| Summary: | The argument in this longitudinal study of 375 adolescents, 16 to 18 years old is that the impact of geographical mobility on religious orientation derives from the social meaning of mobility to the mover. It is argued that the impact of mobility will vary according to the social basis of behavior and beliefs. Results supported predictions that those aspects of adolescent religious orientation based on identification with reference groups would be relatively resilient to the impact of mobility, while behavior based on compulsion would be more vulnerable. |
