Family determinants and students’ religious dietary customs

Summary/Abstract: Introduction. The study aims to analyse religious dietary customs determining family life. The research is an example of an empirical application of the concept of attitudes whose origins lie in one’s adopted worldview, which is also true of health-promoting education. Material and methods. The survey was conducted in 2016 in three academic centres. It involved 387 students studying in teacher training courses. Nutritional customs based on one’s religiosity were diagnosed using a proprietary Nutritional Attitude Scale, verified by factorial and discriminatory analysis. In the investigation of family-related determinants, the Family Assessment Scales by A. Margasiński were used. Results. The relationship between the assessment of the family functioning and nutritional dietary customs related to religiousness are influenced by gender, which acts as an intermediary variable. It turns out that , in the group of the surveyed men, a positive assessment of family’s functioning is conducive to the observance of religious principles related to nutritional customs. In the case of women, the dependencies are not so significant as there are fewer correlations. Conclusions. Religiousness differentiates nutritional customs of people with different worldviews. The family background and internal relationships are important factors determining religious nutritional and dietary customs.
