520 |a The experience of worry is associated with a host of negative outcomes. This study analyzes the role of religion and out-group bias in predicting worries or fears often associated with an "other." Using 2014 data from the Chapman Survey of American Fears, we examine the predictors of fear of personal violence, worries about a terrorist attack, and concerns that immigrants bring disease to the United States. Some religious measures are predictive of fears of personal violence and terrorism. Certain out-group bias measures are predictive of fear of terrorism and concerns about disease-carrying immigrants. Religion can exacerbate and reduce worries, as can sentiments about an "other."
