Effect of Church Attendance during Youth on Future Psychological Capital Endowments: the US Evidence Education Economics published online (7 July 2021): DOI: 10.1080/09645292.2021.1951172. Also: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09645292.2021.1951172 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Group Keyword(s): Earnings; Positive Affect (see Happiness/Optimism); Propensity Scores; Psychological Effects; Religious Influences; Self-Esteem Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using US data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and following propensity score matching analysis, the study demonstrates that church attendance during youth has significant positive effects on an individual's psychological capital endowments in the form of self-esteem, positive attitude and self-satisfaction during adulthood. Since a higher level of psychological capital is associated with better economic performance, the study further demonstrates that church attendance during earlier years of life affects an individual's future earnings indirectly through its direct effects on his/her psychological capital endowments. The study offers an important policy proposal and recommends further research for its validation. |
