In previous assessments of the link, religiosity has been hypothesized to serve as a protective or mitigating factor. An increase in religiosity was thus hypothesized to result in diminished likelihood of adolescents' engagement in risky, health endangering behaviors. Evidence in support of that general hypothesis, however, has been uneven. It was hypothesized for the current analysis that the character of the relationship of adolescent religiosity to risky, health endangering behaviors varies as a function of the definition of religiosity and the level of risk of the behaviors studied. |
