Abstract

Like other Western countries, in the Netherlands women continue to demonstrate higher levels of religiosity than men. In this article, we set out to explain this Dutch religious gender gap regarding belief in God, prayer and church attendance. Using high quality survey data (LISS 2015), a comprehensive model is built combining social and psychological differences between Dutch men and women. These gender differences are operationalized where they are most strongly experienced, i.e. within personal relationships. We find that the gender gaps within Dutch relationships regarding belief in God and prayer can be explained by gendered religious socialization and gendered mental health dependency—and for belief in God additionally by the gendered level of agreeableness. For the gender gap regarding church attendance, gendered religious socialization explains the religious gender gap.

荷兰关系中的宗教性别差距:用多因素方法解释荷兰持续存在的宗教性别差距
与其他西方国家一样,荷兰女性的宗教虔诚程度继续高于男性。在这篇文章中,我们着手解释荷兰宗教在上帝信仰、祈祷和教堂出席方面的性别差异。利用高质量的调查数据(LISS 2015),建立了一个综合模型,结合了荷兰男性和女性之间的社会和心理差异。这些性别差异在最强烈地体验到的地方,即在个人关系中体现出来。我们发现,荷兰人在信仰上帝和祈祷方面的性别差异可以用性别宗教社会化和性别心理健康依赖来解释,而在信仰上帝方面,性别亲和性水平也可以解释。对于教会出席率的性别差异,性别宗教社会化解释了宗教性别差异。
