520 |a This study examines the influence of religion, religious behaviour and perceptions of spirituality on positive mental health (PMH) of young people in Kerala, India. In a survey done in Kerala, India, we used the Achutha Menon Centre Positive Mental Health Scale (AMCPMHS) to assess positive mental health in a sample of young people aged 18-24, along with an interview schedule. The sample of 453 (males = 230, females = 223) was selected using stratified cluster sampling with probability proportion to size. The mean score of AMCPMHS in this population is 60.37 ± 12.08 (median 57.5), the maximum possible score being 100. There is a significant difference between scores of young people from different religions in the scale. Muslims had a low mean score, with two-way ANOVA showing significant difference by religion (Hindus, mean = 61.15 ± 11.84, Christians, mean = 62.06 ± 11.76; Muslims, mean = 54.97 ± 12.25; p < 0.001) even after controlling for other relevant socio-demographic variables. Multivariate analysis showed that religious differences are mostly explained by the behavioural restrictions and opportunities for socialisation that religion does or does not provide, with a strong gender overlay.
