| Summary: | Data are provided from a sample of 12,717 13- to 15-year-olds who never attend church concerning frequency of personal prayer, perceived purpose in life, personality (extraversion, neuroticism, and psychoticism) and social attitudes (school, law and order, and substances). These data demonstrate a significant positive relationship among nonchurchgoers between frequency of personal prayer, purpose in life, and prosocial attitudes, after controlling for sex, age, and personality. Multivariate modelling suggests that the influence of personal prayer on prosocial attitudes is partly, but not wholly, mediated via purpose in life. |
