“…Religious salience has been found to have less effect on substance use [62,65] or even no effect [43], which would be in accordance with our results. On the contrary, one study found that salience predicted lower substance use while attendance did not [35]. Prayer, unlike our results, has been found to predict lower substance use too [43,64].…”

“…The present study, in agreement with the literature, indicates that a higher educational level in parents [41,42] and higher levels of religiosity [35,43] promote greater participation in activities of constructive leisure. Unlike others [44], this study did not find an association between family structure and a greater participation in structured leisure activities.…”

“…Our results also confirm that non-constructive leisure activities were lower among those with a high frequency of church attendance, but not among those with high frequency of praying or with high religious salience. A previous study had found that both attendance and salience predicted lower frequencies of unstructured leisure, although this association varied according to the country studied [35].…”

This study aimed to determine the associations between parental monitoring and affection and three adolescent lifestyle aspects: constructive leisure, non-constructive leisure and substance use. A cross-sectional study was conducted in four countries (Chile, Mexico, Spain and Peru). Adolescents aged 12–15 self-completed a multi-purpose questionnaire. Multiple logistic regressions were performed to analyse the association between the parental monitoring and affection variables and the outcomes in terms of the children’s lifestyles. The results indicate that parental monitoring is conducive to more constructive leisure and less non-constructive leisure and seems to be conducive to the prevention of substance use. Furthermore, parental affection is conducive to constructive leisure and the prevention of substance use. The discussion focuses on the fact that the family can be a protective resource associated with positive adolescent development.

“…This perhaps explains findings of several studies that show positive associations between the virtues of given moral orders and religious practice or salience (e.g. Moulin-Stożek, de Irala, Beltramo, & Osorio, 2018).…”

There has been increased interest in character strengths or virtues in recent years in social research and in various policy domains. However, while the notion of virtue has gained credibility in the fields of positive psychology and moral philosophy, it has yet to be satisfactorily considered from the perspective of social theory – in spite of the ongoing calls of researchers who have identified the need for further investigation into the role of culture and social context in the development of individuals' characters. In order to consider how good character and excellence in specific virtues are formed and sustained in social context, this article gives a theoretical account of character and virtue using well‐known microsociological concepts. It is argued that whereas virtues are often understood as psychological ‘traits’ or ‘dispositions’, they are also socially practiced and represented. Analyses of their related social processes are therefore appropriate and empirically promising, particularly in institutional settings, and can complement other theoretical and methodological approaches.
