Let Sunshine Fill Your Soul
by NA This article in the NYTimes (registration required) details how Mormon women are less depressed than their gentile counterparts. Thanks to Sumer Thurston-Evans for finding it! The study, performed by a BYU sociologist, may indicate (in her words) "a reflection of the higher standards that are espoused'' by the Church. So all ye women-folk, are you less depressed because of your Church membership?
Oh, and yes, the study also found that Mormon women "do score lower on measures of self-esteem." I guess that's because we emphasize Faith, Knowledge, Choice and Accountability, Good Works and Integrity higher than Divine Nature and Individual Worth. My wife's remarks: "I'm feeling happy with my low self-esteem."
