Welfare from Religious and Psychological Viewpoints
Abstract:
The present paper, a section of the book entitled An Introduction to Positive Psychology, investigates the relation between religion and spirituality on the one hand and psychological welfare on the other. Spirituality refers to human's willingness for quest of the meaning of life through transcending his soul or through a relationship to something higher and greater than human himself. Religion is the focus of attention in this discussion, since it points at some form of spiritual quest and is related to formal and special customs and manners. In the writer's view, however, spirituality is not necessarily dependent on a religious context, but the relation between piety and mental-physical health may be related to factors which are, in their turn, resulted from piety. In the present paper, the researches related to the first six groups of these factors have been presented, of which the most important being origination of a sense of meaningfulness and purpose in life through piety. The most common way of achieving meaningfulness in life are studied here; among them are religious and spiritual experiences.
چکیده و کلیدواژه فارسی (Persian)
Title :بهزیستی از دیدگاه دین و روان‌شناسی
Abstract:
نوشته حاضر، که بخشی از کتاب مقدمه ای بر روان شناسی مثبت است، به بررسی رابطه دین و معنویت با بهزیستی روان شناختی می پردازد. معنویت به تمایل انسان برای جست وجوی معنای زندگی از طریق تعالی نفس یا از طریق نیاز به ارتباط با چیزی بزرگترو عالی تر ازخود انسان، اشاره دارد. از آنجا که دین به شکلی از جست وجوی معنوی اشاره دارد و با آداب و سنن رسمی و ویژه مرتبط است، در کانون این بحث قرار می گیرد. البته، از منظر نویسنده، معنویت لزوماً به بافتی دینی وابسته نیست، اما ارتباط دینداری با سلامت روانی و جسمی ممکن است به علل و عواملی مرتبط باشد که این عوامل، خود نتیجه دینداری هستند و در مقاله حاضر پژوهش های مرتبط با شش گروه از این عوامل ارائه شده است که مهم ترین آنها پدیدایی احساس معنی و هدف در زندگی توسط دین داری می باشد، شایع ترین راه های رسیدن به معنی بیشتر در زندگی بررسی و تجارب دینی و معنوی از جمله این راه ها هستند.
