摘要

The present study tests the connection among 8,084 unchurched 13- to 15-year-old students between consuming chocolate, caffeine, and alcohol to make themselves feel better and levels of purpose in life and suicidal ideation. After controlling for personal factors (sex and age) and psychological factors (extraversion, neuroticism, and psychoticism) the data demonstrated that such consumption was associated with lower levels of purpose in life and higher levels of suicidal ideation. This connection is explored in light of Edward Bailey’s theory concerning implicit religion and Gordon Allport’s theory concerning extrinsic religious orientation.
