Belief In Satan, Hell Linked To Greater Stress​

In a nutshell​

  • Belief in traditional supernatural forces, like the devil, hell, and witchcraft, is linked to higher stress levels and weaker coping skills, according to a large-scale study of over 3,000 UK adults.
  • Only these traditional beliefs showed negative mental health impacts, beliefs in psychic abilities or precognition (New Age beliefs) had no significant connection to stress or coping.
  • Researchers suggest traditional paranormal beliefs may reflect a fear of external, uncontrollable forces, potentially leading to avoidant coping styles that worsen stress rather than relieve it.
