Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Current theories offer conflicting accounts of the effects of childhood maltreatment on adult religiosity, while, in empirical research, use of probability sampling is rare, as is a focus on non-sexual forms of abuse, and research often does not control for risk factors for abuse which may also affect adult religiosity. In this research, I synthesize these theories by focusing on how the effects of abuse may vary, depending on the source of maltreatment, and I test this synthesis by examining the effects of non-sexual forms of abuse on adult religiosity in a nationally representative sample of adults at midlife. Several of the effects of maltreatment on religiosity are reduced to non-significance by controlling for risk factors, but non-sexual abuse by fathers is related to decreases in religiosity for men and women, while abuse from outside of the immediate family is related to increases in self-perception of spirituality for women. These results are interpreted in light of the theoretical synthesis.
