"This study explores the relationship between gender, religion, and mental health. Questionnaires were completed by university students of varying denomination, gender, and religiosity. It was found that those students with high religious involvement had more positive scores on mental health, which was divided into the variables: nondepression, emotional maturity, and self-esteem. It was also determined that men scored more positively on the measures than did women. In addition, LDS women tended to show more emotional maturity than those in the other denominations."
