Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Delinquency/Gang Activity; Education; Family Process Measures; Gender Differences; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Parental Influences; Parenting Skills/Styles; Religion; Religious Influences; Substance Use This study examined the relative influence of religiousness on a sub-sample of adolescents (N = 1911) from a nationally representative sample of youth. Outcome measures included delinquency, substance abuse, physical health, mental health, and education. The study controlled for family processes and peer influences, as well as a variety of sociodemographic factors. Parent religiosity and family processes, especially parental styles, are found to influence girls more so than boys, while exposure to peer influences affects both boys and girls on all outcome measures except delinquency. Findings highlight gender related similarities and differences that should be taken into account when providing interventions to adolescents and their families. |
