| Summary: | The study of religious socialization and identity formation has seen a convergence between developmentalists and sociologists, where a line of inquiry explored by Smith and Sikkink emphasizing the effect of socialization and identity formation on religious outcomes finds a correspondence to Marcia's typology based on commitment and exploration. The Second Wave of the National Study of Youth and Religion was used to test for the effects of parenting styles and youth autonomy on religious outcomes. Measures of parental socialization and youth identity formation were developed from panel study data and tested using ordered logit regression. Youth in high tension religions were found to show more religious commitment while parental constraints and solidarity with parents were found to be insignificantly associated with religious outcomes. Several directions for future research on the socialization of adolescents by their parents are discussed. |
