Religiosity and Subjective Well-being in the Arab Context

By: Ahmed M. Abdel-Khalek

Throughout the history of humanity, religion has played an important role as one of the most powerful forces of life, death, health and disease. In psychology, interest in the study of religion dates back around one and a half centuries. This interest has been driven, in large part, by the findings of a positive relationship between religiosity and physical and mental health, subjective well-being, happiness and longevity. Furthermore, religiosity is now a subject in many disciplines such as medicine, psychiatry, sociology, anthropology, education, epidemiology, gerontology, social work, and psychotherapy. This book brings together in one volume the scattered studies of religiosity and subjective well-being carried out in different Arab, mainly Muslim, countries. The vast majority of these articles are empirical research papers, and are classified into six sections: namely, Islam and Mental Health; Psychometric Measures; Religiosity, Health and Happiness; Religiosity, Quality of Life and Subjective Well-Being; Religiosity and Personality; and Religiosity, Subjective Well-Being and Psychopathology.

Arabic Psychological Tests and Their English Versions

By: Ahmed M. Abdel-Khalek

Measurement is an important concern for the progress of psychology, both as a basic science and as a field of application. The development of psychological research and practice would not be possible without sound assessment and measuring procedures. This book presents a collection of personality and psychopathology scales, developed originally in Arabic and translated into English, since self-reports and questionnaires play a prominent role in psychological research and practice, as they are simple and cost less than other methods of assessment. Furthermore, these scales are suitable in surveys and epidemiological studies with large samples. This book will be useful in different disciplines such as psychology, psychiatry, epidemiology, gerontology, social work, and social sciences.
