Wpływ aktywności religijnej na działalność ludzką

Abstract

Research which has been carried out in Upper Silesia in the group of 1030 women reveal that there is a close correlation between religious activity and other fields of human activity. The Scale of Religious Activity based on the most prominent signs of religiousness for an average worshiper such as: declaring one’s faith, participating in religious practices, religious up-bringing of children, involvement in parish community life, awareness of interdependence between beliefs and religious activity, and family harmony have been used in the research project. The findings have shown that religious activity favourably correlates with such issues as: opting for family as the most important value in life, partnership in marriage, community life in the family, trusting children, sharing responsibility in decision-making, spending much time together, and celebrating religious festivities. Family background has great impact on religious activity – the better the relations in family are, the higher the religious activity in the family is.
