Journal of Sakarya University Faculty of Theology was written by ____ and Said Sami, and I took a section of this journal and used the study as evidence. Throughout this section, there was a study done by an unknown research team (assumed to be associated with the authors), and it had over 10 participants who were diagnosed with PTSD. They asked religious related questions to see how during a traumatic time for them affected them. The article is #26 and was last updated in 2024. The article is based in Turkey, and there is little information on publishing because of the small section being used from a Turkish research book.

The intentions the author had with writing this piece were to examine the participants and their relationships with God (religion) after the Earthquake that had taken the lives of many. The author chose the formatting of charts, showing a P(#) next to everything that was said in the study, and overall showed how many participants related to each other and many had very similar responses. The intended audience is people who are most likely researching as well, and overall, reading the charts and understanding the reasons for the study. The document overall explains what religious coping is and how it affects humans. The author goes into rituals with religion and how they affect people the hardest when dealing with loss/mourning. There is an entire section about what trauma means, and how there can be growth from it with different coping mechanisms, and then it goes into religion as one.

This study was conducted in 2023, and overall has the most up-to-date research and no restrictions as you would if made any earlier. The author gives a neutral opinion about the positive and negative effects of religious coping, but shows an informational point of view. The only slightly controversial idea in this study is religion, and the author found a way to show religion without disrespecting either side of such. There was a loss before this study, and that was the main reason it was conducted.

The part of this article we don't get much information on is what the periods were exactly, besides the earthquake happening in early 2023? The content of the piece seems reasonably true because of the masses of evidence given after the study. The time period of this study matches up with common day knowledge, and overall the author covered every bit of the study with definitions before, then explanations after.

'Religious Coping Is Differentially Associated with Physiological and
Subjective Distress Indicators: Comparing Cortisol and Self-Report Patterns" was written by Alison M. Haney and Sean P. Lane. This article consists of studies along with information based on cortisol and subjective stress, and overall, the mental toll life takes when dealing with trauma. The article was last updated in October 2023 and was written in September 2022.

This document exists because the study that had been done showed that religious coping improves mental health and overall physical health as well. This article intends to share how the participants' lives had changed for the better, and life became lighter since going into religion. I believe the intended audience is people who are researching and following charts and statistics. The article goes over the participants of different races and genders, and proves how, as a whole religion, it can change a person's mentality.

The author comes off neutral, but is fighting to show how religion can positively affect someone. The timeline of this piece is fairly recent and lines up with modern research. The only controversial show is speaking of religion, and the author remains completely neutral throughout the article.

We do not know if there is any part of the study being left out, but there are only positive results from the tests. We are unable to see the negative side of the story, but I don't believe it was purposely unaddressed. I believe the author was using the study to only show positive outcomes, not negative.

"Negative Spiritual Beliefs Can Sabotage Your Well-Being" was written by Christopher Bergland and was posted in late 2015. The article counts as a secondary source, referencing a college book article multiple times throughout.

This document was made for people to read, since its a public website and can even be considered a daily "news" source (not politically based, just stories). I believe the author wrote this to give an educated opinion on a topic. The document goes over why the author believes religious coping can affect the mind of people very negatively, and overall is passionate about that.

We can tell the author has came from a background of religion (mentions it). Even being written in 2015, I would assume it was written in the past year or two. The author seems to hold a stronger bias towards the negative, and hardly addresses the positive sides. The article can come off slightly contreversial, but any strong opinions are.

We aren't shown the positive side, and it is hard to verify the truth about this piece. There is negative affects from certain actions of course, but there is no verification of positive, which leads to the source being extremely opinionated. I believe the authors past situations leads them to leaving out certain ideas.

"Religious/Spiritual Coping, Emotion Regulation, Psychological Well-Being, and Life Satisfaction among University Students" was written by Lídia Graça and Tânia Brandão and was published in early 2024. This article seems to be a secondary source, referencing a study.

The intended audience is researchers and anyone who is interested in reading about the ideas taken from a study. The article goes over how individuals use religious coping mechanisms and how they use them to handle stress within their lives. I believe the author intended for this article to show the inside of peoples minds and how they use religion to alleviate their states of mind.

We can tell the author doesn't show a bias, and is neutral when it comes to a bit of a contreversial topic. The time period aligns with the current research, and aligns with other articles written about the same topic.,

The author shows no bias, but there is no confirmation of a "other side" not being shown. The article is confirmed to be true, since again its a company article and they use a study to reference their ideas.

"The Prevalence of Religious Coping Among Persons With Persistent Mental Illness" was written by Leslie Tepper, Ph.D., Steven A. Rogers, M.A., Esther M. Coleman, Ph.D., and H. Newton Malony, Ph.D. and was published in early 2001. The article proves to be a secondary source, referencing a study throughout the discussion.

This document exists because it shows us multiple examples from a study on how people with mental illness use religion as a form of coping. The intended audience is most likely other researchers and anyone who is reading up on studies. The article discusses how religious practices play a bigger role in people's lives than they actually think. The author shows their explanations to the evidence given (study).

The author shows no bias throughout this piece and remains completely neutral. The topic overall is completely controversial and focuses on mental health and religion and the author explains this well without picking a side.

The author holds no bias, and there is no confirmation if there is any evidence sticking out that wasn't shared. The website of this article is based off a psychology book, and this is a chapter that fits my research.

"Religion and Schizophrenia" was written by the Wikipedia team, and overall is a secondary source. The publishing date is unknown, and there are no updates given.

This document exists to show the effects religion can have when dealing with someone having schizophrenia, specifically. Overall the intentions of this article is to share knowledge and let it be open for anyone to read.

The author(s) show no biases, but there is full evidence from both sides given. The time period of this piece is not specific, but can be based on up to information from recent studies.

The author holds no bias, but the security of this article being fully true is unknown. Wikipedia can have anyone view/edit the articles, so I plan to use this article less than others. We don't know if there is any other edits to the article that is proven false.

This article is a secondary source, speaks frequently about a specific person and theories. "The Meaning of Life and Religious Coping in the Fight
Against Cancer: A Study with Oncology Patients in Braziln Light of Viktor Frankl’s Theory" was written by authors from Springer Science and Business Media. 2023

This article was written to show the meaning of life and how this can be interpreted from different views, and it shows a religious sense as well. There are 19 participants. The intended audience is most likely researchers, and the formatting of the article is based on a study (ie charts, statistics). The document Viktor Frankl’s views and outlook on life, and how his studies apply to how many people feel internally. Overall the article is more philosophy-based rather then religion and the participants aren't based off only a specific illness.

The author speaks very highly of Viktor Frankl’s idealogies, and shows how this can apply to religion. The author doesn't show a bias, but throughout the entire artlcle there is no bias to be taken. The author shows a wide range perspective, since the study was very open and didn't stick a specific ideas (besides religion). While being written in 2023 the author's timelines add up with current research.

Since this article is study based, there is no room to see if theres anything specific being left out. We can verify the content of this piece because the study has been conducted by an actual company and journaling workforce.
