| Summary: | The relationships of adolescent and adult religiosity indices to overall feelings of personal well-being and expressed satisfaction with community, job, and marriage were assessed for a panel of persons currently in their early fifties. The adolescent measures consisted of a religious participation scale and the frequency of parents' church attendance; adult indices were religious attitudes and frequency of church attendance. Findings indicated that religious attitudes positively related to overall well-being, and community and marital satisfaction of both men and women, and to the job satisfaction of men. Present church attendance was positively associated with overall and community satisfaction, but not with the other dependent variables. For the men, adolescent religious participation was positively related to job satisfaction; for women, the relationship was negative. Father's church attendance interacted with gender in its relationship to marital satisfaction, suggesting that the effect of early religious socialization on adult well-being may be complex. |
