摘要

Robust evidence has shown that religiosity/spirituality (R/S) is associated with mental health, though there have been fewer studies involving children and adolescents, particularly regarding the positive health aspects. This article investigates the relationship between R/S, happiness, and parenting style among 276 young Brazilian adolescents in the sixth grade of elementary education (mean age 11.25 ± 0.63 SD; min. 10; max. 14) and 252 parents (mean age 42.50 ± 6.43 SD; min. 28; max. 66), by way of the Subjective Happiness Scale sociodemographic questionnaire, the Parenting Style Inventory and the BMMRS (Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness/Spirituality). Young adolescents demonstrated a high degree of R/S, which was consistently and robustly associated with happiness. Positive parenting practices were associated with a higher level of happiness, although they did not mediate the association between R/S and happiness. As R/S is frequently observed and influences the happiness of young adolescents, it should be better incorporated into the clinical approach as well as studies investigating the mechanisms that exert influence on youngsters’ well-being.
