Daily Measures of Religious/Spiritual Struggles: Relations to Depression, Anxiety, Satisfaction with Life, and Meaning

We examined associations between religious/spiritual (r/s) struggles and mental health in a daily diary study involving 316 undergraduates (1,980 daily reports over one week). Novel, daily measures of r/s struggles and traditional, one-time measures of r/s struggles predicted poorer mental health similarly, attesting to the predictive validity of daily measures.
