title: [Impact of attachment to God and religious coping on life satisfaction].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Effects of religiosity on satisfaction with life, mental and physical health are highly favored topics of psychology. At the same time, less attention has been directed to how individual differences in religiosity affect believers' satisfaction with life.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between attachment to God, religious coping and satisfaction with life.
  
  
  METHODS
  A group of Roman Catholics (n = 94; 49 women and 45 men; age, 30.8±6.2 years) filled in our the survey package. The survey package contained the following measures: Attachment to God Inventory, Brief Religious Coping Scale, and Satisfaction with Life Scale.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Negative religious coping and anxious attachment to God predicted lower satisfaction with life, even if demographic variables were controlled for.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  These results indicate that negative image of God is an important predictor of low satisfaction with life, which in turn can have negative impact on believers' mental and physical health. Orv. Hetil., 154(46), 1843-1847.
