Positive emotions have a positive impact on individuals' psychological, social, and biological resources, with religious or spiritual individuals placing more importance on and frequently experiencing such emotions. These emotions are also prevalent in religious and spiritual practices, with individual differences affecting the level of positive emotions derived from engaging in religious practices.
Positive emotions feel good and build psychological, social, and biological resources (Broaden-and-Build Theory, Fredrickson, 1998, 2013). People who identify as religious or spiritual value them and report feeling them frequently. They are also prevalent in religious and spiritual practices, such as prayer, meditation, and collective worship. We review the literature on the reciprocal relationship between positive emotions and religion/spirituality and identify individual differences predicting greater positive emotions derived from engaging in religious practices. We suggest that beyond building religious/spiritual people's well-being, positive emotions play a role in sustaining otherwise costly religious behaviors. We integrate our review in the proposed Upward Spiral Theory of Sustained Religious Practice.
