In this study, researchers examined this
relationship in 271 persons diagnosed with clinical depression, It was hypothesized that religious
belief and practices would be associated with lower depression and that this relationship would be
mediated by hopelessness. Religious belief, but not religious behavior, was a significant predictor
of lower levels of hopelessness and depression beyond demographic variables. Through the relation
of religious belief to lower levels of hopelessness, religious belief was indirectly related to less
depression. There was also a small direct positive association of belief with depression, pointing to
the complexity of the role belief plays for religious persons. Further study is needed for a better
understanding of different ways religion affects depressed persons.
