Abstract
In this study, the Religious Problem-solving Scale (Pargament et al. 1988) was administered to 121 college students to investigate the relationship of three coping styles to self-reported guilt. Results indicated that the self-directing style (when a person relies on his/her own resources to solve life's problems) correlated negatively with the Mosher Sex Guilt, Hostility Guilt, and Morality-Conscience Guilt Scales, with the McConahay and Hough Guilt-oriented Scales, and with the Sin-Grace Scale. Both the collaborative style (when a person works with God) and the deferring style (when a person submits to God) showed significant positive correlations with the measures of guilt as well as with measures of religious interest and participation.
