The aim was to examine the effects of spirituality on recent cigarette and alcohol use, intentions to use cigarette and alcohol, and perceived risks of cigarette/alcohol use in a sample of Russian adolescents.
Cross-sectional data were obtained from 362 10th graders from Ufa, Russia.
Adolescents scoring higher on spirituality were significantly more likely to report lower levels of intentions to use cigarettes or alcohol. However, spirituality was not associated with recent cigarette/alcohol use or perceived risks. Analyzed separately for ethnic Russians and non-Russians, the relationship between spirituality and intentions were significant only among ethnic non-Russians.
Our data suggests that the protective effects of spirituality on substance use may not be universal and may depend on subjects' national, ethnic, or religious background.
本研究旨在探讨精神性对俄罗斯青少年样本中近期吸烟和饮酒行为、吸烟和饮酒意图以及对吸烟/饮酒感知风险的影响。
从俄罗斯乌法市的362名十年级学生中获取横断面数据。
精神性得分较高的青少年报告较低吸烟或饮酒意图的可能性显著更高。然而,精神性与近期吸烟/饮酒行为或感知风险无关。按俄罗斯族和非俄罗斯族分别分析,精神性与意图之间的关系仅在非俄罗斯族中显著。
我们的数据表明,精神性对物质使用的保护作用可能并非普遍存在,可能取决于受试者的国家、种族或宗教背景。
