;Varon & Riley, 1999;Wallace & Forman, 1998) have been suggested as protective factors that might explain lower lifetime risk for disorder among race-ethnic minorities.”
• Pornography Use and Depressive Symptoms: Examining the Role of Moral Incongruence (2018, methodology): “The outcome variable for this study is an index made from three indicators for symptoms of depression commonly used in studies of mental health using other data (Ellison et al. 2001; Hopcroft and Bradley 2007; Krause 2010) and PALS (Chou and Hofer 2014; Schafer 2013).”
