This study aimed to estimate associations between adolescents' religiosity and their motivation to start and stop smoking. A school survey was carried out in Midwestern Brazil. Participants were never-smokers (n = 2073) and smokers (n = 116) aged 13-19 who answered a questionnaire. Religiosity was measured with the Duke Religion Index, and motivation with questions based on the Prime Theory of Motivation. Organizational, non-organizational, and intrinsic religiosity were associated with motivation to start smoking among never-smokers. Intrinsic religiosity was associated with smokers' motivation to quit. Findings indicate the protective role of religiosity in the motivational system that prompts smoking initiation and cessation during adolescence.
本研究旨在评估青少年的宗教信仰与开始和停止吸烟的动机之间的关联。在巴西中西部进行了一项学校调查。参与者为年龄在 13-19 岁的从未吸烟者（n=2073）和吸烟者（n=116），他们回答了一份问卷。宗教信仰用杜克宗教指数测量，动机用基于动机的主要理论的问题来测量。组织宗教、非组织宗教和内在宗教与从未吸烟者开始吸烟的动机有关。内在宗教与吸烟者戒烟的动机有关。研究结果表明，宗教信仰在促使青少年开始和停止吸烟的动机系统中具有保护作用。
