少量但不断增长的文献关注宗教与家庭暴力之间的联系。最近的几项研究报告称，定期参加宗教活动与男性和女性的虐待行为呈负相关。在概述了宗教参与与家庭暴力之间可能存在的直接和间接联系的一系列理论论证之后，我们使用第一波全国家庭和住户调查 (NSFH-1) 的数据分析了这些关系。主要发现包括：（1）定期参加宗教活动与家庭暴力的发生呈负相关：（2）在男性中，这种保护作用仅在每周参加宗教活动的人中明显，而在女性中，这种保护作用也影响到每月参加宗教活动的人； (3) 尽管在家庭暴力自我报告模型中，参加宗教活动的估计净效应通常稍大一些，但在伴侣暴力报告模型中，这种联系仍然很强，并且具有统计显着性； (4) 此外，即使对(a) 社会融合和社会支持、(b) 酗酒和药物滥用以及(c) 自卑和抑郁等措施进行统计控制，参加宗教活动与虐待之间的负相关关系仍然存在。最后，我们讨论了这些发现的一些含义，并确定了未来研究的几个有希望的方向。
A small but growing literature focuses on the link between religion and family violence. Several recent studies report that regular religious is adversely related to abuse among both men and women. After outlining a series of theoretical arguments possible direct and indirect links between religious involvement and domestic violence we analyze these relationships using data from wave 1 of the National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH-1). Among the key findings: (1) regular religious attendance is inversely associated with the perpetration of domestic violence: (2) among men, this protective effect is evident only among weekly attenders, whereas among women the protective effect also effects among monthly attenders; (3) although the estimated net effects of religious attendance are generally somewhat larger in models of self-reports of domestic violence, this link also remains strong and statistically significant in models of partner reports of violence; and (4) moreover, the inverse association between religious attendance and abuse persists even with statistical controls for measures of (a) social integration and social support, (b) alcohol and substance abuse, and (c) low self-esteem and depression. We conclude by discussing a number of implications of these findings, and by identifying several promising directions for future research.
