Resumen

Introducción: se han realizado muchas investigaciones sobre la religiosidad y las creencias religiosas pueden desempeñar un papel importante en la salud mental y la satisfacción con la vida. Objetivo: Nuestro objetivo es analizar la posible asociación entre la religiosidad, la satisfacción con la vida y la salud mental. Método: Evaluamos la religiosidad, la satisfacción con la vida y la salud mental de 538 adultos brasileños. También investigamos las personalidades y el nivel socioeconómico de los participantes con medidas complementarias. Resultados: Encontramos correlaciones significativas entre la religiosidad organizada y no organizada con la satisfacción con la vida y la salud mental. La religiosidad intrínseca se relacionó significativamente con la satisfacción con la vida, pero no con la salud mental. Conclusión: Las personas con religiosidad más organizada y no organizada podrían estar más satisfechas con la vida y tener mejor salud mental independientemente de la personalidad y nivel socioeconómico.
