Not much is known about religiosity's protective role against health risk behaviour in the South African context. As such, the study investigated the relationship between intrinsic religiosity and health risk behaviours in a sample of Black university students (N = 335). Two-way ANOVA showed that there were intrinsic religiosity main effects for alcohol use and sexual behaviour, gender and intrinsic religiosity main effects on tobacco and marijuana use, and gender main effects and gender and intrinsic religiosity interaction effects for engagement in physical activity. Thus, religiosity is an inner resource available to avert engagement in varied health risk behaviours.
在南非背景下，关于宗教虔诚对健康风险行为的保护作用，人们了解得并不多。因此，本研究调查了黑人大学生样本（N = 335）中内在宗教虔诚与健康风险行为之间的关系。双向方差分析表明，在饮酒和性行为方面存在内在宗教虔诚主效应，在烟草和大麻使用方面存在性别和内在宗教虔诚主效应，在参与体育活动方面存在性别主效应以及性别与内在宗教虔诚的交互效应。因此，宗教虔诚是一种可用于避免参与各种健康风险行为的内在资源。
