| 520 | |a It has been argued that church attendance benefits mental health by buffering against stress. However, underlying mechanisms are debated and longitudinal evidence is scarce. We use eight years of longitudinal population-representative data from New Zealand to test whether consistent church attendance translates into sustained reductions in distress. We also investigate whether church attendance disrupts dynamic bi-directional relationships between the personality trait of Neuroticism and distress: relationships such as at least temporary increases in Neuroticism following escalations in distress. We compare mental distress trajectories and dynamic effects across three groups of religious people (3,535 non-attenders at church, 1,656 sporadic attenders, and 2,393 consistent attenders), controlling for the effects of gender, age, relative deprivation, and perceived physical health. We observe a more adaptive (downward) mental distress trajectory among consistent attenders as compared to non-attenders, although consistent attenders were also found to have higher baseline levels of mental distress. Among sporadic attenders, we observe elevated baseline distress levels without a decrease in mental distress over time, suggesting that the differences in the trajectories of consistent attenders and non-attenders cannot be explained solely by regression to the mean. Church attendance consistency did not modulate dynamic effects. The findings point to a role for church attendance in buffering stress specifically among people in difficult (distressing) circumstances. | ||
