The current investigation examined the role of religion in the experiences of single Polish adults and their mental health. Study 1 employed semistructured interviews, while Study 2 involved two quantitative assessments separated by a 1-month interval. Study 1 (N = 4) identified seven themes related to religion in the context of singlehood. Study 2 (N = 661; M = 32.69, SD = 6.90) revealed that negative religious coping mediated the links between singlehood boundary ambiguity, and anxiety, depression, and emotional and psychological well-being. A follow-up study (N = 319) showed that higher singlehood boundary ambiguity was related to higher negative religious coping, which was related to greater increases in later anxiety and depression. Singlehood boundary ambiguity appears to prompt single people to exhibit negative religious coping, which negatively affects their positive and negative mental health outcomes concurrently and amplifies the changes in their anxiety and depression over time.
