Children's Religious Attendance and Child Well-Being

Written by:
Working Paper Number SEHSD-WP2008-07

Purpose

  • Research suggests a positive association between religious activities and child well-being.
  • However, the relationship has not been investigated in much depth, especially for young children.
  • The well-being of children can be affected by parental behaviors and many circumstances inside and outside the home.
  • This analysis will explore the role of religious attendance in relationship to parental support, school attachment and academic achievement among children.

Presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association, Boston, MA, August 1-4, 2008.
