Identifier	Thesis 1496
Author	Lewis, Patricia L
Title	Faith : a variable of locus of control and process orientation / Patricia L. Lewis
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	1997
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	There is one thing we all have in common. Regardless of our gender, age, race, religion or socioeconomic status, we, as human beings, all experience the pain and suffering associated with life. This is an unavoidable, inevitable fact. We suffer in many ways, from many things: physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and financially. The stressors of life are endless and often unpredictable which leaves us vulnerable to the ill effects of such. How do we arm ourselves, equip ourselves, prepare ourselves to manage life What can we do to obtain, regain or maintain a satisfying, healthy, happy lifestyle? It is the premise of this paper that due to our spiritual nature, the only thorough, consistent and effective way to manage life's stress and challenges is to relinquish control of our lives back to our creator God by means of faith. True faith is not merely belief in God, but trust in God. Where there is faith and t rust there is hope. Hope is the mitigating variable between despair and healing. One with a sense of hope will attempt to affect a change because the belief exists there is a way to alter the current aversive condition. This paper is organized in the following manner to present the issues and to substantiate the above premise. Part one--chapters one through four--is devoted to the investigation of healing human suffering from a psychological standpoint. Chapter One is a brief introduction to and overview of the theory and research leading to the conclusion that faith is the ultimate variable in promoting a sense of hope and peace amidst the challenges we inevitable face in life. Chapter Two is a discussion of our basic human needs and how they relate to stress and conflict in our lives. Chapter Three deals with perceptions of stress and the negative symptomology resulting from unmet needs. Chapter Four, The Concept of Control, examines specific approaches aimed at improving the quality of life for individuals and reducing stress and the negative effects of such. Chapter Five is the conclusion to part I. Part II begins with Chapter Six: Spirituality. This chapter introduces the importance of considering humankind's spiritual nature in relation to our needs. Chapter Seven discusses the importance of faith in relation to hope. Chapter Eight is the conclusion that ties together the entire discussion from the psychological to the spiritual and substantiates the initial premise.
