Research suggests that religious activity and spiritual experiences are associated with well-being among emerging adults. This research is primarily evaluated on the between-person level, leaving within-person effects largely unexplored. We examined relations between religious activity and spiritual experiences and their relation to life satisfaction and alcohol use among 383 college students at a moderately large university in the southwest USA. Participants completed daily reports of study measures. Multilevel regression indicated that daily religious activities and spiritual experiences were directly, and indirectly through moral emotions, associated with satisfaction with life. Results suggest that students who engage in regular religious activity and spiritual experience see a concomitant increase in life satisfaction.
研究表明,宗教活动和精神体验与成年早期人群的幸福感有关。这项研究主要在个体间水平上进行评估,而个体内效应在很大程度上仍未得到探索。我们在美国西南部的一所中等规模的大学中,对 383 名大学生进行了研究,考察了宗教活动和精神体验与生活满意度和饮酒之间的关系。参与者完成了研究措施的日常报告。多层次回归表明,日常宗教活动和精神体验与生活满意度直接相关,通过道德情感间接相关。结果表明,定期参加宗教活动和精神体验的学生的生活满意度会相应提高。
