Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: A growing body of multidisciplinary research documents associations between religious involvement and mental health outcomes, yet the causal mechanisms linking them are not well understood. In a recent Social Forces article, Ellison and his colleagues (2001) tested a series of hypotheses derived from the life stress paradigm which linked religious involvement to adult well-being and distress. This represented a significant step toward a well-developed sociology of religion and mental health. In the present study those proposed mechanisms are tested in a population of adolescents, a particularly understudied group in religious research. Analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) reveals that religious effects on adolescent mental health are complex. While religious involvement did not appear to prevent the occurrence of stressors or buffer their impact, some support was found for the hypothesis that religion facilitates coping by enhancing social and psychological resources. Future research on the unique nature of adolescent religiosity and its role in the stress process is suggested.
