| Zusammenfassung: | While trust in God is a fundamental component of religious life, it has received little attention in the literature. The current study considers trust-based prayer expectancies and how these may influence life satisfaction in a longitudinal study of Christian older adults from the United States. We find that older adults with increasing trust in God over time as well as those with stable high levels of trust in God reported higher life satisfaction. The relationship between increasing trust in God and higher life satisfaction was stronger for Black older adults. We then discuss the implications of these findings. |
