Buffering effect of religiosity for adolescent substance use.
This research examined the hypothesis that religiosity buffers the impact of life stress on adolescent substance use. Data were from a sample of 1,182 participants surveyed on 4 occasions between 7th grade (mean age = 12.4 years) and 10th grade. Religiosity was indexed by Jessor's Value on Religion Scale (R.

Family risk factors and adolescent substance use

Temperament dimensions were assessed with the Revised Dimensions of Temperament Survey and the Emotionality, Activity, and Soc…

We describe how the research progr…
