What do you mean by socio religious activities​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.1 The Role of Religious Activity

Religious activity has been a prominent topic in previous research. Studies have shown that people who engage into devotional activities experience less fear of death (Musick et al. 1998). Trying to explain this relationship, some authors focus on processes of primary appraisal, emphasizing that looking forward to an afterlife that is better than the current situation makes religious people less likely to see their disease as harmful. Focusing on processes of secondary appraisal, others have suggested that feeling close to God is seen as a source of power and strength that can be used in times of trouble. According to Filipp (1999), when processing bad news, religious beliefs may enable people to construct an interpretative reality, i.e., to ascribe subjective meaning and to re-establish a better world to live in. From the perspective of the social cohesiveness hypothesis (Idler 1987) religion can benefit individuals by providing support from clergy or fellow church members. However, studies show that the effects of religious activity are not the same for African-Americans as for Whites. To account for this difference it has been argued that, because the former face greater discrimination and barriers to institutions and status, they must find alternative avenues to success and well-being, and that one such alternative avenue is the church (Hummer 1996). Proceeding from the assumption that church and religious activity serve a special place in the lives of African-Americans, religious activity should have a greater effect for them than for Whites
