Previous researchers have shown that the collaborative, self-directing, and deferring
styles of religious coping result in different outcomes of depression under different levels of
perceived stress. Neuroticism has also been shown to affect coping effectiveness overall or
choice of coping method. However, little work has been done to investigate the association
between neuroticism and the choice or effectiveness of religious coping styles in particular, or on
the association of neuroticism and perceived stress. The present study addressed research
questions by examining relations among neuroticism, perceived stress, objective life events,
religious and non-religious coping styles, effectiveness of coping styles, and depression.
Hierarchical multiple regression and correlational techniques found that religious coping styles
predict depression, religious and non-religious coping correspond, and neuroticism predicts
perceived stress beyond situational stressors. Neuroticism did not predict use of religious coping
styles, but remaining personality factors were successful in predicting coping. Implications,
limitations, and future directions are discussed.
