Abstract
Studies demonstrating correlations of religiosity with mental health largely characterize religiousness as a stable construct. However, research has shown that religiosity probably changes significantly across the lifespan. Most of this literature conceptualizes religiosity as attendance at religious services, yet it is likely that other health-related aspects of religion (such as personal devotion, orthodoxy, or private ritual use) also change with development. It is not known whether observed associations of religiosity with such mental health variables as depression, delinquency, and substance abuse also show variation over the lifespan.
