　宗教と精神的健康・主観的ウェルビーイングに関連する文献情報です。本コーナーは以下の口頭発表用資料に基づき、その後、アップデート加筆修正を行ったものです。

付記：Journal for the Scientific Study of Religionから抽出した論文リストは、櫻井義秀(2017)「人は宗教で幸せになれるのか──ウェルビーイングと宗教の分析──」『理論と方法』32(1):80-96のレビュー論文リスト（pp.86-88、pp.94-95）と重なっています。これは櫻井（2017）が、上記の寺沢(2015)に依拠して、レビューを行ったためです。

【概説書】

　このテーマに関する研究は相当な数にのぼります。研究動向を把握できる文献として以下の8つがよいと思われます。

　[1]と[4]と[5]はハンドブック、[2]シンポジウムのイントロダクション、[3]は宗教心理学の立場からのレビューです。[6][7]は特に高齢者・高齢化における宗教と精神的健康を分析した書籍です。[8]は宗教と自殺に関する社会学的研究の最も包括的なレビュー論文です。私が最も興味を抱くのは[8]の宗教と自殺の社会学的研究です。宗教と自殺の社会学的研究と言えばデュルケムの『自殺論』が古典ですが、その後も様々な実証研究が積み重ねられており、その蓄積を理解する上でとても貴重なレビュー論文です。また[6][7]は日本を含め、少子高齢化の進むアジア諸国における宗教と精神的健康を理解する上で、重要な研究書であると感じます。これらの論考の著者であるChristopher G.Ellison、Harold G.konig、およびNeal M.Krauseの三氏はこのテーマに関する第1人者です。またBernice Pescolosido氏は宗教と自殺の社会学的研究の第1人者です。

【研究の背景】

　上に挙げた[2]Ellison(1998)の内容をまとめてみます。[2]Ellison(1998)によりますと、1980年代後半から宗教性の高さが健康の良さに有意な関連をもつという分析結果が発表されるようになりました。高インパクトファクターの雑誌にも同テーマの論文が掲載されるようになりました。1990年代後半には両者の関連を指摘することから進み、「なぜ宗教性の高さと健康の良さが関連するのか？」という問いに関心が向きました。そしておおよそ以下の理論的説明がなされていたようです。

  • 抑制の効いたライフスタイルを送るようになる（暴飲暴食をしないなど）
  • 社会的統合とソーシャルサポート（宗教的集団帰属感、宗教的な情緒的的サポートなど）
  • 心理的資源の高まり（自己肯定観やセルフエスティームの高まり、など）
  • コーピング機能（ストレスに対処するための宗教的認知、苦境に対処する認知的フレーム、など）
  • 神経科学的説明など（祈りなど宗教的実践による神経伝達物質の変化など）

　さらに、研究課題として以下のものが指摘されています。

  • 宗教と主観的健康を結び付ける理論的検討、宗教性の測定法を洗練させること
  • 多様な健康変数に対する着目こと
  • パネル調査をおこない、宗教性と健康の間の因果関係を検討すること
  • 社会層別比較分析を行うこと（たとえばエスニシティー、ジェンダー、階層別の比較など）

【文献】

　先にも述べたように、本テーマに関する先行研究は相当な数になります。その全てをピックアップするのは非常に困難です。そこで近年の主流雑誌における宗教と精神的健康の社会学的研究を収集してみることにします。　上記[8]Wray et al.(2011)などを参考に、以下の6誌を取り上げることにしました。　　

  1. American Sociological Review（社会学）
  2. American Journal of Sociology（社会学）
  3. Social Forces（社会学）
  4. Journal of Health and Social Behavior（健康と医療の社会学）
  5. Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion（宗教社会学）
  6. Review of Religious Research（宗教社会学）
  7. Sociology of Religion（宗教社会学）

　扱う期間は2000年以降に掲載された該当論文すべてです(1999年までの知見は[1]Ellison(1998)などに詳しいためです)。精神的健康は多義的ですが、幸福感、生活満足度、抑うつ感、不安感、自己効力感、セルフエスティーム、自殺などに関するものを幅広く集めてみます。なお逸脱行動（薬物使用、アルコール依存症etc）は外しました。抽出された論文は以下の約80篇です。これ以外の、私が読んだ論文は本コーナーの下の方に別途まとめています。
