摘要：The aim of this study was to explore the mediating role of coping strategies in the relationship between bent towards religion and psychiatric indicators of mental health. 390 subjects with the age ranging from 50-90 years participated in the study. Results indicated that bent towards religion significantly predicted mental health. Except proactive coping, the remaining six coping strategies (preventive, reflective, strategic, emotional support seeking, instrumental support seeking and avoidance coping) significantly mediated the relationship between bent towards religion and psychiatric indicators of mental health.
