Abstract
Self-harm behavior measured in a controlled laboratory environment was regressed on different indexes of religiosity. Results indicated that higher religious service attendance predicted lower self-harm behavior, while higher parent religious service attendance predicted higher self-harm behavior. Prayer outside of organized religious activity was not a significant predictor in this model.
