ABSTRACT
Although there have been numerous studies investigating the relationship between religiosity and mental health, research related to religiosity through the Internet and mental health outcomes during the pandemic is still scarce. This study aimed to explore the relationships among online religious activities and interactions of stress, anxiety, depression, and life satisfaction during the COVID-19 pandemic in Korea. The results showed that Korean males’ religious activities and interactions were important predictors of their mental health and life satisfaction levels, however, the same was not observed for Korean females. The findings suggest implications for future research to improve mental health and facilitate happiness in Korean men and women.
