“…Religiosity has been always viewed as a protective factor in a classical sense [36,38]. Even in secularized societies, religious variables are often found to play a protective role in adolescent well-being [38,39] and substance use [40]. In our sample, only 16.3% of males and 14.8% of females reported going to church regularly (and not only on festive occasions), but it contributed to life satisfaction among these adolescents.…”

“…For example, in a sample of Italian adolescents, religiosity was found to be related to life satisfaction, both directly and indirectly, mediated by positivity [39]. Rates of substance use also tend to be lower among religious youth [40]. Religiosity can act as a protective factor for child development in a number of ways, for example, providing a comprehensive value system, religious coping, or going to a religious community; all these aspects may enhance adolescents' subjective well-being.…”

Adolescent life satisfaction is crucial to later adult health and well-being; therefore, searching for its correlates should receive priority in research. The aim of this study was to explore the role of psychological (depression, future orientation), school-related (school achievement, satisfaction with school), religious (going to church, importance of religion), socially supportive (family and friend support), other familial, and sociodemographic (age, sex, self-assessed socioeconomic status) factors in adolescent life satisfaction. This cross-sectional survey (entitled Szeged Youth Study 2022) involved a sample of middle and high school students (N = 2239, aged 11–18 years, 51.8% females) from public schools in Szeged, Hungary. Besides descriptive statistics, correlation and multiple regression analysis were applied to the data analyses. Boys scored higher on the life satisfaction scale (Satisfaction with Life Scale, SWLS), while the level of depression (Children’s Depression Inventory, CDI) was higher among girls. In the final regression model, family support was the strongest predictor of life satisfaction (β = 0.44, p < 0.001), followed by depression (as a negative contributor), socioeconomic (SES) self-assessment, future orientation, satisfaction with school, going to church, and friend support. School prevention programs should be focused not only on preventing mental health difficulties but also promoting adolescent well-being.

“…Piety is one of the characteristics of the Pancasila student profile, in which students acknowledge the existence of God, continue to follow directions, and abstain from actions against their religious convictions (Syafi'i, 2021). Students who obey their religious orders are less likely to engage in deviant behavior than students who are not religious (Shepperd & Forsyth, 2023).…”
