Religion is a multidimensional structure. Former studies examined only one or a few dimensions of the religion and the study that has looked comprehensively to the topic was not found. Considering this feature, the impact of religion on the emotional-behavioral health of adolescents should be investigated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of religiosity on the emotional-behavioral health of adolescents. Data were collected using religiosity, trauma resilience scale, emotional abuse, and Achenbach's Youth Self Report questionnaires in a 511-person sample of adolescents (318 girls and 193 boys). The results showed that various dimensions of religiosity are positively correlated with emotional-behavioral health of adolescents. A positive correlation was found between individual and familial factors with emotional-behavioral health of adolescents. Religiosity directly affects the emotional-behavioral health of adolescents. It also indirectly affects the emotional-behavioral health of adolescents through familial and individual factors. These findings show the important role of individual and familial factors in the impact of religiosity on the emotional-behavioral health of adolescents.
宗教是一个多维度的结构。以前的研究只考察了宗教的一个或几个维度，而没有找到全面研究该主题的研究。考虑到这一特点，应该调查宗教对青少年情绪-行为健康的影响。本研究旨在评估宗教信仰对青少年情绪-行为健康的影响。在 511 名青少年（318 名女孩和 193 名男孩）样本中，使用宗教信仰、创伤弹性量表、情绪虐待和 Achenbach 青少年自我报告问卷收集数据。结果表明，宗教信仰的各个维度与青少年的情绪-行为健康呈正相关。个体和家庭因素与青少年的情绪-行为健康呈正相关。宗教信仰直接影响青少年的情绪-行为健康。它还通过家庭和个人因素间接地影响青少年的情绪-行为健康。这些发现表明，个体和家庭因素在宗教信仰对青少年情绪-行为健康的影响中起着重要作用。
