Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop and test a conceptual model that assesses the following theoretical linkages: (1) people who go to church more often tend to receive more spiritual support from fellow church members (i.e., encouragement to adopt religious teachings and principles); (2) individuals who get more frequent spiritual support are more likely to be humble; and (3) people with greater humility tend to rate their health more favorably. The data come from the third wave of a nationwide longitudinal survey of older adults. The data provide support for each of the conceptual linkages identified above.

The substantive analyses in this study are based on Wave 3 survey measures. The health measure that is used in these analyses consists of three items. The independent variables that are used in the sample attrition analyses come from the Wave 1 survey. However, only two of the health indicators were administered at Wave 1 (i.e., the item on satisfaction with health was not administered at Wave 1). Even so, the use of the two-item indicator in the attrition analysis should provide some insight into the influence of health on the loss of subjects over time.
