Gaps identified Flashcards
What is a significant limitation in the existing literature on religion and SWB?
The existing literature primary focuses on older population, and does not sufficiently address the unique experiences and challenges of college students who encounter distinct psychological stressors of cultural influences. 
What is common oversimplification in current research regarding religious activities and beliefs?
Current research often fails to distinguish between diverse religious activities and believes, leading to oversimplification of religious experiences and their impact on SWB.
Why it important to explore the relationship between religious experience and SWB specifically in college students?
It’s important because the unique pressure of being college student may introduce new aspects of SWB, not traditionally accounted for, potentially leading to novel empirical links between religious experience and SWB. Understanding these links could be invaluable for developing targeted mental health intervention for religious student at the college level.
