Summary/Abstract: There is a lot of evidence about gender differences in religious orientation, constructive thinking and perceived stress. Females are considered more religious than men, prone to different constructive and non-constructive thinking style and coping and perceive more stress. There is no research exploring gender differences in the relationship between religious orientation, constructive thinking and perceived stress in religious groups. The present paper tested these variables on a sample of Bulgarian religious individuals and found gender differences in predictors of perceived stress – Religiosity as end, Religiosity as quest, Emotional coping, and Personal Superstitious Beliefs.
