This article explores the potential links between religious beliefs, deviant behavior, and negative self‐perceptions in Guam's Asian‐Pacific community. In contrast to earlier reports, the results of multiple regression analyses of Behavioral Risk Factor Survey data (N = 398) suggest that traditional religious beliefs concerning sin may diminish rather than enhance emotional well‐being and that individuals who appraise themselves as sinful may experience participation in deviance (i.e., using marijuana) as far more emotionally devastating than others. The implications of these results for theory and future research are also discussed
