PROVO, Utah, Dec. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- While many public reports have found that religion has a profoundly positive impact on people's lives, a new report from the Wheatley Institute suggests that many of these studies often underestimate the full benefits of religion. The report entitled, "A Not-So-Good Faith Estimate: Why Many Studies Underestimate the Full Benefits of Religion," explores how active engagement in home-centered religious practices-in addition to regularly attending their religious services-leads to experiencing the greatest benefits to individual well-being and relationship outcomes.

Key Points: 
  • The report entitled, "A Not-So-Good Faith Estimate: Why Many Studies Underestimate the Full Benefits of Religion," explores how active engagement in home-centered religious practices-in addition to regularly attending their religious services-leads to experiencing the greatest benefits to individual well-being and relationship outcomes.
  • "Religious dosage matters," said Jason S. Carroll, associate director of the Wheatley Institute and co-author of the report.
  • The study highlights the deficiencies with the common practice in many public studies of measuring religiosity solely by levels of church attendance.
  • Many of the benefits of home-centered religious practices are even stronger in the United States than they are in other countries and are particularly strong for women.
