This study investigates associations between religious involvement and identity and attitudes related to domestic violence using nationally representative cross-sectional data from n = 1287 Australian adults in the 2018 Australian Survey of Social Attitudes (AuSSA). Linear regression models were used to analyse the association between religious involvement (frequency of service attendance and prayer) and identity (religious, spiritual or both) with attitudes related to domestic violence (patriarchal beliefs, failure to acknowledge domestic violence as an issue and trust in faith leaders' responses to domestic violence). Results showed that religious service attendance, frequency of prayer and spiritual/religious identity were associated with more patriarchal beliefs about gender roles. There was no evidence that religious involvement or identity was associated with failure to acknowledge domestic violence as a national issue. In contrast, frequent (but not infrequent) religious involvement and religious identity were associated with failure to acknowledge domestic violence in participants' own faith communities. Addressing patriarchal beliefs and acknowledgement of domestic violence within faith communities among those who regularly attend services, pray and identify as religious are key targets for action to address domestic violence and improve population health.

宗教的“黑暗面”？澳大利亚宗教参与、身份和家庭暴力决定因素之间的关联

 本研究使用2018 年澳大利亚社会态度调查 (AuSSA) 中 1287 名澳大利亚成年人的全国代表性横截面数据，调查了宗教参与与家庭暴力相关的身​​份和态度之间的关联。使用线性回归模型来分析宗教参与（参加礼拜和祈祷的频率）和身份（宗教、精神或两者兼而有之）与对家庭暴力的态度（重男轻女信仰、不承认家庭暴力是一个问题以及对家庭暴力的信任）之间的关联。信仰领袖对家庭暴力的反应）。结果显示，参加宗教仪式、祈祷频率和精神/宗教认同与更多关于性别角色的父权观念相关。没有证据表明宗教参与或身份与不承认家庭暴力是一个国家问题有关。相比之下，频繁（但并非不频繁）的宗教参与和宗教身份与参与者不承认自己的信仰社区中的家庭暴力有关。解决家庭暴力问题，并让定期参加礼拜、祈祷和信教的人认识到信仰社区内的家庭暴力问题，是解决家庭暴力和改善人口健康行动的关键目标。
