신앙과 주관적 빈곤

Does Religion Mitigate the Sensitivity about Subjective Poverty?

본고에서는 신앙이 주관적 빈곤을 완화시킬 수 있는지 분석하였다. 종속변수로는 ’사회적 위계‘, ’재정적 압박‘,’가계수지‘ 등을 사용하였다. 신앙의 대리변수를 무엇으로 정하는가에 따라 결과가 조금 달라지기는 했으나 신앙은 주관적 빈곤에 대해 다른 설명변수(예를 들면 소득이나 학력, 세대간 비교와 같은 변수)들에 비해 영향력이 상대적으로 작은 것으로 나타났다.

I have looked into the possibility that religion mitigates the sense of subjective poverty. Having fitted the ordinal logistic regression model in which an indicator of subjective poverty (such as ‘social class’, ‘financial difficulty’ or ‘household savings’) is explained by a set of explanatory variables representing religiosity (‘church membership’, ‘religious zeal’, ‘secularity’, or ‘worldlines’) along with other controls such as income, education, age, sex, family size, and standard of living, I have found that religiosity is not so influential in reducing the sensitivity of subjective poverty as other variables such as income, education, and the standard of living.
