Adopting a teleological approach, this study investigates how beliefs in genetic determinism, intentional spirituality, and religious tendencies are associated with family health history (FHH) communication among European American, Chinese, and Korean college students. The results indicate that intentional spirituality was negatively associated with beliefs in genetic determinism and FHH communication, while beliefs in genetic determinism were positively associated with FHH communication. Intrinsic and extrinsic religiosity and paranormal beliefs showed interesting dynamics with beliefs in genetic determinism and FHH communication. An interaction effect regarding cultural identity, beliefs in genetic determinism, and FHH communication was likewise found. The findings have meaningful implications for future studies about religious influences on health behaviors.
本研究采用目的论方法，调查了遗传决定论信念、有意灵性和宗教倾向与欧美、中国和韩国大学生的家族健康史（FHH）沟通之间的关联。结果表明，有意灵性与遗传决定论信念及FHH沟通呈负相关，而遗传决定论信念与FHH沟通呈正相关。内在和外在宗教信仰及超自然信念在遗传决定论信念和FHH沟通方面呈现出有趣的动态关系。同样发现了文化认同、遗传决定论信念和FHH沟通之间的交互作用。这些发现对未来关于宗教对健康行为影响的研究具有重要意义。
