Over the past 20 years, social scientists have demonstrated that
many religious beliefs and practices are linked to mental health
and functioning. However, most of the existing empirical findings
and related theory in this area do not apply specifically to Jews.
JPSYCH was started by David H. Rosmarin in 2001 as an on-line
laboratory to directly investigate the role of Jewish religiousness
in psychological wellbeing. Since its inception, JPSYCH has enabled
nearly 3000 individuals from across the globe to participate in 10 empirical studies on Jewish spirituality/religion and psychological variables.
Data collected from JPSYCH studies has enabled researchers in the
United States, Canada, Europe and Israel to better understand the relationships between Judaism and mental health.
