Age differences in level of religious participation were examined using data from the National Survey of Black Americans (N = 2107). Seven indicators of organizational, nonorganizational, and attitudinal forms of religious involvement were examined. For women, age was positively associated with each of the religiosity measures; among men, requests for prayer from others was the only indicator for which age was not a significant predictor. The findings are discussed in relation to previous work on age and religious participation.
利用美国黑人全国调查（N = 2107）的数据，研究了宗教参与程度的年龄差异。研究了宗教参与的组织形式、非组织形式和态度形式的七个指标。对于女性，年龄与每种宗教信仰衡量指标呈正相关；在男性中，他人祈祷的请求是唯一一个年龄不是显著预测因素的指标。结合先前关于年龄与宗教参与的研究成果对这些发现进行了讨论。
