Previous research has shown a strong connection between parental religiosity and parenting behaviors in the transmission of religion from parent to child. Our study expanded upon previous research by examining how perceived maternal and paternal warmth and overprotection mediated the relation between parental and personal religiosity in males and females. A sample of 486 emerging adults reported maternal, paternal, and personal religiosity as well as their parents’ parenting behaviors. Results indicated that perceived paternal warmth served as a mediator for males only but neither perceived maternal nor paternal overprotection mediated the relationship between parental religiosity and emerging adult religiosity. Gender moderated the paths from perceived paternal religiosity to paternal overprotection, such that the relationship was stronger for females, and perceived paternal warmth to emerging adult religiosity, such that the relationship was stronger for males. Overall, results demonstrated that mediation effects occurred for males only, suggesting moderated mediation.

亲子宗教信仰之间的联系：通过感知母体和父亲的温暖和过度保护以及新兴的成人性别进行调节

先前的研究表明，在宗教从父母到孩子的传播过程中，父母的宗教信仰与养育行为之间存在密切联系。我们的研究扩展了先前的研究，通过检查感知到的母性和父性的温暖和过度保护如何调节男性和女性的父母和个人宗教信仰之间的关系。486 名新兴成年人的样本报告了母亲、父亲和个人的宗教信仰以及他们父母的养育行为。结果表明，感知到的父亲温暖仅作为男性的中介，但感知到的母亲或父亲的过度保护都没有调节父母宗教信仰和新兴成人宗教信仰之间的关系。性别调节了从父系宗教信仰到父系过度保护的路径，这样的关系对于女性来说更强烈，并且对新兴的成人宗教信仰感知到父亲的温暖，因此男性的关系更牢固。总的来说，结果表明中介效应只发生在男性身上，表明中介是适度的。
