Little is known about changes in religious coping and their relations to adolescents' and young adults' functioning. In 686 Italian youths, trajectories of religious coping were identified from age 16-17 years to age 22-23 years; cohorts of youths reported at 3 of the 4 assessments. Four trajectories of religious coping were identified: decreasing, low stable, high stable, and increasing. A decline in religious coping was associated with high levels of externalizing problems at age 16-17, whereas an increase in religious coping was associated with higher externalizing problems at ages 18-19 and 20-21 years and with relatively high involvement with deviant peers. High stable religious copers were high in prosocial behavior at three ages; low stable religious copers were higher than people undergoing change in their religious coping from mid-adolescence into early adulthood. These results can expand our current thinking about religious coping and adolescent adjustment.
关于宗教应对方式的变化及其与青少年和年轻人功能的关系，我们知之甚少。在 686 名意大利青少年中，从 16-17 岁到 22-23 岁，确定了宗教应对方式的轨迹；在 4 次评估中的 3 次报告了青少年群体。确定了四种宗教应对方式的轨迹：下降、低稳定、高稳定和增加。宗教应对方式的下降与 16-17 岁时的外化问题水平较高有关，而宗教应对方式的增加与 18-19 岁和 20-21 岁时的外化问题水平较高以及与偏差同伴的相对较高的参与度有关。高稳定的宗教应对者在三个年龄段都有较高的亲社会行为；低稳定的宗教应对者比从中年到成年早期宗教应对方式发生变化的人更高。这些结果可以扩展我们目前对宗教应对和青少年适应的思考。
