  • A pray a day keeps the doctor away!

  • Also apples and probably bingo.

  • Hey everyone, Laci Green here for DNews.

  • Prayer is an aged ritual and a nearly universal human behavior.

  • Nearly 90% of Americans pray regularly and about 60% pray at least once a day.

  • From a psychological perspective, is this a positive thing?

  • Religions often convey God as a sort of parent figure-which means, among psychology researchers, God is seen as an ultimate attachment of figure.

  • It's well established that our relationship with our parents can determine mental health outcomes

  • and researchers are finding that the nature of religious person's relationship with God may also determine mental health outcomes

  • In a new study on prayer at Baylor University, people who had a positive attachment to God will believe he'd be there for them to comfort and support them showed fewer symptoms of anxiety.

  • They has less irrational worry, stress, self-consciousness, and dread in social situations.

  • The researchers say God is seen as a form of emotional support that they can count on.

  • People who had an insecure attachment and weren't sure whether or not God would be there experienced more frequent symptoms of anxiety.

  • This builds on earlier research about prayer.

  • A study in the British Journal of Health and Psychology found that those who pray frequently have fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety than the general population.

  • The researchers believe this is because prayer can be used as a form of stress relief-an outlet for relieving fear, anger, and worry.

  • Critics fired back, however, claiming that studies have also found bingo contributes to better mental health.

  • The National Secular Society argues that the key to deep relaxation isn't the praying itself. It's having a community like a church that people can go to and feel a sense of togetherness.

  • To make things even more interesting, when we look at prayer in a secular context, or in the context of eastern religions,

  • it's actually quite a lot like meditations.

  • It's a moment of quiet, a chant, a self-affirmation, or a plea.

  • It's centering on a particular thought and seeking inner calm.

  • Unsurprisingly, studies on meditation, which I've talked about on DNews in the past, also find the same effects-that take you away from anxiety.

  • But in the meditation studies, the anxiety relief wasn't contingent on how the person felt about their deity.

  • So folks, what do you think about prayer? Has it ever helped you out?

  • Tell me about it down below and I'll see you next time on DNews.
