作为健康的一个社会决定因素，宗教信仰仍然没有得到很好的理解，尽管宗教活动在大多数社会中很普遍，宗教机构也很突出。本文介绍了宗教社会资本的工作测量方法，并初步探讨了宗教社会资本与社区社会资本和城市压力源的关系。宗教社会资本被定义为个人和团体通过其与宗教社区的社会联系而获得的社会资源。涵盖的领域包括群体成员资格、社会融合、价值观/规范、联系/搭桥信任以及社会支持。横截面数据来自一个方便的样本，104个居住在美国大城市单个城市社区的成年人，他们也提供了关于社区社会资本的信息，以及城市压力源的经历。结果表明，宗教社会资本是一个可以可靠测量的有效结构。在经常参加宗教仪式的人中，宗教社会资本的所有指标都较高，但桥接信任(来自不同宗教团体的人的信任)除外。宗教和社区社会资本水平之间也观察到了弱的、相反的关联。宗教社会资本水平与报告的较高的城市压力源水平相关，而社区社会资本水平与较低的城市压力源水平相关。样本中有相当大的比例与宗教传统无关，这些人更有可能是男性，年轻，受过更高的教育。社会资本是帮助阐明宗教对人口健康的影响的一个很有前途的结构。
As a social determinant of health, religiosity remains not well understood, despite the prevalence of religious activity and prominence of religious institutions in most societies. This paper introduces a working measure of Religious Social Capital and presents preliminary associations with neighborhood social capital and urban stressors. Religious social capital is defined as the social resources available to individuals and groups through their social connections with a religious community. Domains covered include group membership, social integration, values/norms, bonding/bridging trust as well as social support. Cross-sectional data come from a convenience sample of 104 community dwelling adults residing in a single urban neighborhood in a large US city, who also provided information on neighborhood social capital, and experiences of urban stressors. Results suggest that religious social capital is a valid construct that can be reliably measured. All indicators of religious social capital were higher among those who frequently attended religious services, with the exception of bridging trust (trust of people from different religious groups). A weak, inverse, association was also observed between religious and neighborhood social capital levels. Levels of religious social capital were correlated with higher levels of reported urban stressors, while neighborhood social capital was correlated with lower urban stressor levels. A significant percent of the sample was unaffiliated with a religious tradition and these individuals were more likely to be male, young and more highly educated. Social capital is a promising construct to help elucidate the influence of religion on population health.
