In order to comprehend the status quo of Muslim religious identification, thefactors and the different coping approaches to handle psychological stress for Muslimin disparate religious identification, this paper has employed two methods to detectMuslim groups in different areas in Yunnan Province, which are religious identityscale and measuring scale of caping strategy with Islamic faith. With theconsolidation and analysis to the collected data, this paper draws the followingconclusions:(1) On the relevant research, religious identity scale is in direct proportion tomeasuring scale of coping strategy with Islamic faith in the scores, that is, the higherreligious identification is, the higher the score of religious coping strategy is.(2) Inthe comparison between these two scales, religious identifications of Muslim indifferent areas have no obvious differences, which refers that Muslins in differentareas have no apparent diversities to religious identification; religious identificationsof Muslim of the different sexes have significant diversity. The score of female ishigher than male’s. Muslims with disparate degree of education are without obviousdifferences to religious identification. And degree of education is not the essentialcondition for affecting their religious identification.(3) Muslims with high religiousidentification are more inclined to two dimensions of coping strategies based on Allahand religious communities in coping strategy with stress. There are some differencesin the score of coping strategy based on Allah with disparate stress event; In the stressevent of separation or divorce, the scores won by Muslims with high and lowidentification have apparent diversity in identity scale.(4) It is meaningful in statisticsthat the score’s differences of religious identification group and stress event group inthe project of coping strategy based on Allah (P=0.03<0.05), and it deduces that thereare some obvious differences between religious identity group and stress event groupin the features of coping strategy based on Allah, that is to say, Muslims in variousreligious identification would adopt different coping strategy based on Allah to stressevent. Muslim with high religious identification is much more partial than Muslimwith low religious identification. While it is meaningless in statistics that the score’sdifferences of religious identity group in any project of coping strategy(P>0.05), andit deduces that there are no any apparent diversities of religious identity group in the characteristics of coping strategy. Furthermore, there are no any statisticalsignificances of the score’s differences in all project of coping strategy among diversestress events(P>0.05), therefore it infers that the features of coping strategy withdisparate stress events are without significant differences.
