Abstract
Research suggests that religiosity, familial factors, and smoking are associated with adolescent alcohol use. The aims of the current study were to investigate whether filial piety, resistance self-efficacy to smoking, and willingness to smoke mediate the relationship between religiosity and alcohol use in 180 adolescents (Mage = 13.23; 60.0% female). Religiosity was not associated with alcohol use, but was associated with filial piety. Resistance self-efficacy, filial piety, and willingness to smoke were all associated with alcohol use. Future prevention programs may benefit from promoting respect toward older family members and should be designed to address both alcohol and smoking-related factors.
