| Annotation | The concept of God-mediated control is based on the notion that problems can be overcome and goals in life can be reached by working together with God. This US study of a representative sample of 745 older Whites and 752 older Blacks (mean age 74.4) examined the relationship between feelings of God-mediated control and psychological well-being; race difference were also evaluated. The findings reveal that older people with a strong sense of God-mediated control tend to have greater life satisfaction, more optimism. a higher sense of self-worth, and lower levels of death anxiety. Pervasive race differences also emerged from the data. Specifically, older Blacks reported higher levels of God-mediated control than older Whites. In addition, the relationship between God-mediated control and all well-being outcomes measures was stronger for older Blacks than older Whites. (RH). |
