Gender differences in the relationship between religiosity and substance use (lifetime prevalence and current use) were examined among high school students in Szeged, Hungary (N = 881). Experimenting with and consuming tobacco and alcoholic beverages were characteristic in the sample to a great extent, whereas marijuana use was not as frequent. Logistic regression analyses were employed to test how variables of religiosity, that is, denominational affiliation, religiosity, and religious attendance, were related to substance use of youth by gender. Our findings confirmed the importance of the protective role of religious involvement, particularly among females.
本研究在匈牙利塞格德的高中生群体中(N=881),调查了宗教信仰与物质使用(终身流行率和当前使用率)之间的性别差异。该样本中,尝试和使用烟草及酒精饮料的现象非常普遍,而大麻的使用则不那么频繁。本研究采用逻辑回归分析,检验宗教信仰变量(即教派隶属、宗教信仰和宗教参与)如何通过性别与青少年物质使用相关。研究结果证实了宗教参与的保护作用的重要性,特别是对女性而言。
