BACKGROUND
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, research findings pointed towards an alleviating effect of religion on depressive symptoms and loneliness. However, it is not clear whether such a relationship persisted when worships were mostly held as online events. Consequently, this study investigates the link between religion-related internet utilization, particularly for online worships, depressive symptoms, and loneliness during the lockdown period.
METHODS
Data were derived from a representative sample of German individuals aged 40 years and above, which was conducted in June and July 2020. Utilization of internet for religious purposes was treated as a dichotomous variable.
RESULTS
Regarding bivariate analysis, individuals that used the internet for religious purposes were significantly older, and more likely to be female or to live in an urban setting. Furthermore, they had significantly more severe depressive symptoms. According to multiple linear regression, internet usage for religious purposes was both associated with more depressive symptoms, R² = .30, F(11, 3367) = 113.01, ß = 0.39, p = .050, and higher loneliness levels, R² = .09, F(11, 3367) = 25.75, ß = 2.24, p = .025.
CONCLUSIONS
It seems possible that the alleviating effect of religion on depressive symptoms and loneliness did not hold during the COVID-19 pandemic, which may imply that online worships are not perfect replacements for traditional worships in terms of their social and health benefits.
背景
在 COVID-19 大流行之前，研究结果表明宗教对抑郁症状和孤独感有缓解作用。然而，当礼拜大多以在线活动的形式举行时，这种关系是否仍然存在尚不清楚。因此，本研究调查了宗教相关的互联网使用（特别是在线礼拜）与封锁期间抑郁症状和孤独感之间的关系。
方法
数据来自于 2020 年 6 月至 7 月对德国 40 岁及以上人群进行的代表性抽样调查。将互联网用于宗教目的视为二分变量。
结果
在双变量分析中，使用互联网进行宗教活动的个体年龄较大，更有可能是女性或居住在城市地区。此外，他们的抑郁症状明显更为严重。根据多元线性回归分析，互联网用于宗教目的与更严重的抑郁症状相关（R²=0.30，F(11, 3367)=113.01，β=0.39，p=0.050），与更高的孤独感水平相关（R²=0.09，F(11, 3367)=25.75，β=2.24，p=0.025）。
结论
似乎在 COVID-19 大流行期间，宗教对抑郁症状和孤独感的缓解作用并不存在，这可能意味着在线礼拜在社交和健康方面的益处并不能完全替代传统礼拜。
