Abstract:
|
Previous studies tend to find that religiosity is negatively associated with drug use among adolescents. However, their findings are mostly non-developmental in that they examined the effects of adolescent religiosity on adolescent use of drugs, whether they analyzed cross-sectional or longitudinal data. Taking a life-course perspective, we examine the effects of childhood involvement in religion and religious socialization by parent(s) on drug use during adolescence and early adulthood. Specifically, based on cumulative advantage theory, it is hypothesized that the effects of religious involvement during childhood (ages 7-11) on later drug-using behavior (ages 11-22) are primarily indirect as the early advantage of childhood religiosity increases protective factors and decreases risk factors of drug use. As a result, childhood religiosity is expected to have negative effects on later drug use via those factors as well as adolescent religiosity. To test this hypothesis, we estimated OLS regression models, using three-wave panel data from the National Survey of Children. Results show that adolescent and young adult child's religiosity is attributable to parent's religiosity during childhood, and have direct effects on drug use during adolescence and early adulthood, respectively. |
