The religious similarity of adolescents and their friends can arise from selection or influence. Prior studies were limited because of confounds that arose from the ethnic and religious heterogeneity of the samples and the use of cross-sectional designs. SIENA was used in this two-year longitudinal study of 825 Indonesian Muslim high school students (445 girls; mean age = 16.5 years) to assess peer selection and influence as these pertained to religiosity and religious coping. The analyses yielded significant influence but not selection effects for both religiosity and religious coping. This study is an important methodological advance over prior research and although limited by correlational data, nevertheless, provides evidence that adolescents influence their peers' religiousness.
青少年与其朋友在宗教信仰上的相似性可能源于选择或影响。先前的研究受到限制，原因是样本的种族和宗教多样性以及使用横断面设计所产生的混杂因素。本项为期两年的纵向研究调查了 825 名印度尼西亚穆斯林高中生（445 名女生；平均年龄 16.5 岁），使用 SIENA 评估了与宗教信仰和宗教应对有关的同伴选择和影响。分析结果显示，宗教信仰和宗教应对均存在显著的影响效应，但不存在选择效应。与先前的研究相比，这项研究在方法学上是一个重要的进步，尽管受到相关数据的限制，但仍为青少年影响同伴宗教信仰提供了证据。
