Abstract

ABSTRACT During adolescence, biological, psychological, and social changes naturally propel youth to confront religious matters and form outlooks, moral beliefs, and religious attitudes. However, it is not uncommon for them to manifest changes of affiliation with a religious group or a total removal of all religious expressions within their lives. In Poland, a decline in the level of religiosity of young people has been reported for years. This study aimed to analyze how processes of deconversion affect adolescents’ quality of life. In total, 272 respondents aged between 14 and 18 (M = 15.74, SD = 1.14) participated in the research. The Adolescent Deconversion Scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and Quality of Life Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents were applied. The results showed that existential emptiness and faith abandonment predicted lower adolescent satisfaction, since they weakened the sense of family support. However, moral criticism predicted higher social integration, because adolescents who criticize moral rules taught by religion had a stronger sense of peer support.

波兰青少年的反解构过程与生活质量:社会支持的中介作用

摘要在青少年时期，生理、心理和社会的变化自然而然地促使青年直面宗教问题，形成观点、道德信仰和宗教态度。然而，他们与宗教团体的关系发生变化或在生活中完全消除所有宗教表达并不罕见。据报道，波兰年轻人的宗教信仰水平多年来一直在下降。本研究旨在分析缓解过程如何影响青少年的生活质量。总共有272名年龄在14至18岁之间的受访者（M=15.74，SD=1.14）参与了这项研究。采用青少年解构量表、感知社会支持多维量表和儿童青少年生活质量问卷。研究结果表明，存在的空虚感和信仰的放弃会降低青少年的满意度，因为它们削弱了家庭支持感。然而，道德批评预测了更高的社会融合，因为批评宗教道德规则的青少年有更强的同伴支持感。
