Petts’ work featured in The Lantern

A recent former OSU graduate student in sociology, Richard Petts, and his study on religion and depression, made front-page news in OSU’s daily paper. He conducted the study with Anne Jolliff when they were both doctoral students at Ohio State. Jolliff is now a research coordinator at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. Their study suggests that for some minorities, high religious involvement may contribute to depressive symptoms, which differs from previous studies that suggest that religion can be a buffer from despair. Professor Petts can be reached at his new job placement in the Department of Sociology at Ball State University.
