  • Where Hope Thrives

    Open Access•Victor Counted, K Long et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Happiness Studies•2026

    202,898) and employing random effects meta-analysis, we explore the cross-national variations in self-rated hope across various sociodemographic factors, including age, gender, marital status, employment, religious service attendance, education, and immigration status. Our findings reveal considerable variations in levels of hope across countries, and some notable differences across demographic groups, highlighting unique individual and societal …

  • Religion, Accountability, and the Risk of Aggressive Misconduct Among Prisoners

    Open Access•J Jang, Bryan R Johnson et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Offender…•2026

    Prior research has found inverse relationship between religious involvement and misconduct among prisoners. In this study, we examined the mediating role of accountability as welcoming responsibility for one’s actions with respect to the transcendent (e.g., God or a higher power) and other people. We applied structural equation modeling to analyze data from surveys with 339 individuals (108 females and 231 males) incarcerated at three facilities …

  • Mapping Religious and Spiritual Comfort Worldwide

    Open Access•Dorota Weziak-Bialowolska, Richard G Cowden et al.•ARTICLE•Critical Research on Religion•2026

    Prior research highlights the role of religious and spiritual (R/S) comfort in coping with adversity, particularly in Global North contexts. This study examined R/S comfort across 22 countries and various demographics, using representative data from 202,898 individuals participating in the Global Flourishing Study. For each demographic category country-specific proportions of R/S comfort were estimated by country and then pooled using random-effe…

  • Religious Reading across Borders and Demographics

    Open Access•Dorota Weziak-Bialowolska, Piotr Bialowolski et al.•ARTICLE•Studia Religiologica•2026

    Previous research on religiosity mainly focuses on religious service attendance and prayer. Less is known about reading and listening to sacred texts (RLST) across cultures. This study examines RLST habits across 22 countries and key demographic groups, using data from 202,898 individuals. The country-specific results are pooled using a random-effects meta-analysis. The prevalence of RLST varied substantially, from 4% in Japan to 70% in Tanzania,…

  • Swedish Well-Being

    Open Access•August Nilsson, Petri J Kajonius et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Population Health•2026

    The main demographic and psychological correlates of Well-Being (WB) are well-established, but have not yet been assessed in the Swedish population–regularly ranked among the world’s top five ranked WB nations–based on large, nationally representative data. Using 2023 Global Flourishing Study data ( N = 15,068), this paper analyzes Swedish WB across three domains: demography (e.g., gender, age, and income), individual personality traits (e.g., Bi…

  • Demographic Variation in Inner Peace Across 22 Countries

    Open Access•T Lomas, R Noah Padgett et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Happiness Studies•2025

    Although peace is invariably regarded as a universal good, most research focuses on ‘outer’ forms (e.g., societal relations), with little attention to ‘inner’ peace (IP, i.e., tranquil states of mind). This may reflect the Western-centrism of academia, with low arousal positive states like IP being relatively undervalued in the West. But alongside broader efforts to redress such Western-centricity, an emergent literature is now exploring this con…

  • Measuring wellbeing in the Global Flourishing Study

    Open Access•Richard G Cowden, Deborah Skinstad et al.•ARTICLE•Quality & Quantity•2025

    Prior research suggests that cross-national cognitive interviewing can provide preliminarily insights into the extent to which survey items that will be employed in large-scale global research might be understood similarly or differently across countries. Against the backdrop of the recently launched Global Flourishing Study, we used multinational cognitive interview data from 116 individuals ( M = 41.4 years, SD = 14.9, female = 50.9%) in 22 cou…

  • New Insights for “What Works”? Religiosity and the Risk-Needs-Responsivity Model

    Open Access•Grant Duwe, Bryan R Johnson et al.•ARTICLE•Crime & Delinquency•2025

    The existing literature has devoted relatively little attention to the responsivity principle and, in particular, religiosity as a type of specific responsivity. Using a sample of nearly 2,000 people incarcerated in Minnesota’s prison system, this study examined the relationship between religiosity and measures of risk, needs, and responsivity. The results showed that religiosity was positively associated with childhood trauma, pro-social identit…

  • Spirituality, religion, and well-being among Israeli Jews

    Open Access•J Levin, Matt Bradshaw et al.•ARTICLE•Mental Health Religion & Culture•2025

    This study of differences in psychological well-being among those who report being spiritual, religious, both, or neither is conducted among adult (18+) Jewish respondents from the Israeli sample (N = 2,958) of the first wave of the Global Flourishing Study (GFS), a 22-nation population survey. Data were collected via randomised, stratified, probability-based sampling, and contained indicators of numerous constructs. Greater self-reported mental …

  • Comparison of the effects of childhood demographic characteristics on physical activity during adulthood across 22 countries

    Open Access•Chung Gun Lee, Elizabeth Kwon et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2025

    The findings highlight the critical role of childhood self-rated health and religious involvement in shaping physical activity habits in adulthood across 22 countries. These results lay the groundwork for future GFS data (2024 through 2027) to guide interventions promoting physical activity among adults globally

  • Comparison of the relationship between key demographic features and physical activity levels across 22 countries

    Open Access•Chung Gun Lee, Elizabeth Kwon et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2025

    These results contribute to a deeper understanding of the sociodemographic disparities in physical activity participation. By documenting physical activity patterns across key demographic groups and countries worldwide, this study provides valuable insights into the social determinants of physical activity behavior

  • Strangers, Friends, and Everything Between

    Open Access•Renae Wilkinson, Koichiro Shiba et al.•ARTICLE•Social Indicators Research•2025•Referências: 11

    While prior research has demonstrated that social relationships meaningfully shape health and well-being, less is known about how subjective evaluations of the quality of one’s relationships differ across national contexts and across sociodemographic groups within different countries. Using data from the Global Flourishing Study, a large international sample of 202,898 adults from 22 countries, we examined the average level and distributions of s…

  • Analysis of demographic variation and childhood correlates of financial well-being across 22 countries

    Open Access•Piotr Bialowolski, Christos A Makridis et al.•ARTICLE•Nature Human Behaviour•2025•Citada por: 1•Referências: 79

    Using nationally representative data from 202,898 participants in the Global Flourishing Study, this work examines factors associated with financial well-being across 22 countries. We investigate how demographic factors—including age, gender, marital status, employment status, education, religious service attendance and immigration status—are correlated with financial well-being (as assessed through four dimensions). Additionally, we analyse asso…

  • Demographic Variation in Balance in Life Across 22 Countries

    Open Access•T Lomas, R Noah Padgett et al.•ARTICLE•Applied Research in Quality of Life•2025•Referências: 70

    The importance of balance has been selectively acknowledged in modern scholarship through notions such as work-life balance. However, the broader notion of balance in life has remained underappreciated. This may reflect the Western-centric nature of academia, with balance having received less attention in the West compared to other cultures. But aligning with efforts to make scholarship more globally inclusive, an emergent literature is exploring…

  • Seeds of Hope

    Open Access•Victor Counted, K Long et al.•ARTICLE•Applied Research in Quality of Life•2025•Referências: 54

    This study investigates childhood predictors of adult hope across 22 countries, leveraging data from 202,898 participants in the Global Flourishing Study. Key findings indicate that positive childhood experiences, such as excellent or very good health, supportive parental relationships, and regular religious attendance, are strongly associated with higher levels of hope in adulthood. Conversely, negative experiences like abuse and feeling like an…

  • Childhood Predictors of Dispositional Forgivingness in Adulthood

    Open Access•Richard G Cowden, Everett L Worthington et al.•ARTICLE•Applied Research in Quality of Life•2025•Referências: 53

    A robust body of empirical evidence suggests that forgiveness of others is positively related to individual wellbeing. However, less empirical work has been done to identify the factors that may help children not only forgive better during childhood but also develop into adults who practice forgiveness more consistently. To support a population health agenda aimed at the promotion of forgiveness, further research is needed to identify potential d…

  • Multidimensional versus unidimensional approaches to well-being

  • From hardship to resilience

    Open Access•Dorota Weziak-Bialowolska, Andrzej Cwynar et al.•ARTICLE•Social Science & Medicine•2025•Referências: 60

    This study examines the prospective associations between subjective childhood financial conditions and adult well-being outcomes across 22 countries, with a specific focus on differences between WEIRD and less WEIRD contexts. Using nationally representative cross-sectional data from 202,898 individuals, we analyzed retrospective reports of childhood financial conditions - categorized as "lived comfortably," "got by," "found it difficult," and "fo…

  • Assessing the Link Between Bible Reading and Flourishing Among Military Families

    Open Access•Matt Bradshaw, J Jang et al.•ARTICLE•Armed Forces & Society•2025•Citada por: 1•Referências: 102

    This study examines whether participating in a Bible reading program for military families (called 'Hero Squad') is positively related to overall human flourishing among children, family units, and parents/caregivers. Previous research shows salutary associations between multiple dimensions of religiosity (including reading sacred texts) and different aspects of flourishing (e.g., physical health, psychological well-being, character and virtue, s…

  • Assessing a Faith-Based Program for Trauma Healing Among Jail Inmates

    Open Access•J Jang, Bryan R Johnson et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Offender…•2024

    This paper assesses a faith-based, short-term program for trauma healing among incarcerated individuals, “Correctional Trauma Healing Program” (CTHP). We hypothesized that participation in the CTHP would reduce negative consequences of lifetime trauma: symptoms of PTSD, state depression, state anger, suicidal ideation, and the risk of interpersonal aggression. We also hypothesized that the reduction, if found, would be partly attributable to anti…

  • Religious Differences in Physical and Mental Health among Israeli Jews

    Open Access•J Levin, Matt Bradshaw et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Religion and Health•2024

  • Capitalizing on Religious Pluralism in U.S. Prison Ministry

    Open Access•Michael Hallett, Bryan R Johnson et al.•ARTICLE•Religions•2024

    The renewed growth of immersive “faith-unit” programs operating inside U.S. maximum-security prisons has brought with it a heightened emphasis on the practice of religion in correctional settings. Modeled from a prototype Christian seminary planted inside Louisiana State Penitentiary Angola, newer programs utilize outside religious educators for the credentialing of inmates into work assignments on behalf of prisons. As resource-challenged warden…

  • Assessing religion and spirituality in a cross-cultural sample

    Open Access•Kris A Johnson, Jordan W Moon et al.•ARTICLE•Religion Brain & Behavior•2024

    The Global Flourishing Survey (GFS) was initiated to provide an open-access, longitudinal study of health and well-being using a participant panel from 22 countries around the world. At the core of the GFS are questions on religion and spirituality—notoriously difficult to assess in a cross-cultural context. Additionally, the longitudinal aspect will allow for tests of within-person change over time. In developing the religion and spirituality it…

  • Bible Use and Human Flourishing Among Members of the U.S. Military Community

    Open Access•J Jang, Matt Bradshaw et al.•ARTICLE•Religions•2024

    We examined an understudied aspect of religiosity, namely engagement with a sacred text, in relation to a multidimensional construct of well-being. Specifically, we hypothesized that the relationship between Bible use (various ways of utilizing the Bible) and human flourishing would be positive and mediated by three likely outcomes of Bible use: spiritual engagement, positive beliefs about the Bible, and the behavioral influence of the Bible. The…

  • Neighborhood Disorder, Individual Religiosity, and Adolescent Use of Illicit Drugs

    Open Access•J Jang, Sung Joon Jang et al.•ARTICLE•Criminology•2001•Citada por: 55•Referências: 29

    We hypothesize about the relationships among perceived neighborhood disorder, individual religiosity, and adolescent use of illicit drugs, marijuana and hard drugs; and the age‐varying effects of religiosity on illicit drug use. Applying hierarchical linear models to analyze the National Youth Survey data, we first find that neighborhood disorder and religiosity have hypothesized effects on illicit drug use independent of social bonding and socia…

  • Gender, Religiosity, and Reactions to Strain Among African Americans

    Open Access•J Jang, Sung Joon Jang et al.•ARTICLE•Sociological Quarterly•2005•Citada por: 47•Referências: 47

    Drawing on Broidy and Agnew's (1997) Broidy, Lisa and Robert Agnew. 1997. “Gender and Crime: A General Strain Theory Perspective.” Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency 34: 275–306.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar] extension of general strain theory to explain gender differences in deviance and crime, we tested hypotheses explaining why women are more distressed than men, but less likely to commit deviance in reaction to st…

  • Contact in Context

    Open Access•Bryan R Johnson, Cardell K Jacobson•ARTICLE•Social Psychology Quarterly•2005•Citada por: 46•Referências: 14

    Using data from a New York Times poll conducted in 2000, we analyze whites' approval of interracial marriage by examining the contexts in which whites have contact with blacks. The contexts can be ordered by the type of contact they provide, from close and personal to distant or hierarchical. The results of our analysis show that the type of contact engendered by a variety of contexts is important in determining attitudes toward interracial marri…

  • Recovering the Lost

    Open Access•K D Dougherty, Bryan R Johnson et al.•ARTICLE•Journal for the Scientific Study…•2007•Citada por: 31•Referências: 20

    Over the past several decades, survey research has found a growing percentage of Americans claiming no religious affiliation. In this article, we introduce a modified religious traditions (RELTRAD) typology to measure religious affiliation. The approach benefits from a more detailed data collection and coding scheme of religious tradition based upon religious family, denomination, and congregation. Using new national survey data from the Baylor R…

  • Race/Ethnicity, Religious Involvement, and Domestic Violence

    The authors explored the relationship between religious involvement and intimate partner violence by analyzing data from the first wave of the National Survey of Families and Households. They found that: (a) religious involvement is correlated with reduced levels of domestic violence; (b) levels of domestic violence vary by race/ethnicity; (c) the effects of religious involvement on domestic violence vary by race/ethnicity; and (d) religious invo…

  • Religious Involvement and Dynamics of Marijuana Use

    J T Ulmer, Scott A Desmond et al.•ARTICLE•Deviant Behavior•2012•Citada por: 22•Referências: 35

    Studies that examine the effects of adolescent religiosity on the initiation of, persistence in, and desistence from delinquency are rare. Yet, religion may differentially affect dimensions of delinquency in the early life course. Therefore, using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), we examine the relationship between measures of adolescent religion, as well as changes in religious involvement, and later p…

    This study applies Smith's (2003a) theory of religious effects to account for the link between religiosity and distress. Using a latent-variable structural equation modeling approach, we analyze survey data from a nationally representative sample of African-American adults and find empirical support for our hypotheses. In terms of anger, depression, and anxiety, religiously committed African Americans exhibit lower levels of distress than their l…

    Open Access•Buster G Smith, Bryan R Johnson et al.•ARTICLE•Journal for the Scientific Study…•2010•Citada por: 12•Referências: 6

    Media outlets and observers of American religion suggest that young evangelicals are retreating from the ranks of the “Christian right” and are embracing more liberal positions on controversial social issues. We test this hypothesis using the Baylor Religion Survey. We examine two separate measures of evangelical identity as well as a wide variety of political identifications and attitudes. Our study indicates that young evangelicals (1) are sign…

  • Deregulation and The Religious Market in Taiwan

    Open Access•Yunfeng Lu, Bryan R Johnson et al.•ARTICLE•Sociological Quarterly•2008•Citada por: 12•Referências: 18

    The religious economy model predicts that when encountered with competition, loosely organized religions will fail or will be transformed into congregational religions. Over time, competition will drive congregational religions to establish an extended relationship with their consumers by generating exclusivist claims and exclusivist socialization. And thus exclusive religion tends to occupy the biggest market share. This model, however, has rare…

  • The policing of domestic violence in rural and urban areas

    Neil Websdale, Bryan R Johnson et al.•ARTICLE•Policing & Society•1997•Citada por: 12•Referências: 3

    Two main lacunae in the literature on domestic violence and its policing set the stage for our research. The first is the absence of the "voices of women" and the publication of their opinions and perceptions of police performance at domestic disputes. The second is the failure to address rural domestic violence and its policing. Using ethnographic research as a starting point, we formulate two propositions that guide the current research project…

  • The Effects of Childhood Exposure to Drug Users and Religion on Drug Use in Adolescence and Young Adulthood

    Open Access•J Jang, Sung Joon Jang et al.•ARTICLE•Youth & Society•2011•Citada por: 10•Referências: 20

    Previous research finds drug-using peers and religiosity to be key predictors of drug use among youth, but the effects of childhood exposure to drug users and religion on later drug use have been understudied. The authors hypothesize a child's exposure to parental drug use and religious upbringing have a causal influence on drug use in youth primarily through drug-using peer association and religiosity during adolescence and young adulthood. To t…

  • The Intervention Selection Bias

    Robert E Larzelere, Brett R Kuhn et al.•ARTICLE•Psychological Bulletin•2004•Citada por: 7•Referências: 129

    Selection bias can be the most important threat to internal validity in intervention research, but is often insufficiently recognized and controlled. The bias is illustrated in research on parental interventions (punishment, homework assistance); medical interventions (hospitalization); and psychological interventions for suicide risk, sex offending, and juvenile delinquency. The intervention selection bias is most adequately controlled in random…

    This paper extends research on images of God, which prior researchers based mostly on national survey data, to a study of offenders in prison. We first explore whether the distribution of Froese and Bader's (America's four gods: What we say about god-& what that says about us, Oxford University Press, New York 2010 ) four images of God among prison inmates is similar to that in the general population. We then examine whether an inmate's image of …

  • Existential and Virtuous Effects of Religiosity on Mental Health and Aggressiveness among Offenders

    Although prior research tends to show that religion has a salutary effect on mental health and a preventive effect on crime, studies explaining the religious effect, particularly those on offenders, have been limited. To address the issue, we examine whether religiosity is inversely related to negative emotions and aggressiveness among prison inmates. Additionally, we assess whether the relationships are attributable to an inmate's sense of meani…

    A recent outcome evaluation of the InnerChange Freedom Initiative (InnerChange), a faith-based prisoner reentry program that has operated within Minnesota’s prison system since 2002, showed the program is effective in lowering recidivism. This study extends research on InnerChange by conducting a cost-benefit analysis of the program. Because InnerChange relies heavily on volunteers and program costs are privately funded, the program exacts no add…

    Prior research tends to find a positive relationship between religiosity and political participation. Explanations of this relationship have focused mostly on religiosity-generated organizational resources (e.g., civic skills), while paying less attention to psychological resources. We simultaneously examined different aspects of religiosity (belief, behavior, and belonging) and political participation (electoral and nonelectoral) in a structural…

    This article discusses the growing prominence of "faith-based" programs in American corrections and the historical context of penal regime change during periods of economic crisis. The article traces areas of overlap and divergence in recent discussions of penal reform in the U.S. The article suggests a new American penitentiary movement is emerging, noting central tenets of faith-based programs have salience for both conservatives and liberals: …

    This study uses Swedish trends in alleged criminal assaults against minors to investigate whether societal violence has decreased since their spanking ban in 1979.The rates of all assaults increased dramatically. Compared to 1981, criminal statistics in 2010 included about 22 times as many cases of physical child abuse, 24 times as many assaults by minors against minors, and 73 times as many rapes of minors under the age of 15.

    Objectives In recent years, scholars have become concerned about the effects that declining levels of social capital are having on community life in the United States. Data suggest that Americans are less likely to interact with neighbors and less likely to participate in community groups than they were in the past. Nevertheless, researchers have found that participation in some types of organizations has a positive impact on social capital and c…

    Prior research has established a positive relationship between religiosity and civic engagement but focused on public religiosity rather than private religiosity without explaining the relationship. We examined private religiosity as well as public religiosity in relation to community engagement, explaining the religiosity-community engagement relationship with two understudied mechanisms: "transcendent accountability" (seeing oneself as accounta…

    This paper argues that religious freedom has consistently been linked to volunteerism and the work of faith-based individuals and organizations in addressing a variety of social problems including crime and delinquency, substance abuse treatment, offender rehabilitation, and prison reentry. Moreover, the emerging subfield of positive criminology is beginning to document the ways in which faith-based efforts are providing more positive and restora…

    This paper investigates the effect of religious affiliation on individual well-being. Using Gallup's U.S. Daily Poll between 2008 and 2017, we find that those who are engaged in their local church and view their faith as important to their lives have not only higher levels of subjective well-being, but also acyclical levels. We show that the acyclicality of subjective well-being among Christians is not driven by selection effects or the presence …

    In this exploratory article we draw attention to the full faith and credit guarantees offered by the 1994 Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). We begin by noting the significance of new interstate protections for battered women in light of the difficulties and dangers they face as they flee across state lines in search of safety. We argue that full faith and credit guarantees are a progressive development in the struggle against domestic violence. …

    The influence of religion on delinquency has been debated for more than 30 years, and yet, there remains a lack of consensus about the nature of this relationship. In an effort to bring some clarity to this area, this study assesses the religion-delinquency literature by using a methodological approach to reviewing a body of literature that is new to the social sciences—the systematic review (SR). This SR revealed that the literature is not dispa…

    Open Access•J Jang, Sung Joon Jang et al.•ARTICLE•Journal for the Scientific Study…•2004•Citada por: 15•Referências: 43

    This study applies Smith's (2003a) theory of religious effects to account for the link between religiosity and distress. Using a latent-variable structural equation modeling approach, we analyze survey data from a nationally representative sample of African-American adults and find empirical support for our hypotheses. In terms of anger, depression, and anxiety, religiously committed African Americans exhibit lower levels of distress than their l…

  • Contact in Context

    Open Access•Bryan R Johnson, Cardell K Jacobson•ARTICLE•Social Psychology Quarterly•2005•Citada por: 46•Referências: 14

    Using data from a New York Times poll conducted in 2000, we analyze whites' approval of interracial marriage by examining the contexts in which whites have contact with blacks. The contexts can be ordered by the type of contact they provide, from close and personal to distant or hierarchical. The results of our analysis show that the type of contact engendered by a variety of contexts is important in determining attitudes toward interracial marri…

    Drawing on Broidy and Agnew's (1997) Broidy, Lisa and Robert Agnew. 1997. “Gender and Crime: A General Strain Theory Perspective.” Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency 34: 275–306.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar] extension of general strain theory to explain gender differences in deviance and crime, we tested hypotheses explaining why women are more distressed than men, but less likely to commit deviance in reaction to st…

  • Interracial Friendship and African American Attitudes about Interracial Marriage

    Open Access•Cardell K Jacobson, Bryan R Johnson•ARTICLE•Journal of Black Studies•2006

    For a variety of reasons, there is little systematic evidence about African American attitudes about interracial marriage. National data are often sparse or not available, and they are often dated. Using a Year 2000 nationally representative poll from The New York Times, we analyze African American approval of interracial marriage. The sample comprised 934 African Americans. Eighty-five percent say they approve of interracial marriage. Education,…

  • Race/Ethnicity, Religious Involvement, and Domestic Violence

    Open Access•C G Ellison, J Trinitapoli et al.•ARTICLE•Violence Against Women•2007•Citada por: 24•Referências: 7

    The authors explored the relationship between religious involvement and intimate partner violence by analyzing data from the first wave of the National Survey of Families and Households. They found that: (a) religious involvement is correlated with reduced levels of domestic violence; (b) levels of domestic violence vary by race/ethnicity; (c) the effects of religious involvement on domestic violence vary by race/ethnicity; and (d) religious invo…

  • Recovering the Lost

    Open Access•K D Dougherty, Bryan R Johnson et al.•ARTICLE•Journal for the Scientific Study…•2007•Citada por: 31•Referências: 20

    Over the past several decades, survey research has found a growing percentage of Americans claiming no religious affiliation. In this article, we introduce a modified religious traditions (RELTRAD) typology to measure religious affiliation. The approach benefits from a more detailed data collection and coding scheme of religious tradition based upon religious family, denomination, and congregation. Using new national survey data from the Baylor R…

  • Deregulation and The Religious Market in Taiwan

    Open Access•Yunfeng Lu, Bryan R Johnson et al.•ARTICLE•Sociological Quarterly•2008•Citada por: 12•Referências: 18

    The religious economy model predicts that when encountered with competition, loosely organized religions will fail or will be transformed into congregational religions. Over time, competition will drive congregational religions to establish an extended relationship with their consumers by generating exclusivist claims and exclusivist socialization. And thus exclusive religion tends to occupy the biggest market share. This model, however, has rare…

  • The Liberalization of Young Evangelicals

    Open Access•Buster G Smith, Bryan R Johnson et al.•ARTICLE•Journal for the Scientific Study…•2010•Citada por: 12•Referências: 6

    Media outlets and observers of American religion suggest that young evangelicals are retreating from the ranks of the “Christian right” and are embracing more liberal positions on controversial social issues. We test this hypothesis using the Baylor Religion Survey. We examine two separate measures of evangelical identity as well as a wide variety of political identifications and attitudes. Our study indicates that young evangelicals (1) are sign…

  • The Effects of Childhood Exposure to Drug Users and Religion on Drug Use in Adolescence and Young Adulthood

    Open Access•J Jang, Sung Joon Jang et al.•ARTICLE•Youth & Society•2011•Citada por: 10•Referências: 20

    Previous research finds drug-using peers and religiosity to be key predictors of drug use among youth, but the effects of childhood exposure to drug users and religion on later drug use have been understudied. The authors hypothesize a child's exposure to parental drug use and religious upbringing have a causal influence on drug use in youth primarily through drug-using peer association and religiosity during adolescence and young adulthood. To t…
