In the journal article Religion, self-regulation, and self-control: Associations, explanations, and implications, psychologists McCullough and Willoughby theorize that many of the positive links of religiousness with health and social behavior may be caused by religion's beneficial influences on self-control/self-regulation.[1][2] Furthermore, as noted above, a 2012 Queen's University study published in Psychological Science found that religion replenishes self-control.[3][4] Also, numerous studies indicate that those who engage in regular spiritual practices have lower mortality rates.[5][6]
