This study was conducted from November 2018 to March 2019 in selected schools in Dasmarinas City to determine the relationship between the religious involvement and the psychological well-being of adolescent students. Specifically, this study aimed to: determine the level of religious involvement of adolescent students from selected schools of Dasmarinas City, Cavite; 2. determine the level of psychological well-being of adolescent students from selected schools of Dasmarinas City, Cavite; and 3. determine if there is a significant relationship between religious involvement and psychological well-being.
This study used descriptive correlational research design. The measurement scales used in this study included: Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale and Religious Involvement Scale. The study group involved 400 participants; all of which were adolescents attending high school in Dasmarinas City, Cavite, their ages varying from 13 to 18.
Though weak in correlation, findings of the study revealed that religious involvement and psychological well-being of adolescent students relate significantly: positive relationship with others, purpose in life and self-acceptance have been found to be related with participation in religious activities. However, no such Significant relation could be found for autonomy, personal growth, environmental mastery and religious involvement. These findings show adolescent students have a better psychological well- being when involved in religious activities, ranging from spending time with people in prayer to going to mosque on holy days, which helps them perform religious duties, meets the need for building intimacy with others, gives them sense of security for the self, instils hope in them, makes them feel important, and helps them cope with stress.
