Résumé

Cette étude examine la relation entre la religiosité et le sentiment d’avoir un but dans la vie chez les jeunes réfugiés musulmans (n = 222; âge moyen = 20,18 ans) en Allemagne, un sujet peu exploré jusqu’à présent. Conformément aux recherches précédentes, les personnes interrogées avaient un sentiment modéré mais positif d’avoir un but dans la vie, qui était favorisé par la religiosité. L’analyse de régression a montré que même après avoir tenu compte de la santé physique et du soutien social, la religiosité restait un facteur prédictif important du sentiment d’avoir un but dans la vie, l’ampleur de son effet ne différant pas de manière significative des deux autres variables du modèle. Les résultats soulignent l’importance de la religiosité et du soutien social pour le bien-être des jeunes réfugiés musulmans.
