Growing Up in a Diverse Society: Adolescents’ Interest in Parental Religious Socialization Messages
Journal of Family Communication, 2017Co-Authors: Neda Bebiroglu, Jolanda Van Der Noll, Isabelle RoskamAbstract:ABSTRACTBecause Western societies are becoming increasingly Religiously diverse, the sociocultural context in which young adolescents currently grow up differs from that of their parents. This raises the question to what extent adolescents are interested in communicating with their parents about religion. In a cross-sectional study of 498 Belgian adolescents ages 12–18-years (mean age = 14.94, SD = 1.34), we examined how adolescent interest in communicating with parents about religion was related to the link between parental Religious Socialization messages and adolescent Religious out-group attitudes. Testing two models, we aimed to understand whether (a) adolescent interest in communicating with parents about religion mediated the link between parental Religious Socialization and adolescent Religious out-group attitudes or (b) parental Religious Socialization mediated the link between adolescent interest in communicating with parents about religion and adolescent Religious out-group attitudes.

Discussing Religion: Exploring the Link Between Parental Religious Socialization Messages and Youth Outcomes
Review of Religious Research, 2015Co-Authors: Neda Bebiroglu, Isabelle Roskam, Nastasya Straten WailletAbstract:This study explored the relation between adolescent reports of parental Religious Socialization (i.e., cultural Socialization, promotion of mistrust, and pluralism) and their Religious out-group evaluations, externalizing and internalizing behaviors. Crosssectional data were obtained from 730 12- to 15-year old Belgian adolescents through questionnaires. Results from multilevel and ordinary linear regression analyses indicated that pluralism was associated with higher Religious out-group evaluations whereas promotion of mistrust was associated with lower Religious out-group evaluations and higher externalizing and internalizing behaviors. Cultural Socialization interacted with the importance adolescents give to religion to influence youth externalizing behaviors. Despite its limitations, this study presents a complex picture of the association between Religious Socialization practices and adolescent outcomes and offers an alternative pathway to understand parental Religious Socialization.

The Religious Gender Gap within Dutch Relationships: Explaining the Persistent Religious Gender Gap in the Netherlands Using a Multifactorial Approach
Journal of Empirical Theology, 2019Co-Authors: J. Kregting, Paul Vermeer, Peer Scheepers, Chris A.m. HermansAbstract:Like other Western countries, in the Netherlands women continue to demonstrate higher levels of religiosity than men. In this article, we set out to explain this Dutch Religious gender gap regarding belief in God, prayer and church attendance. Using high quality survey data (LISS 2015), a comprehensive model is built combining social and psychological differences between Dutch men and women. These gender differences are operationalized where they are most strongly experienced, i.e. within personal relationships. We find that the gender gaps within Dutch relationships regarding belief in God and prayer can be explained by gendered Religious Socialization and gendered mental health dependency - and for belief in God additionally by the gendered level of agreeableness. For the gender gap regarding church attendance, gendered Religious Socialization explains the Religious gender gap.

Religious Practice and Religious Socialization: Comparative Research among Christian, Muslim and Hindu Students in Tamilnadu, India
Journal of Empirical Theology, 2007Co-Authors: Francis-vincent Anthony, Chris A.m. Hermans, Carl SterkensAbstract:This article seeks, first, to offer a comprehensive theoretical framework of Religious practice — based particularly on the works of Stark and Glock — that may be used in comparative research among adherents of different Religious traditions. Secondly we clarify the role of the agents of Religious Socialization and their function as "reference others", taking into account the contributions of Bajzek, Milanesi and Schlenker. The empirical analysis of the data based on these theoretical considerations brings to light a model of institutional Religious practice whereby Christian, Islamic and Hindu traditions may be compared. The results also underscore the association between the Religious community and involvement in institutional Religious practices in the case of the three Religious groups and the differentiated impact of the other agents of Religious Socialization in the case of each religion. A further finding is that gender affects particularly the Christians in their institutional Religious practices. The paper ends with a discussion of these findings.

African American Adolescents’ Psychological Well-Being: The Impact of Parents’ Religious Socialization on Adolescents’ Religiosity
Race and Social Problems, 2017Co-Authors: Sheretta T. Butler-barnes, Pamela P. Martin, Donte T. BoydAbstract:The dearth of research literature on the Religious beliefs and practices of African American adolescents has led to increased empirical inquiry, yet a lack of research considers African American adolescents’ Religious beliefs and practices as an important developmental milestone. This study explored how African American parents’ Religious Socialization affected youth Religious experiences and served as a culturally specific strength-based asset that promotes psychological well-being. Our sample included a socioeconomically diverse sample of 154 African American families. Accounting for demographics, adolescents’ relationship and communication with God were found to be associated with a healthier psychological well-being. Additionally, parents’ Religious Socialization impacted the relationship between youths Religious beliefs and practice and psychological well-being. Overall, results suggest that parents’ and adolescents’ Religious beliefs can promote psychological well-being.

Integration and religiosity among the Turkish second generation in Europe: A comparative analysis across four capital cities
Ethnic and Racial Studies, 2011Co-Authors: Fenella Fleischmann, Karen PhaletAbstract:Drawing on recent cross-national surveys of the Turkish second generation, we test hypotheses of secularization and of Religious vitality for Muslim minorities in Europe. Secularization predicts an inverse relationship between structural integration and religiosity, such that the Turkish second generation would be less Religious with higher levels of educational attainment and intermarriage. The Religious vitality hypothesis predicts the maintenance of religion in the second generation, highlighting the role of Religious Socialization within immigrant families and communities. Taking a comparative approach, these hypotheses are tested in the context of different national approaches to the institutionalization of Islam as a minority religion in four European capital cities: Amsterdam, Berlin, Brussels and Stockholm. Across contexts, Religious Socialization strongly predicts second-generation religiosity, in line with Religious vitality. The secularization hypothesis finds support only among the second generation in Berlin, however, where Islam is least accommodated.
