本研究探讨了前NFL球员的宗教服务出席率，社会关系和健康之间的关系，这是一个具有相对较高宗教出席率的人群，他们忍受着对身体要求很高的职业。研究表明，经常参加宗教服务的人往往身体健康，部分原因是通过宗教参与形成的社会关系。我们分析了1029名前NFL球员的样本。与以前的研究一致，二元和多元OLS回归模型表明，经常参加宗教活动的人在统计学上有更好的自我评价健康。然而，这种关系受到社会关系的调节。在社会关系指数上得分较低的受访者表现出频繁参加宗教活动与健康之间的显著关系;在社会关系指数上得分较高的受访者表现出频繁参加宗教活动与健康之间没有关系。未来的研究应该研究参加宗教活动的好处如何根据社会关系的强度而变化。
This study explores the relationship between religious service attendance, social ties, and health among former NFL players, a population with relatively high levels of religious attendance who endure physically demanding occupations. Research shows that frequent religious service attenders tend to have better health, partly because of social connections formed through religious involvement. We analyzed a sample of 1029 former NFL players. Consistent with previous research, bivariate and multivariate OLS regression models show that frequent religious attenders have statistically significantly better self-rated health. However, this relationship is moderated by social ties. Respondents who scored lower on the social ties index exhibited a stronger significant relationship between frequent religious attendance and health; those scoring higher on the social ties index exhibited no relationship between frequent attendance and health. Future research should examine how benefits of religious attendance vary depending upon strength of social relationships.
