虽然众所周知，青少年的宗教信仰与合法和非法物质的使用和滥用有关，但很少有研究揭示宗教信仰如何缓冲青少年参与此类行为的途径。本研究的目的是考察宗教信仰、感觉寻求、禁止性规范和青少年物质使用之间关系的复杂性。使用全国青少年样本(N=18,614)，使用负二项回归和通径分析来检验宗教信仰与使用香烟、酒精和大麻之间的关系的各个组成部分。结果表明，私人宗教信仰调节了关键危险因素与药物使用之间的关系。公共和私人的宗教信仰与宽容的禁止性物质使用规范有关，而后者又与物质使用有关。对与宗教信仰和青少年物质使用有关的研究和理论的影响进行了讨论。
While it is well understood that adolescent religiosity is associated with the use and abuse of licit and illicit substances, few studies have revealed the pathways through which religiosity buffers youth against involvement in such behavior. The aim of this study is to examine the complexity of the relationships between religiosity, sensation seeking, injunctive norms, and adolescent substance use. Using a national sample of adolescents (N = 18,614), negative binomial regression and path analysis were used to examine the various components of the relationship between religiosity and the use of cigarettes, alcohol, and marijuana. Results indicate that private religiosity moderates the relationship between key risk factors and substance use. Public and private religiosity were associated with tolerant injunctive substance use norms which, in turn, were associated with substance use. Implications for research and theory related to religiosity and adolescent substance use are discussed.
